Wade Is Doomed<\/strong><\/p>\n Fewer Than Half Say Covid Is Most Urgent Health Problem<\/strong><\/p>\n The War on Meritocracy<\/strong><\/p>\n If you work your way through the list there is no good news for Biden and the Dems.\u00a0 Everything is either things going our way or it\u2019s things that Biden or some other Lefty is doing that are driving the public to despise them.\u00a0 It\u2019s not a good idea to underestimate the Republicans\u2019 talent for screwing up a good thing but it seems that since August Biden has seemed like that guy in the cartoon surrounded by rakes, that he keeps stepping on, and that keep hitting him in the face.\u00a0 Well, good!\u00a0 After 2020 we\u2019re certainly overdue for some good news.\u00a0 The question that has to be asked is, do we expect this to continue?<\/p>\n I think the answer is yes.\u00a0 Regardless of the pat answers that the Left has been handing out, the supply chain problems and inflation don\u2019t just disappear because we don\u2019t find them convenient.\u00a0 Dementia Joe can beg the Saudis all he likes to drop the cost of oil but that\u2019s not how it works.\u00a0 The economic pain that he is causing almost everyone is not going away and his COVID policies continue to aggravate just about everyone, even a lot of his supporters.<\/p>\n The next question is how will this play out in the short, medium and long range?\u00a0 In the short and middle range, the administration\u2019s attempt to railroad the reconciliation bill through the objections of Kyrsten Sinema and Joe Manchin is failing miserably and this failure is panicking the Congressional Democrats who are coming up for reelection in less than a year.\u00a0 In fact, it\u2019s now a foregone conclusion that the Democrats will lose the House of Representatives in 2022.\u00a0 And it\u2019s beginning to look like there may be a wave election that sweeps large numbers of both Democrat representatives and senators out of office.\u00a0 If this happens then the Biden administration is essentially dead in the water.\u00a0 Without the Senate it\u2019s a cinch that no more judges in any of the federal courts will be approved and it\u2019s also a certainty that no controversial legislation will occur.<\/p>\n In the long term it looks like the Biden presidency will be something worse than the Carter presidency.\u00a0 A number of people are beginning to think that Biden will not serve out his full term. \u00a0In fact, some pundits think the Democrats are looking to get rid of both Biden and Harris.\u00a0 And if the House is going to be lost in November, then it becomes important to swap out vice presidents before then because the House is in charge of approving vice-presidential appointments.\u00a0 All kinds of horror stories have been whispered about Hillary or Michelle Obama being installed as vice president in time to allow a transition when Dementia Joe resigns.\u00a0 The desperation that would warrant these kinds of bizarre strategies is wonderful to contemplate.\u00a0 The reality of just how total a train wreck the Biden presidency has become is something to behold.\u00a0 Federal judges are putting holds on each of his vaccine mandates and look almost certain to declare them unconstitutional.\u00a0 If and when the federal COVID overreach is ended by the courts Joe will probably declare victory over COVID and do some kind of victory lap.\u00a0 But the anger he has already fostered will not be going away.\u00a0 The way things are going we are looking at a long slow burn for the American public waiting to get rid of the monstrosity that they had foisted on them in January.<\/p>\n Now what could go wrong with this analysis?\u00a0 Obviously, the Stupid Party could come to the rescue of the Evil Party by virtue of their stupid.\u00a0 Guys like Mitch McConnell live with their heads completely enclosed in their butts.\u00a0 Another strategy that could be used to distract the public from Joe\u2019s failures is a convenient war.\u00a0 And finally, there is the chance that against all odds everything starts turning around for Joe just when he needs it to.\u00a0 Manchin could finally take the bribe and inflation could magically disappear and Biden\u2019s brain could be found and reinstalled.<\/p>\n But I\u2019ll have to say I\u2019ve become quite bullish for the chances that the Biden presidency is a dead duck.\u00a0 Call me a crazy optimist but that\u2019s what I think.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Here\u2019s a generous slice of today\u2019s headlines on Real Clear
