Many Democrat politicians are now openly demeaning Joe Biden. Reports keep coming out of a scheme to get rid of the worst president of all time well before the 2024 elections. The Democrat Party is scared of Biden’s reelection bid.
Bottom line: “It’s pretty clear that the left is organizing to dump Joe Biden.” So concludes political commentator and policy scholar, Powerline’s Steven Hayward. This analysis is entitled Pincer Movement to Dump Biden is Taking PlaceHayward went bottom line from the beginning.
It’s pretty clear that the left is organizing to dump Joe Biden when it becomes evident that he’s a certain loser in 2024. The left should push Joe Biden out of office before a Ted Kennedy-like opponent emerges in 2024, as this would lead to Democrats being defeated.
Hang on. The Democrats (pundit checks notes) do not have a “Ted Kennedy-like figure” to challenge Biden. Worse, the Democrats don’t exactly have a deep bench, these days. And as noted by Hayward, “It goes without saying that the Democratic Party intelligentsia knows Kamala Harris is a hopeless candidate.”
Consider it as a Democrat’s view. It is a terrifying thought, I am sure. There is no denying that Biden has lost his cognitive ability on a daily basis. Every poll shows a worse picture. Quite the pickle, isn’t it? Play stupid games, win silly prizes.
Hayward believes the Democrat “pincer movement” has three parts.
The First, “We can expect a steady drumbeat of [left-leaning] media stories,” predicts Hayward, such as the latest from so-called mainstream political reporter Ronald Brownstein, whose latest op-ed, Biden is a man out of time?, makes clear that the media and the Democrat base remain just as clueless as Biden — wishing he would be even moreRadially leftist.
I’m no larger-than-life “very stable genius” Republican with a “very, very, big brain” and “good words,” (I couldn’t resist) but evenIt find it incredible that the Democrat state media and the socialist radicals within the Democrat Party fail to see that the majority of American adults overwhelmingly reject their so-called “progressive” push to destroy America and its valued institutions on as many fronts as possible.
In addition to the direct “reporting” about Biden’s problems, Hayward suggests there will be an increasing number of indirect attacks:
Direct attacks on general administration failures will occur. This week Politico ran a long piece about what a terrible press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre is turning out to be. My theory is that she was picked to make Kamala Harris look good by comparison, but her failure at the job is so conspicuous that it can’t be papered over.
Karine Jean Pierre, as I have previously mentioned, is so miserable at work she makes Jen Psaki, under George W. Bush, look like Dana Perino. Perfect example: KJP recently laughed off a question from CNN host Don Lemon about Biden’s stamina and declining mental acuity.
It Second TeilHayward suggests that of the pincer movements will be what I mentioned in my opening paragraph. Democrat Party insiders are going to start publically dumping on Biden. Last week it was David Axelrod, the architect of Barack Obama’s rise to power. In an appearance on CNN, Axelrod said “There is this sense that things are kind of out of control and he’s not in command.”
“Out of control”? Definitely. “Kind of”? Hardly. We are. Everything you need to know what “not in command” means.
Troisième, believes Hayward, as I have previously written, it won’t just be Conservative writers who pull hamstrings rushing to “report” on Biden’s latest poll disaster.
Watch out for Bad-News for Biden polls increasing in frequency and intensity. It becomes a self-reinforcing feedback loop for party insiders like Axelrod and the media alike: every new poll gives them the opportunity to provide “analysis” that all points in the same direction.
Incidentally, the practice of running or commissioning a poll and then reporting the results as “news” is hardly new. Hayward pointed to the late historian Daniel Boorstin, who called the practice a pseudo-event, the definition of which is “not spontaneous; planted primarily, but not always exclusively, for the purpose of being reported or reproduced.” Bingo.
Let’s get to the bottom of it:
As to the Democrat Party’s Biden problemPerhaps it is clearer than that, in 2024, the Republicans will be able to take back the White House.
While I have an uneasy feeling that Republican voters will snatch defeat from the jaws of victory, I’m also encouraged by the reality that an increasing number of conservatives continue to wake the hell up.
