Politico: What an unprecedented Biden ad blitz says about his reelection fight

The cavalry is arriving extraordinarily early for President Joe Biden.

With poll after brutal poll showing the president in danger of losing a likely rematch with former President Donald Trump, his campaign is getting an unusual boost from a super PAC spending millions of dollars to resuscitate public opinion of him in major battlegrounds.

The ads are striking for both their timing and their content.

The election is still 423 days away, and Biden and an affiliate of his chief super PAC are already running TV ads in nearly every major battleground state — far earlier than normal for a presidential election. And instead of going on the attack, as super PACs usually do, the ads are trying to boost Biden’s image.

I am entirely prepared to not trust The Other Biden, or Biden Replacement, either.

Oversight Chairman Comer: We Have The Votes To Launch Biden Impeachment Inquiry This Month

"I think that the House will vote in September. Now, this is all up to Kevin McCarthy, but he and I've had several conversations. I know Jim Jordan has spoken with him many times as well. I would predict that in the middle of September, we have a vote."

A Purge could be called. Maybe Witch Trials. Enforced mandatory gender surgery. The EcoHealth Alliance could come through with a brand new COVID-2023. Surveillance equipment, in every home, could be arbitrarily switched on for random families, individuals around the nation, and broadcast live on social media.

Turns out that when you don't have a pandemic to distract people with fear and they can see how beyond messed up literally everything is on your watch, they don't very highly of Robert L Peters.

I found this part of the article particularly interesting:

I mean, look at their favorability numbers. They're the same, 35 percent of Americans have a favorable view of Joe Biden. 35 percent of Americans in this poll, have a favorable view of Donald Trump.

That's sure different from September 2020, when I did this analysis:

I compared 2016 and 2020 polling. I think Biden is in pretty good shape — today.

Two years ago, Biden had net positive favorability compared to Trump's negative favorability. But now they're tied.

So what changed? I think in 2020 voters remembered that 2012 VP debate in which Biden clobbered Paul Ryan with snappy comebacks and a winning smile. But now voters see that Biden is a doddering old fart with severe dementia.

So Democrats — is this really the best you can do?

He won't be running in 2024, but they don't want to admit it so there isn't as much time for their next Anointed One to be savaged.

It's going to be a behind the scenes slug-fest between Hillary and Newsome.

I think the four years of gas lighting people they are too stupid to understand they are doing great while Biden slides into senility cumulatively caught up to the Biden Admin. They did a masterful job of hiding Biden's incompetence. However they just couldn't keep the show together long enough to get to a second term without even the disinterested noticing how badly Biden is doing.

... without even the disinterested noticing how badly Biden is doing.

Even politically-naïve people notice the price of gasoline, food, housing, cars, and everything else.

They're the same

CNN said that about any comparison of Trump and Biden?

Isn't that one of the signs?

Nobody in Washington gives a shit what the people think about what they're doing. There's a pretty good chance they'll run Biden in '24, and if they do, he will win. I mean, he will 'win'.

He'll never survive another year. And they know it.

Contingency plans are being made quietly, and it's not Kamala.

Have you seen Weekend at Bernie's?

I'm still giving it 50/50 odds. That they run him again.

I agree, they are so invested in their Ukraine project that they believe they can crawl over broken glass and drag Biden's corpse over the finish line. Same thing they do with Pelosi, Fetterman, McConnell, Feinstein and all the other nursing home patients.

Most Democratic voters hope for change at the top of the ticket and Americans don't take the president [at] his word when he talks about his son Hunter.

There is deep rooted dissatisfaction with the incumbent and the direction he is taking the country. There are even deeper doubts about if Mr. Biden is up to the job again.

This is setting off alarm bells inside the Biden campaign in the White House. Overall, his approval rating is down now at 39 percent approved, so more than six in 10 Americans disapprove of the job he's doing. And you see he's been hovering here for a little bit, Dana, since the spring.

And we asked this open-ended question of Democrats and Democratic leaners. What is your biggest concern about a Biden candidacy? It's not even close, Dana. 49 percent say it's his age, 7 percent mental sharpness, 7 percent health ability to do the job.

(Not that he seems hellbent on starting WWIII or is sending money to Ukraine instead of Hawaii?)

Most Democratic voters hope for change at the top of the ticket...

But they'll vote against the Republican nominee. Most Democratic voters hope their owners blue team beats the red team, so they can keep hope alive by hoping that their votes mean something more than legitimizing the system they're guaranteed to lose with, no matter which of their owners parties are assigned the task of managing their expectations for the next four to eight years.

We don't win shit by losing to the "lesser" evil in order to stop the greater one. Our owners wouldn't have bought our former government to protect themselves with if the democratic process wasn't a threat to their business model.

At some point, despite the never ending barrage of FUD disseminated by our owners fear mongering media mouthpieces, you would think people would recognize it for what it is, and start asking themselves, and each other, why our government is hell bent on "othering" every segment of what passes for society in these Corporate States of America, and who that "othering" benefits besides the people behind the curtain of government they hide behind.

Thing is, when I talk with human beings who inhabit the actual meatspace outside the digital world of shills and bots, very few people have any faith and trust in our corrupted system, and even fewer believe their votes are worth the millions spent to harvest them when it comes down to the well being of the average citizen.

Most people I've talked to don't see the utility of wasting their time with the process any longer.

Which makes me wonder if these people are full of shit, or mail in ballots are the new golden egg our owners can buy a few more selection cycles with.

But people are at a loss for what to do about the whole situation, because every person elected that's shown even a modicum of leadership ability has either turned around to lick our owners asses, or met with an untimely death.

It is disheartening, for sure. The thing that keeps me in the game is knowing that they want us to give up.

Interesting results: Trump is +1, DeSantito is tied, Pence, Scott, and Christie all lead by two. Nikki Haley leads by 6 — why? The only candidate that Biden leads is Ramaswamy, and only by 1.

She's the Deep State favorite but they elevated DeSantis because she wasn't polling high enough. Now that his campaign is tanking, they're going back to their original choice.

Nikki Haley leads by 6 — why

Nikki Haley leads by 6 — why?

Hmm, crosstabs don't show more crossover among Dems and Dem-leaners (Christie beats her by a point there) though I'd class her as the biggest neocon on the GOP side. It looks like she's drawing greater support from white college grads and women than the other candidates.

It will be interesting to see if Nikki Haley's performance is an anomaly or is confirmed by future polls. And then to see if the GOP nominates her instead of Trump.

The media hasn't found their angle to slag her campaign yet, but they will.

Well, they can't come across as sexist or racist. I say go after her for excessive silly gestures ☝️

What is that supposed to be, like a half-Nixon? At least Ramaswamy does the real thing.

[–]CaelianPost No Toasties 1 insightful - 2 fun1 insightful - 1 fun2 insightful - 2 fun -  (0 children)

I think she's making a point. Actually, two points.

Here, have some "air quotes" 😺
