Republicans, Can You Please Be Smart Instead of Letting Biden’s Tail Wag Your Dog?

Joe Biden’s approval rating is at 40% or worse. Inflation is still high. Gas is still high. Grocery bills are still high. One in two Americans cannot afford to fill their car up fully with gas. One in five Americans have to take stuff out of their grocery cart at checkout because they cannot afford the bill. Trump actually outpolls Joe Biden. Kamala Harris is a train wreck. Not a single media outlet in America has talked about the Democrats’ inflation measure, instead talking about their climate bill.

So naturally the Democrats have attempted a “wag the dog” scenario. For a full year, they’ve been clamoring to make 2022 about Trump instead of Biden. Last week, after lots of pressure on Attorney General Merrick Garland, the supposedly a-political Attorney General was induced by the political apparatchiks around him to send the FBI to Mar-a-Lago to retrieve documents that could have been retrieved after the election. After all, they’ve been there for over a year and have to placate the lynch mob left.

The entire stunt was used by Democrats and the press to frame the election as a referendum on Trump and not the current incumbent in the White House.

Sadly, too many Republicans took the bait.

If you can’t avoid talking about Trump, at least play some political jiu-jitsu on the whole thing. Repeat after me:

“The documents weren’t going anywhere. They’ve been there for more than a year. This could have waited until after the election, but Democrats have been trying to make 2022 about Trump and January 6th so they do not have to answer for Biden’s record.”

“If they want to talk about Trump, let’s talk about Trump. People’s 401K’s were not declining under Trump. They are going down under Biden. Gas prices were affordable under Trump. Now one out of every two Americans cannot fill up their tank. America was energy independent under Trump. Now Biden is begging rogue regimes to produce more oil for us. Americans did not have to worry about groceries under Trump. Now, if they can even find the groceries they want, they cannot afford them.”

“Under Donald Trump, no parent had to worry that their daughter’s athletic scholarship might go to a boy, and Joe Biden insists on it. No girl had to worry about a boy in her bathroom and Joe Biden will defund schools if boys aren’t allowed.”

“Under Donald Trump, he might have been too blunt and off putting, but he would not have put feelings over sensitivities as monkeypox spread. None of Donald Trump’s kids smoked crack with hookers and had the media work overtime to cover it up. Biden promised us a return to normalcy and instead he handed Afghanistan to the Taliban, American streets to criminals, and our retirement funds to bankrupty. He promised to beat COVID and COVID beat him up repeatedly. And even now, despite that, he’s firing American soldiers and sailors for not wanting to take a vaccine that won’t stop them from getting sick. He’ll put HIV+ soldiers on the front lines of active duty and fire healthy soldiers.”

“If Joe Biden wants to make this about Donald Trump, let’s make it about their records. Are you better off now than you were under Donald Trump? The answer for Americans is no. Your gas prices are higher, your grocery bills are higher, your city’s crime rates are higher. The only thing lower is your retirement account.”

Keep in mind, Democrats. Donald Trump performs better in polls right now than Joe Biden. Republicans need to keep the focus on Joe Biden and not let the tail wag the dog. If they can’t help themselves, at least use Trump’s record against Biden’s.
