Oh boy, the Democrats are in quite a pickle! It seems like they’re starting to realize that sleepy Joe Biden might actually lose the next election, even if he goes head-to-head with their favorite target, Donald Trump. They’re panicking as time ticks away, with just a few months left until the nomination process starts. And to add insult to injury, they don’t have a clear alternative with a national campaign infrastructure. Yikes!
They’re left with no choice but to go all-in on the Biden basket and cross their fingers for the best outcome. But let’s face it, even with all the baggage weighing Trump down, it might not be enough for the Democrats to secure another win. And you know what? I can’t help but enjoy watching the lefty chattering class and the media squirm with anxiety. It’s no surprise, especially since Trump has edged ahead of Biden in the Real Clear Politics average. Ouch!
But it’s not just the polls that are delivering bad news for Biden and his party. Some recent findings are downright brutal. Get this: only 34% of Americans approve of Biden’s handling of the economy, while a whopping 59% disapprove. Even independents, who hold the key to Trump’s struggles, are souring on Biden. A staggering 76% of them believe the economy is getting worse. And even within the Democrats’ own ranks, 34% admit that things are going downhill. Ouch, again!
And let’s talk about the cost of living. A glaring 84% of Americans agree that their cost of living is rising, with food and groceries being their top concern. Guess what? People were doing a whole lot better under the previous administration, especially before COVID hit us. And independent voters, who Trump has had a tough time wooing, are giving him a 20-point lead on the economy. That’s a big deal, folks. It’s simple, really. Everything just costs a whole lot more since Biden took office, and people are feeling it in their wallets.
But it’s not just the economy that’s giving the Democrats heartburn. There’s also the issue of Biden’s age and his capacity to effectively serve as president. Voters, despite their unfavorable view of Trump, don’t see him as too old for the job. But Biden? Well, let’s just say the majority of people think he might not be up for the gig. Ouch, for the third time!
"The consumer-price index, a measure of goods and services prices across the U.S. economy, rose 0.6% in August from the prior month, the fastest pace in more than a year…" That's on top of double-digit price increases we've already seen under Biden. https://t.co/XFmk9C5l5u

It’s clear that Democrats are in trouble, my fellow conservatives. Even though voters have reservations about Trump’s temperament and character, they still prefer him in a hypothetical crisis moment over the man currently in office. And boy, do the Democrats have a tough sell with Biden’s running mate. Even Nancy Pelosi can’t bring herself to say if she’s the best choice for the 2024 ticket. Talk about lack of enthusiasm!
So, as we head toward the next election, it’s becoming increasingly obvious that it might come down to turnout and enthusiasm. And if you take a good look at the photographs from some Biden events, it seems like enthusiasm is in short supply. I mean, just zoom in and see how many people in that audience look excited about Biden or his so-called ‘Bidenomics.’ It’s like trying to sell a sh*t sandwich and hoping people will line up for seconds.
Let the heartburn continue, Democrats, because it looks like the road to victory is getting rockier by the minute.
