NYT Columnist: ‘Decrepit-Seeming’ Joe Biden Is So Unpopular ‘He Could Easily Lose to Donald Trump
Breitbart ^ | 09/11/2023 | KRISTINA WONG

Posted on 09/11/2023 11:17:54 AM PDT by ChicagoConservative27

A New York Times columnist wrote in a recent piece that President Joe Biden is so unpopular he could “easily” lose to former President Donald Trump in 2024.

“Joe Biden is an unpopular president, and without some recovery, he could easily lose to Donald Trump in 2024,” Ross Douthat wrote in a September 9 piece. “[I]t’s been hard to distill a singular explanation for what’s kept his numbers lousy,” he added.

In the piece, titled, “Why is Joe Biden So Unpopular?” he cited potential reasons — persistent inflation and a far-left activist core of the Democrat Party pushing socially conservative minorities away — before settling on the issue of Biden’s age and lack of vigor.

He wrote:[M]aybe the big problem is just simmering anxiety about Biden’s age. Maybe his poll numbers dipped first in the Afghanistan crisis because it showcased the public absenteeism that often characterizes his presidency. Maybe some voters now just assume that a vote for Biden is a vote for the hapless Kamala Harris. Maybe there’s just a vigor premium in presidential campaigns that gives Trump an advantage.

Well, except for “The Big Steal”.

But, hey, get out and vote because...

“The NEXT election is the most important election of our lifetimes!“ LOL...

a far-left activist core of the Democrat Party pushing socially conservative minorities away

He minimizes the damage. The "far-left activist core of the Democrat Party" is pushing EVERYBODY away who isn't a far-left activist.

What has changed in elections since 2020? I think WI removed most of their dead voters, and the GA passed, but that proved to not accomplish anything in 2022. I don’t know what other reforms have been made.

Word is out, it’s okay to criticize Crooked Joe. They’re ready to discard the old fool.
Their biggest problem now, is how to ditch Mattress Back. I noticed they let a reporter ask her a few real questions, the other day, and she failed miserably.
Perhaps, they will let her fail on her own, it would be relatively easy, and the timing is right.

To the far left nobody else is far left enough. It’s like the French revolution where the revolutionaries went after each other for not being sufficiently revolutionary.

Leftist media is priming their base for Joe Biden not being on the ballot in 2024. Sometimes I think there’s no way Biden will get the DNC nomination in 2024.

But, then I think about 2020 when they kept Biden in his basement and simply stole the election through the engineered covid pandemic. They might just do a replay of 2024 with a new crisis so Joe can stay in the basement and have universal mail-in balloting again.

Who is going to stop them? The DOJ is merely an arm of the Democrat Party and GOP politicians are too scared to do anything about rampant cheating.

There’s no reason to look for a ‘singular’ explanation. His failures encompass many fronts.

Oh right, it’s his age! Not that we can’t afford to eat or fill our cars up. Nah.

No question Trump will beat Biden. That’s the number 1, 2 and 3 reasons they will not allow Biden to run this time around.

Joe will not go quietly into that good night. If he is pushed out he will take Obie with him. (Not) Dr. Jill will see to it…

“Why is Joe Biden So Unpopular?”

Besides persistent inflation and a far-left activist core calling the shots, and the issue of Biden’s age and blatant lack of vigor......there’s wastrel whoring Hunter lurking in the bgrnd.

<><>Maybe the big problem is simmering voter anxiety about Biden’s age.
<><>Maybe b/c his poll numbers began dipping in the Afghanistan debacle
<><>Maybe its the public absenteeism that characterizes his presidency.
<><>Maybe some voters see a vote for Biden is a vote for the hapless cackler Kamala.
<><>Maybe its a lack of Biden vigor that gives Trump an advantage.


Ironically, candidate Biden cast himself as a transitional figure to a “more youthful and optimistic future,” but that optimism in a “brighter future” is sorely lacking, to the point of being non-existent.

Its doubtful the doddering geriatric Biden is able to re-inspire it.
We are well past the point that this decrepit-looking president can hope to generate it himself.

Maybe they WANT a Republican to be president when the economy collapses under the debt load?
