It\u2019s reality<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>In five months, 13 Democratic senators and 191 Democratic representatives face their angry constituents at the ballot box. Some of them likely wonder why they didn\u2019t join the 32 Dems opting for retirement instead.<\/p>\n<p>The midterms are looking rough for Team Donkey. Very rough. And most of the troubles come straight from the top. While President Biden isn\u2019t up for reelection this year, he\u2019ll likely be responsible for ending a lot of careers this November.<\/p>\n<p>Inflation is soaring, economists are warning of a recession, and moms still can\u2019t find baby formula. Meanwhile, Biden is baffled about why voters are so upset with him.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p>His polling numbers have hit their lowest point in his presidency, with just 40% of voters approving of his performance, according to the RealClearPolitics average. And it could get worse; the Reuters\/Ipsos poll has him at 36%.<\/p>\n<p>An anonymous tipster compared Biden\u2019s polls to the last guy. \u201cHe\u2019s now lower than Trump, and he\u2019s really twisted about it,\u201d the person close to the White House said.<\/p>\n<p>This tidbit and many others were shared in a Tuesday NBC News report about a \u201cWhite House adrift.\u201d The story casts Biden as a victim of bad circumstances but, reading between the lines, it shows that the president brought most of this on himself.<\/p>\n<p>Biden is &#8216;mystified&#8217; why voters are upset?<\/p>\n<p>Apparently, Biden is unhappy that whenever he wanders off script and blurts out an odd statement, his staff issues a press release insisting he meant the exact opposite. One White House official retorted, \u201cWe don\u2019t say anything that the president doesn\u2019t want us to say.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>I can\u2019t help but sympathize with staffers expected to clean up the gaffes that have haunted Biden his entire career.<\/p>\n<p>Biden also vents that he\u2019s \u201cnot getting credit from Americans\u201d and \u201cdoesn\u2019t think enough Democrats go on television to defend him.\u201d And he\u2019s \u201cmystified\u201d that his polls numbers are stuck at or below Trump levels.<\/p>\n<p>An average gas price of $4.67 per gallon will do that. And that\u2019s 30 cents lower than the average price in Arizona.<\/p>\n<p>Spokesperson Jen Psaki isn\u2019t the only Democrat jumping ship. Now there\u2019s an exodus of Black staffers because of \u201clittle support from their superiors and fewer chances for promotion.\u201d Chief of Staff Ron Klain is also said to be eyeing the exits.<\/p>\n<p>Biden set aside June as the month he\u2019ll declare how great the economy is doing. Hey, at least unemployment is headed in the right direction. But it didn\u2019t help that his Treasury secretary, Janet Yellen, admitted on Tuesday that she failed last year when she claimed inflation was \u201ca small risk,\u201d \u201cmanageable\u201d and \u201cnot a problem.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>If Democrats don&#8217;t change their product, they&#8217;ll lose<br \/>\nCapitol Hill Democrats are right to be nervous. Some have started lashing out at their party\u2019s leader in public.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf I sound frustrated, it\u2019s because I hear from my constituents,\u201d Rep. Stephanie Murphy, D-Fla., said. \u201cThey\u2019re struggling. This is not a time for political games. It\u2019s not the time for finding bogeymen.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Trump&#8217;s endorsement didn&#8217;t doom Mark Brnovich. He did that on his own<br \/>\nPart of the struggle consists in Biden\u2019s analysis of why he\u2019s sinking so far, so fast. His administration repeatedly claims that it\u2019s all just a messaging problem. It\u2019s not messaging; it\u2019s reality.<\/p>\n<p>The president\u2019s latest great idea was calling the GOP the \u201cUltra MAGA\u201d party \u2026 only to have laughing Republicans print and buy T-shirts bearing the awkward phrase.<\/p>\n<p>If dogs won\u2019t eat the dog food you\u2019re selling, a new slogan won\u2019t fix the problem. You need to change your product.<\/p>\n<p>In politics, good policy results are always the best messaging. If Democrats can\u2019t deliver a better product in the next five months, get ready to spend the next two years in the minority.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It really doesn&#8217;t take much for SloJoe to be &#8216;baffled&#8217; does it?
