In the mid-90’s, President Clinton hired famed pollster Dick Morris to triangulate Clinton’s path to victory in 1996. Morris told Clinton that polling is not designed to tell someone what to do. Rather, polling is designed to tell one how to sell what they want to do. President Biden has forgotten that lesson and now, instead of leading, he is being led around by his polling.
The Silent Generation--who achieved success in life just by showing up and brown-nosing when they got there--never had a president from their generation, until now.
Now we know why.
If you're always trying to make everyone happy, eventually nobody will be happy.
If Dark Brandon is really a thing, he needs to take a dose of Growacet and show up.
"Biden has slowly walked away from Israel and handed Hamas, a terrorist group that also wants to kill Americans, a victory in the press. "
The day is coming when one group of Americans is going to have to get rid of another group of (nominal) Americans. These 'fellow citizens' in Grand Rapids, Minneapolis, Lewiston, etc want the rest of us dead
Biden is not the source of our problems; he's simply doing what his puppet masters are telling him to do. Yes, he and his administration have made everything a lot worse on the path to anarchy. But we were already on the path. No, Trump isn't going to save us or slow the plummet down the spiral. Having said all that, do I hope that Biden loses in November? Yes. Do I think that if Trump wins all of the MAGA and a lot of conservatives will be celebrating they've "won"? Yes. But I fear it's going to be a Pyrrhic victory, at best.
Ha! It’s not a sin until you judge where his ultimate destination lies. Deciding that he’s unfit to hold office or represent the Catholic faith is merely discernment.
Israel should have done what it needed to do and ignored Biden. Netanyahu is a better politician than that. I suspect his quest for power got in the way of doing right by his people. Biden's crippling old age and loss of cognitive function makes him nothing more than a pawn for evil in the world.
Never under estimate Biden’s ability to F things up also Joe Biden has never been on the right side of a foreign policy. Those comments were from Obama and his secretary of defense and now we are on the receiving end of the worst president in the history of this country
There is a long laundry list of American president's failing to follow up with their allies. Bay of Pigs comes to mind but it is still early and just started the coffee drip.
"Tragically and ironically, had Israel stormed into southern Gaza, destroyed Hamas, and leveled Rafah quickly, the war would be over and public opinion would not have shifted so decisively against Israel." This should be a lesson for every American president moving forward. EVERY war, including WWII, has lasted beyond the American public's willingness to support it unconditionally. Once that Rubicon is crossed, the strategy for victory is compromised, the timeline to victory lengthens, and our enemies know they have our backs to the wall. Like it or not, war is about killing people and breaking stuff. The more we do of both in the shortest time possible, the better our chances for complete victory with minimal US casualties.
And absent victory all you have is an ongoing slow burn of aggression that does nothing but embolden the enemy and lead to an escalation of violence.
See Korea, 1949 Arab-Israel War.
Israel won the West Bank and then chose to let the aggressors stay.
In fact King Hussein of Egypt learned of the U.N. resolution for a cease fire and tried to delay pulling out of the West Bank, fortunately for Israel there was confusion and Israel took the land.
The U.N. is not useless, it enables dictators, despots, and terrorist.
Signatures on paper do not secure peace.
Violence and the threat of violence is the only thing that has secured peace for 5000 years.
Darkness is the status quo, it has only to wait for the light to go out. It takes good people and effort to keep the light shining.
Biden will cater to one voting bloc by trying to appear he's doing something while not actually doing anything while trying to appeal to the opposite voting bloc by trying not to be doing anything while trying to appear like he's doing something.
Biden is the puppet of the "One World Gov." that is in Washington. They are the wealthy of the world and want total control of the World as soon as possible. They were totally surprised when Trump won last time and will do anything to keep him out of the White House.
They know that biden can NOT do another 4 years and they will make that change soon. But they will have him run as they think he will win. But you can see how obama has gotten close to him and will help him run for now. But the demoflat conference in Aug will be the tell tale of what he will do.
Biden is not a leader. He’s a plagiarist at best and a traitor at worst. His policy decisions are horrible as evidenced by wars in the Middle East and Eurasian landmass. Inflation is raging out of control. The jobs numbers are a lie. In short his presidency has been a disaster. He needs to go.
The most unfortunate thing about Biden’s choices are the consequences. People have died, have been severely injured and it continues today - soldiers unnecessarily in harms way, hundreds of thousands from fentanyl, numerous Laken Riley’s, Afghanis, Ukrainians, Israelis, Africans, people we don’t even know of and more innocents to come. Our enemies are thriving or surviving - Xi, Putin, Little Rocket Man, Mexican Cartels, Iranian Mullahs and Hamas leaders in Qatar. Alfred E. Biden shrugs his shoulders and shuffles along with a “what me worry” attitude. His handlers just need the power - win at all costs.
I’m no Trumper, but God willing he wins. The western left seems okay with it all as long as a baby can be aborted at full term and trans men are acknowledged as real women - everything else be damned. Rant over, but as Linda says, “God has this.”
Imagine if Abe Lincoln had made policy by polling during the 1864 election. He would have negotiated a cease fire and armistice with Jefferson Davis, leading to a possibility of permanent split.
Any leader who completely ignores the opinions of those whom he leads won't be leader long. Lincoln delayed issuing the Emancipation Proclamation until he thought that public opinion was ready for it.
That is, no successful politician completely ignores the polling of popular opinion. If you think the ones that you support don't do so as well, you're being naive.

Polling is not leadership and Biden is no leader.

Worst President, father, husband, Catholic, human ever. Bless his heart. Am I judging? Forgive me.

Isn't it obvious what type of great leader he is with his stellar 40+ year senate career? Oh, well, uhmm, I guess you're right.

In listing Biden's faults, you left out causing tooth decay.
If he’s not given you a case of WTFs then you have no soul…
Then I stand condemned.
Would it help if I got that from Trump?

You’re correct about the delay, but you seem to be attributing a lot of other beliefs to me as well.
He is continuing what he has done for over 59 years - nothing
Except his nothing has had much farther reaching consequences.
Unfortunately, mostly for the poor and middle class. Well, they are the ones who usually pay for the whims of the elite.
Yep, they’re also the ones that voted him and the rest of the elites into power. Sow the wind, reap the whirlwind.
Progressive winds blow in only one direction: disaster.
