Source:White Flag With Joe Walsh talking about what Joe Biden needs to do to defeat Donald Trump. |
"For the next five months, Republicans and the right will do all they can to convince the American people that Joe Biden is senile and completely out of it. It's up to Joe Biden to refute that. In fact, only Biden himself can refute that. What a great opportunity."
I agree with Joe Walsh that Joe Biden is the only one who can defeat Donald Trump and that he has to do it himself.
The thing that I would add to that is that people don't like Donald Trump. I'm not talking about job approval or anything like that. Since 2017, Donald Trump's approval rating has been somewhere around up 30s and topping out in the mid 40s.
In a two-way presidential election between himself and Hillary Clinton, Mr. Trump only got 45% of the popular vote. You would think a popular politician and presidential candidate would be in the 50s or better. And 4 years later again in a two-way presidential election, then President Trump only got 46% of the vote. Sitting President of the United States, who only manages 46% of the vote, who loses two states that Republicans almost never lose, at least since 1992, in Georgia and Arizona.
And with all the economic issues relating to the high interest rates, inflation, rising housing and banking costs, now former President Trump is basically in a dead even tie with President Biden.
So I think American voters of all political backgrounds have concluded that they don't like Donald Trump and probably don't want him to be President of the United States. But picking the next President of the United States is not like shopping around for a car or a house. It's more like picking a meal on an airplane. (Hopefully in 1st class) It's generally a choice between 2 people who can actually win the election in America. And it's generally not about who you like more. But in many cases do you even like 1 of the choices or none of them. Or, maybe you just dislike 1 of the choices more than the other.
I think without the inflation and interest rates and with all the positive economic factors, like the job and economic growth, the rising wages and incomes, and inflation has finally stabilized at least at 3% and hopefully going down now, but if inflation was 1-1.5% even, Joe Biden even at 81 years old, has a 5-10 points right now. Because I think Independents would be saying, along with center-right Republicans who don't want to vote for Donald Trump, they would be saying Joe Biden is old, but the economy is in good shape and the President is better suited than Donald Trump to deal with the foreign policy issues oversees.
So where I agree with Joe Walsh is that it's up to Joe Biden to prove to Independents especially, that he's simply up for the job right now, regardless of his age. He does that, I think he wins the Electoral College comfortably.
And why President Biden is convincing Independents that he's up for the job both physically and mentally, he continues to show Donald Trump for the man that he exactly is as someone whose just in it for himself. (To quote the Biden Campaign) Who is imply running for President of the United States not to serve the people and to serve his country. But to stay out of prison and lock up his political opponents.
President Biden does these two things, he'll have a great election night and we will know that he'll be reelected if not on election night, before the sun comes up on the Wednesday after.
