... seriously is like taking the current spike in inflation too seriously. Let's see if it is the same in a year (betcha it's down.)

It probably will be down. And, it won't mean a thing unless Biden and the Dems start talking seriously about why the Democratic party has had and always will have the better economic policies. Which is amply demonstrable.

You know who was the best guy when it came to explaining why Democrats are better at economic policy than Republicans? Former treasury secretary Timothy Geithner, that's who!

Trump almost won the 2020 presidential election. That is a fact. Deal with it, my friend. :)

And, my note about the bad poll numbers for Biden Re. his handling of the economy was to point out that this sort of thing is nothing new. Mostly because Dems, in general and Biden, in particular never talk about the Republican cult of economic failure or push back in any substantial way on the horribly misguided notion that Republicans have always been the better economic stewards for a huge majority of Americans.

History has shown time and again that the only thing Republican administrations are good for is leaving economic messes on an order of magnitude similar to that of the Augean Stables while Democratic administrations clean them up.

My point was simply that Team Biden need to push back forcefully and NOW on these chronically bad economic polls or expect to lose big in the midterms.

Any polling 12 months ahead of the Midterms is to be taken with a boulder of salt. So much is going to happen between now and then, and nobody's going to even remember that Joe was not polling well back in 2021.

I disagree. Trump was so awful -- and the country was so sick of him that 80 million Americans voted for Joe Effing Biden(!) I saw a poll that said 70% (or 56 million) were specifically voting against Trump. Tuna fish sandwich would have done just as well.

Biden needs to fight back hard on that. The facts are on his side, for whatever that is worth.

I would even argue, contrary to popular belief, that only a candidate of the high caliber of someone like Joe Biden could have beaten Trump.

Got news for you, Michale, Trump would have lost running against "a tuna fish sandwich" as that's how bad he sucked as President.

Not only does that assume facts not in evidence, it ignores just how close the 2020 presidential election actually was.

Assumes facts not in evidence. And, in any event, it is an opinion that I don't subscribe to.

Indeed.

And yeth, you're right.

Yup, as much as a lot of Muricans don't care for tuna fish, said tuna fish sandwich would've still beat effing Trump. I mean, Michale, that's how bad Trump sucked.

You lost your 2020 bets bigly, so did you pay off your bets with me and what's his name?

Or have you been another typical Repug, all talk and no walk?

Naw, neither Joe nor Nancy/Chuck deserved complete credit for this legislation. How could this be anything less than a group effort?

Chris, you were wrong to give so much credit for the BBB bill to Biden last Friday. By all accounts it was Nancy who got this done.

You think Nancy got it done all by herself? Does she know the senate better than the president? I think you're wrong to give Nancy all of the credit. ;)

Irrespective of how many votes are cast for each party, the scotus has ruled that partisan gerrymandering is constitutional, so a gop win is a foregone conclusion.
