WASHINGTON — Midway through the third year of his first term as president, things were not looking good for Ronald Reagan.

His approval rating was consistently anemic as the nation struggled with high inflation. Voters gave him especially poor marks for his handling of the economy. And as he began his reelection campaign, people were openly questioning if he was too old for the job.

But four decades ago, Reagan went on to win a second term by running on a theme of economic renewal that his campaign famously branded as “Morning in America.” Now, noting the similarities to President Biden’s situation, some political experts said Reagan’s legendary turnaround offers a potential template for victory for the Democrat in 2024.

Jim Puzzanghera is a complete idiot

[sipow]

There was a spelling error in the title. Pretty sure it should have read:

“Can Joe Biden make it ‘Mourning in America’?”

And the answer is, of course, yes.

[Allegra]

LOL - comparing Reagan’s first term to Biden’s term is like comparing a beautiful spring day to a violent hurricane.

[Jim Robinson]

In a word, no.

[Right Brother]

I think he had a very high fever when he wrote this.

[kiryandil]

aka "Why Joe Biden no longer needs toilet paper".

Jim Puzzanghera and his ilk take care of that for The Tater.

The only way Brandon wins is if Deep State manages to send President in Exile Trump to prison on these BS charges.

Well, that, and cheating like they did in 2020.

While the ‘republicans’ sit on their hands. *SPIT*

The theme rang authentic with Reagan. It does not with Biden because Biden is obviously infirm. As much as the Left attacked Reagan for his age he wasn’t stumbling around confused on stage, falling down, etc. Biden is also cruel at heart, snapping at regular Americans with questions, and just weird with the hair sniffing and grabbing women.

DeSantis is trying to play a part and someone’s decided he needs to attack Trump from the right to get nominated. Terrible advice.

Joe has made it “The Morning After in America”-

LOL - comparing Reagan’s first term to Biden’s term is like comparing a beautiful spring day to a violent hurricane.... AFTER a nuclear reactor meltdown

[napscoordinator]

The media will sell in starting summer 2024.

[Jim Noble]

Any mention of Biden running again at this point is “maskirovka”.

Newsom is the candidate. The point is to distract everyone and get them chanting “Hunter Biden, Hunter Biden” while Joe slowly fades away and the surprise is sprung as late as possible.

[Jim Noble]

“ The only way Brandon wins is if…”

Biden is not the candidate.

[dfwgator]

You say that, but he’s been effective in getting their agenda put in place, because he’s the perfect ‘useful idiot’, so as long as he is useful, they will keep riding that horse.

[Tench_Coxe]

I din't recall Reagan ever giving a speech like this:

[volunbeer]

This is worthy of the Bee.

You can cover or masks a lot with perfume, but corruption overpowers everything.

[iamgalt]

The country is in flames and treasonous fools like Jim Puzzanghera hope creepy joe can get re elected by whatever means necessary.

[circlecity]

Actually it was during his third year that the economy turned around under Reagan. That’s what insured his landslide re-election.

[Sirius Lee]

The term is MAGA, and dopey isn't the one who can deliver it.

MAGA. Accept no substitutes!

[leaning conservative]

Just because it’s morning doesn’t mean it’s going to be a great day.
