Biden battles Trump for ‘Soul of Nation’ because Democrats can’t run on his failed policies

Biden battles Trump for ‘Soul of Nation’ because Democrats can’t run on his failed policies

Liz Peek Articles

Donald Trump is the monster hiding under the bed. 

Because Democrats can’t think of much good to say about Joe Biden, they are casting the midterm elections as a referendum …not on their president, but instead, on Donald Trump. Who can blame them?

With eight weeks to go, President Joe Biden’s approval ratings, while slightly improved, are still dismal. In fact, they are about where Trump’s were at this point in his presidency. Since Biden has delivered high inflation, soaring crime, a collapsed border and a looming recession, he cannot campaign for Democrats on his record. As a result, has pivoted to attacking Trump and the tens of millions he calls “MAGA Republicans.” 

Biden calls this confrontation a “battle for the soul of this nation.”  

He calls Trump (and his supporters) extreme, and a threat to Democracy. He imbues the former president not only with evil intentions but immense super powers. 

It’s worth noting that despite the demagoguery, Biden rightfully occupies the Oval Office, elections are proceeding apace and, importantly, Republican voters have moved on from Trump. In a recent Pew survey, only 39% of likely GOP voters say Trump should run for president in 2024.

In fact, Trump’s standing within the GOP has been steadily declining, as voters got fed up with his wrong-headed fixation on the 2020 election, and self-aggrandizement. His approval from Republicans was slipping until the Mar-a-Lago raid, which fired up his base and put him back on center stage. Perhaps that was the point.

Democrats cheer on Biden’s battle, which is not being waged against the moral decline of our nation — against the rise in lawlessness, vanishing work ethic or the shirking of personal responsibility. It is not a battle against the ugly political divides and lost tolerance that have undermined our civility.

Instead, the battle for the soul of the nation is 100% aimed at obliterating former President Donald J. Trump, and eliminating his every policy.

Ironically, it is the waging of that war that has undermined Biden’s presidency. Trump’s policies, simply stated, were successful. Biden’s are not.

Columnist David Ignatius, writing in the Washington Post, is so excited about Biden’s anti-Trump fervor that he has proclaimed it his legacy: “He is the person who moved decisively to stop Donald Trump.” 

Biden, Ignatius explains, not only stopped Trump at the ballot box, but also “through his administration’s steady, unblinking application of the rule of law.”

That is a startling claim. The Biden White House has broken more laws than I can count. The Supreme Court has batted down White House efforts to rescind President Trump’s Remain in Mexico provision, its mandate requiring that large companies demand worker vaccinations, its effort to regulate greenhouse emissions via the EPA and a lower court judge struck down Biden’s moratorium on oil and gas leasing.

Most likely, the courts will rule Biden’s student loan handout is unlawful, as well.

But, of course, what really excites Ignatius is Biden’s persistent prosecution of Donald Trump. The hounding of the former president culminated in the recent raid of his residence at Mar-a-Lago, which appeared to many a theatrical and unnecessary political caper. 

It also appears a distinctly unsteady application of the law. Any fair-minded observer will conclude that the rules that allowed Hillary Clinton to store her personal emails, which included classified information, on a secret server in her home, constructed for the sole purpose of avoiding public scrutiny, and that let her illegally destroy communication devices, will agree that charging Trump for possession of classified documents would be a grossly unequal application of justice. 

And, we haven’t even gotten to the non-investigation into Hunter Biden’s shady business deals with companies linked to the Chinese Communist Party and other questionable activities in Ukraine and Russia. Or Joe Biden’s involvement with those sketchy affairs. 

Surely a steady application of the rule of law would not allow FBI agent Timothy Thibault to shut down the investigation into Hunter’s nefarious laptop. A steady application of the rule of law would not have whistleblowers lining up to report political bias within the FBI – bias which has led to ongoing probes of former President Trump. 

For Ignatius and other Democrats, nothing tops defeating Trump, even if it means permanently scarring and dividing the nation. That is Ignatius’ excuse for Biden’s abusive speech in Philadelphia, in which he excoriated Trump supporters. 

The Post columnist explains that ignoring Trump didn’t work as Biden hoped it would, so the president had to turn vicious. Hilariously, Ignatius recalls that in Biden’s inaugural speech “he used the word “unity” eight times… And he seemed to understand his place in the American story, replacing Trump’s “carnage” with something decent.”

That includes, apparently, going after Trump and his followers, insulting tens of millions as “quasi-fascists.”  

Ignatius is quite cheered that Biden’s polling has improved, but he doesn’t explain why Biden’s approval was so lousy in the first place.

Biden is a failed president exactly because he made it his mission to undo everything that Trump did. On the issues voters care most about, Trump had the right policies. Policies that worked.   

Republicans are playing defense and allowing Democrats to win with this campaign against Donald Trump. Despite nearly 70% of the country believing we’re on the wrong track, Democrats’ prospects have improved. 

Biden said in Philadelphia that Donald Trump and MAGA Republicans “represent an extremism that threatens the very foundations of our Republic.”

Republicans need to remind voters what it is that Biden considers “extreme.” That Biden thinks a secure border, safe streets, affordable energy, stable prices, a growing economy, states’ rights and parental involvement in our children’s education are “extreme” ideas. They need to tell voters that the so-called MAGA policies transcend Donald Trump, and constitute the bedrock of sensible ideas that work for America.

