One has signed historic climate and infrastructure legislation, steered the economy past a recession and rallied the west against Vladimir Putin. The other spent Monday on trial for fraud ranting and raving against a judge in a puerile display from the witness stand.
And if a presidential election were held today, Joe Biden would lose to Donald Trump by a lot, according to the latest swing state polls.
Those pesky voters, eh, David? It's almost as if they don't actually believe those things are the triumph that you and your crowd believe they are, isn't it?
Conventional wisdom used to hold that Trump’s myriad legal woes would help in the Republican primary and hurt him in the presidential election.
Now even that no longer seems certain as Trump appears politically bulletproof and Democrats sweat over the disconnect between Biden’s record and his flagging numbers.
Maybe stop thinking about it as 'a disconnect' when it's entirely possible it's the cause. The voters don't seem to want what Biden's selling, do they? Or maybe they don't want it because Biden's selling it?
Only one thing isn't in doubt; 2024 is going to be a very interesting Presidential election...
