Joe Biden's failures put pressure on Democrats

Joe Biden's mountain of failures, starting with his failed Afghanistan withdrawal, then continuing with his 'minor incursions' press conference and his open borders policy have Democrats reeling. That's just the start of Democrats' problems. Joe's painful cognitive decline and Joe's pardon of Hunter (and his imminent pardoning of his partners in crime, aka Jim and Frank Biden) must have Democrats wondering if they'll ever win.

Prior to Donald Trump's thumping of Kamala Harris, people talked about the Democrats' machine. They aren't talking about that machine much anymore. The Bernie Sanders/AOC wing of the Democrat Party is accusing the DLC wing of the Democrat Party of forgetting about kitchen table issues. The DLC wing of the Democrat Party is accusing the Bernie/AOC wing of being too crazy for most Americans.

The Democrats' Identity Crisis

The Democrats' crisis is that both wings are right -- and wrong. Right now, the Democrat Party is like a rudderless ship. Thanks to the Democrats' insistence on relying on identity politics, Democrats don't have an identity. Isn't that ironic?

This election cycle, Democrats lost President Obama as an influencer. The fact is President Obama just isn't that influential anymore. His scolding of young black men was a turning point moment. Check this out:

Democrats are in a difficult position. They've relied on Hollywood celebrities, President Obama's power of persuasion and buying off enough other voters to win elections. That coalition isn't a winner anymore. Now they're faced with a crisis. How do they buildd a new winning coalition? It must start with better policies. This is still a center-right nation. This isn't Bernie's socialist utopia. He wants it to be but that isn't who we are. Period.

Future Democrat Leaders
Of the people who were on VP Harris's shortlist, none of them is presidential timbre. Discard Gov. Hair Gel, aka Gavin Newsom, Gretchen Whitmer, J.B. Pritzker and Jared Polis, too. That's just the start of the Democrats' problems.

What's next?
The first thing Democrats need to do is start listening. Let the people tell you what's important rather than having Harry Reid or Nancy Pelosi tell the people what's important. This is why Trump is now President-Elect Trump:

If Democrats don't rebuild right, they'll be in the political wilderness 10+ years. The American people want the real thing, not the Democrats' gimmicks. This isn't a game. It's about getting things right the first time and every time. That doesn't happen without building on a firm foundation.

The Obama/Pelosi/Reid/Schumer is history. President Trump put together a great economy while shutting the border. He built things right. It's still questionable whether Democrats are willing to put in the work and build things right.

Tim Walz's Confederate Flag Fiasco

Image
After Minnesota's Democrats shoved the most controversial progressive legislation down Minnesotans' throats, gossip started popping up about Gov. Walz being interested in running for president . That's died off but Gov. Walz is still making headlines, this time for all the wrong reasons. First, Gov. Walz isn't the brightest bulb in the chandelier. Still, Gov. Walz is fighting against Minnesota's history. This Alpha News article quotes David Hann, the chairman of Minnesota's Republican Party, as saying " The flag the DFL has eliminated was a version of the historic flag our regiments fought under during the Civil War. Minnesota was the first state to offer troops to the Union cause in 1861 , beginning a long tradition of leading the nation in confronting injustice. The DFL quest to erase our history is repugnant and should be rejected." Gov. Walz, though, sees things differently. He's quoted as saying "Minnesota is a diverse state, it continue...

What is Kamala Harris afraid of?

Image
Apparently, Kamala Harris suddenly loves debating. Let me rephrase that. Harris loves debating as long as the moderators are partisan hacks. She wants nothing to do with a debate moderated by Fox's Bret Baier and Martha MacCallum. She's afraid of Bret and Martha because a) they'll either fact-check both her and Trump or they won't fact-check either of them and b) Bret and Martha aren't afraid of asking follow-up questions. To a candidate whose answers are scripted and who isn't quick on her feet, the last thing you want is a follow-up question. Kamala fears follow-up questions like vampires hate wooden stakes, sunlight and holy water. Why has Kamala Harris avoided Fox News like the plague? The moderators/propagandists fact-checked Donald Trump aggressively but didn't fact-check Harris . Why didn't David Muir and Linsey Davis fact-check both candidates equally? Is it because Harris doesn't like fair fights? Perhaps she's just afraid of getting exp...

Why is Joe Biden letting Hamas off the hook?

Image
It isn't disputable whether Joe Biden's administration is letting Hamas off the hook. That issue was settled months ago, when a spineless Joe Biden caved to activists interested in saving Hamas and thwarting the Israelis' attempt to defend themselves. Gerard Baker's op-ed highlights what's at stake for the U.S. if the terrorists are permitted to survive. In his op-ed, Baker wrote "If, under the pressure of internal Democratic politics and global public opinion, the Biden administration forces a 'cease-fire' that leaves our closest ally in the region short of victory over an enemy that seeks to destroy it, sooner or later we shall all pay the price." It's time to revisit George W. Bush's speech to a joint session of Congress on Sept. 20, 2001. It's required that we remind ourselves of one of its most important paragraphs. In talking about who committed the atrocities of 9/11, President Bush identified al-Qa'ida as "a collectio...
