Team Biden doesn’t seem to understand that attacking Mr. Trump as a fundamental threat to democracy revs up his base. Right or wrong, MAGA supporters see four indictments, a hostile media, and efforts to kick Mr. Trump off the ballot as threats to democracy. Most attacks on him have strengthened their devotion.
Railing about Mr. Trump’s traversing of norms doesn’t energize Biden voters,
Mr. Trump promises to pardon those now imprisoned for offenses, including violent ones, related to the Jan. 6, 2021, riots. That’s unacceptable to most Americans. He keeps claiming he won the 2020 election. While most Republicans believe that, nearly a third disagree, as do most independents.
Mr. Biden still doesn’t have an economic message that clicks with voters. Last year he used “Bidenomics” to describe what he claimed was a thriving economy, even though most Americans thought it stank.
Immigration is a disaster for Mr. Biden. If Congress doesn’t pass border-security legislation, the president can’t simply blame Republicans.

What’s wrong with this president is that he has no foreign policy.
His economic policy is bankrupting us and he doesn’t even have a decent successor. The only imaginable reason people can think of voting for him seems to be is that he is the lesser of the two evils running for president.
How he has managed to stop the Democrats from fielding a viable alternative is beyond me.
@WornoutExecutiveNo Labels4mos4MO
Because there is this ridiculous notion that he is the only one capable of beating Trump.
@Patriot-#1776Constitution4mos4MO
He's certainly incapable of beating Trump
@LeftLaneRuffsMountain4mos4MO
You forgot to mention the other disaster-in-waiting: VP Kamala. Probably the worst VP since at least Spiro Agnew. The only reason to pray for Biden’s good health is to avoid Kamala as next in line.

I don’t want Joe Biden or Trump on the ballot. But if that is the choice I’m given, I will hold my nose and vote for Trump.

Churchill was dismissed by the British before WWII. When the people in the UK realized he was right and Chamberlain was a failure, they called him back to save the nation. In America, we are facing the same. Trump will reverse the disastrous Biden policies and restore America’s security and standing in the world.

And then after Churchill became Prime Minister and saved Christian civilisation from Nazism, the Brits thanked him by voting for Socialist Clement Attlee – but Churchill came back just a few years later and reversed many socialist policies! I just finished Andrew Roberts' (conservative British MP & historian) biography, Churchill: Walking With Destiny, which I recommend you try on audio if you're interested!

Interesting analysis, but there is absolutely nothing President Biden can do to hide the fact that he is 81 years old and is cognitively and physically declining on an accelerated basis. We all can see it – even those who support him. The idea of him taking Office again in January 2025 at the age of 82 in what will likely be worse condition is frightening.
@CordialScarlettConstitution4mos4MO
Dems are likely to replace Biden with Governor Gretchen Whitmer at the convention ending what little chances Trump had at winning the general election.

Haley has one and only one hope for displacing the #1 Candidate in the Republican Presidential Primary and that is the dream that the SCOTUS will quickly permit Trump ballot removals to proceed. If the Court does act in this manner then a cascade of removals will ensue. If it does not then Haley will not win a single state caucus or primary.
To put the matter slightly differently, the Primary outcome is really in the hands of the nine Justices and the entire 2024 Presidential Election really has only 9 electors.
Everything else is theater, theater on a grand scare.

Biden is funding a genocide in Palestine so I won't be voting for him. I also won't be voting for Trump.

Tell me this, if consumer confidence is so high, why are earnings down? The narrowness of the stock market rally is historic. Mag7 doing all the heavy lifting. Why is UPS laying off 12,000 workers? I don't think it's because sales are up. You basically have an AI bubble masking a stock market collapse. Time is running out for the Biden fairy tale. It will soon be overcome by events.