They need to make the midterms a referendum on Joe Biden. That’s an easy win.

Don't you know that the global supply chain story is done on purpose for there to be empty shelves at the grocery stores and what not to screw with the public. This is done by the world economic Forum with the likes of Klaus Schwab Bill Gates and George Soros and their ilk

YOU are the delusional personality, dear. Sticking it against the US to please 🖕trump and putin. Disgusting anti American.

Maybe Liz you would support some immigration reform , you bitch about not having enough servers in your entitled selfish world , oh and you are against mask wearing too , how trumpian of you, the pandemic is all a hoax to you , just dont get sick out there might not be any hospital beds for you . The drs and nurses are sick and tired of taking care of anti mask anti vax selfish repubs Go claim your Darwin Award .

Nope

No Trump, No Trump Doctrine

There's a growing rumble, by the minute, from people all over the planet who are suddenly missing Trump's policies, not necessarily Trump.

First, Trump's policies, domestic and foreign, were clear and common-sense driven which is anathema to the Swamp control freaks who thrive on complication and confusion to mask their real agendas and who they're really working for.

Second, the hypocrites who are now lamenting Trump's policies are the same, domestic and foreign, who fought Trump every inch of the way to prevent the implementation of policies that clearly worked.

Third, without Trump the fighter, no Trump policies would have ever seen the light of day.

And without what is now collectively the Trump Doctrine, what clear metric would we have to truly understand the depth and devastation of the Biden/Swamp debacle?

Yes I am

America was NEVER in better shape than when President Trump was in office .. we need him NOW

When the Fed says it finds 2% inflation desirable, it is admitting that it seeks to embezzle HALF of Americans' purchasing power every 35 years, just enough embezzling to not attract too much attention! Phase out the Fed and its DEBT-BASED FIAT system, and restore the CONSTITUTIONAL monetary system based on "gold and silver Coin."

You are a dishonest traitor like Trump. You know Pence and Biden cooperated with the DOJ while Trump lied and hid and shared top secret documents that put American military lives in danger. You should be ashamed of yourself. God sees you and what you are doing.

Moron

Stupid doesn't describe Liz Peek well enough. No one knows who you are so whenever you troll your way onto some useless FOX program, you utter absurd TDS infected nonsense. Stay smart Mensa. I will never have you on my radio talk show.

how soon some forget. after herschel loses- PRES TRUMP got these jobs done- cheap gas. no soldier deaths the last 18 months of afghan when he was in office. He cut taxes. the largest in America's history. cut regulations. got us out of the Iran deal. put the american embassy in jerusalem. took it to the terrorists. such as soleimani, and al-baghdadi. built the wall on our southern border on 350 miles of our southern border. REAL MEDIAN household income grew to $68,703 in 2019, an impressive 6.8% increase over 2018. While the overall growth rate was 6.8%, real median income grew by an even greater 7.9% for Black Americans, 7.1% for Hispanic Americans, and 10.6% for Asian Americans. All record highs as were the new income levels for each of these groups. Joe's handlers are heading us to the "misery index" purposely. Did I say cheap gas? Please list for me what Joe's handlers have done for you? be the first to answer my question. LOL

Progressives got hammered on Election Day- but that was only the latest big defeat. What does this mean for Dems? Can Joe pivot? (spoiler-probably not)

Liz Peek: Progressives' drubbing opens door to (unlikely) Biden pivot, changing of the guard

They may not know it yet, but the ultra-liberal cabal that has choked Democrat politics and humiliated spineless party leaders like House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., has lost its mojo.

Joe Biden wanted to be an historic president- and he has done that. Worst ratings slide of any president since WWII.
He (or whoever is running WH) doesn’t care about voters’ top issues – instead Team Biden obsessing about climate change, gender and race.
No wonder he’s in trouble!

Liz Peek: Biden vs. Americans – his priorities, like climate change, ignore top worries of most voters

Voters are worried about inflation, jobs, crime, education and our open border, while the Biden White House is laser-focused on climate change, transgender rights, racism and reducing inequality.

The great days turned to very bad days in less than a year.
Congress needs a flip to GOP next year to stop the craziness

Climate change is important.
The GOP may not care about it now, but their children will.
He is trying to get an infrastructure bill through.
He has had issues with Afghanistan, but what else could he do
The people who are taking over Afghanistan were released by the previous administration.
I am sure that Biden is not perfect but he is better than Trump.

Duuuuuh President Trump lost the election you are such a dummy he got over 95 million the other yo-yo got about 45 million the rest was fake you're a disgrace. Www.magapill.com

worst ratings only from a side thats ignorant to the truth. the effects of coming off a pandemic with oil companies profitting off the pumps in order to pay their shareholders back from profits lost. inflation effects the entire world but of course your base doesnt pull their heads out their asses for one second to look around and use common sense. keep spreading bullshit and weakening our country til it no longer functions as a democracy….bc i see through your fake Christian patriotic pow wows. you are the opposite of ehat you claim and you are the definition of what you claim your rivals are. deflection, projection, hypocrisy. 3 words that sum you up

Your bias is ridiculous. Makes you a bad writer. Btw avg teacher pay is way above 31000. Sensationalize much?
