Joe Biden Must Answer for the Worst of the Democratic Party
Republicans have Trump; Democrats have another tiger by the tail.
For better or worse, richer or poorer, Republicans are stuck with the slings and arrows of President Donald J. Trump.
On one hand, outrageous fortune: A massive new fundraising machine, a brand new era of digital campaign mastery, swelling Republican voter registrations, fewer overly-onerous regulations, a robust economy, and a slew of new conservative judges, including three new Supreme Court Justices.
On the other hand, a sea of troubles.
Everyone hates Donald Trump. An army of celebrities are currently out campaigning against him- everyone from the cast of Happy Days to the cast of Seinfeld is getting in on the act. Musicians hate him. Big Tech companies, and almost all the people who work for these all-powerful giants, can’t stand him. Every mainstream media outlet from the Washington Post to the New England Journal of Medicine detests him.
Trump isn’t popular on college campuses. He isn’t popular in the boardrooms of companies anxious to prove allegiance to progressive causes and deference to Chinese Communist Party censors. He isn’t popular on the NBA basketball court, nor the MLB baseball diamond, nor on the NFL gridiron- not even at the Olympics.
