The media and pollsters haven't learned. It may just kill us all.

27. I think our biggest concern is that despite everything, half the country is still willing to give him a second chance.

If 1/6 didn't disqualify him, then what you're writing doesn't matter.

The truth is that Biden's age is only an issue because people are not happy with the state of the country. Inflation, gas prices, housing, a shaky foreign arena with Russia and the Middle East only seem to feed into that narrative: he's too old to handle the responsibilities of the job.

Is it fair? No. But it's not not unique.

If inflation never spiked, gas prices never ballooned, there was no Russian invasion of Ukraine and Israel wasn't attacked on 1/6, Biden's age probably wouldn't be an issue and Trump's crimes would be a bit more disqualifying.

But people are willing to overlook the criminality of his administration just as long as their pocket books are doing well. And for millions of Americans, they believe things were better under his leadership.

It sucks but Americans vote with their pocket book.

Biden has to figure out a way to show Americans are better economically with him as president because at least for 40% don't care if Trump is a crook. He's a crook who gets things done in their eyes.

Worse, there are people I know who HATE Trump, won't vote for him, didn't in 2016 ir 2020 but are so turned off by what is happening in Gaza that they've flat-out told me that they won't vote Biden and if that means Trump wins? Oh well. Both are awful on Gaza but at least under Trump they could afford rent.

The real enemy is the ignorance of the average voter. I asked what Trump specifically did that made rent affordable and they point to the rental pause in 2020. Despite my pointing out that was due to a massive pandemic, they don't care.
