Republicans have not lost their talent for coming up with boogeymen to scare white voters, and thanks to a dumb comment by Terry McAuliffe in a debate, they have succeeded in turning parents’ rights in schools into a wedge issue. “I used to advise mayors, you can be as visionary as you want, but just make sure you take the garbage out and fill the potholes,” said David Axelrod, who oversaw messaging for Obama. While the Democrats wallow in a family food fight, Americans are still stressed and exhausted from the whole COVID ordeal, confronting high gas prices and stymied from getting the appliances and Christmas toys they want. But what are you transforming into? The election cratering showed that such overweening efforts are putting off many voters who are still struggling just to get by as they move beyond the degradation wrought by Trump and COVID. Abigail Spanberger, D-Va., a moderate in a tough reelection battle, told The New York Times’ Jonathan Martin and Alexander Burns about the president: “Nobody elected him to be FDR they elected him to be normal and stop the chaos.”īiden has pursued his two bills with Captain Ahab-like zeal he pines to be FDR and eclipse Barack Obama, who pushed him aside for Hillary Clinton.Ĭhuck Schumer and Nancy Pelosi hail the bills as transformational. I mean, this defund the police lunacy, this take Abraham Lincoln’s name off of schools.” Look at Long Island, look at Buffalo, look at Minneapolis, even look at Seattle, Wash. Don’t just look at Virginia and New Jersey. There’s some truth in what James Carville told Judy Woodruff: “What went wrong is this stupid wokeness. The question raised by Tuesday’s debacle for Democrats is, now that Biden’s high poll ratings and goodwill are squandered, how do they turn the mishegoss into a winning message? Only 44,000 votes in Arizona, Wisconsin and Georgia saved Biden from an Electoral College tie.Īnd for a long time now, people have been watching the spectacle of Democrats grinding away at the sausage and fighting for their piece of the pie (to make a metaphoric meal). Scranton Joe was supposed to be the sensible, steady one.Īfter all, as Democrats are keenly aware, Trump lost the 2020 race as much as Biden won it.

Many who were sick of Trump chaos and ineptitude are now sick of Biden chaos and ineptitude.
