Make no mistake: the Democrat Party is terrified by the prospect of Biden seeking reelection.<\/p>\n<p>Bottom line: \u201cIt\u2019s pretty clear that the left is organizing to dump Joe Biden.\u201d So concludes political commentator and policy scholar, Powerline\u2019s Steven Hayward. In an analysis titled <em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.powerlineblog.com\/archives\/2022\/07\/the-pincer-movement-to-dump-biden-taking-shape.php\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Pincer Movement to Dump Biden Taking Place<\/a>,<\/em> Hayward went bottom-line from start to finish.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>It\u2019s pretty clear that the left is organizing to dump Joe Biden when it becomes evident that he\u2019s a certain loser in 2024. Rather than waiting for a Ted Kennedy-like figure to challenge him in the 2024 primaries, which would likely doom Democrats to certain defeat, the left will need to push him out early, and clear the calendar for one or more Democrats to organize a serious presidential campaign.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Hang on. The Democrats (pundit checks notes) do not have a \u201cTed Kennedy-like figure\u201d to challenge Biden. Worse, the Democrats don\u2019t exactly have a deep bench, these days. And as noted by Hayward, \u201cIt goes without saying that the Democratic Party intelligentsia knows Kamala Harris is a <a href=\"https:\/\/redstate.com\/nick-arama\/2022\/07\/03\/dems-reveal-they-dont-want-kamala-in-2024-while-she-gaffes-and-laughs-about-gas-prices-n588077\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">hopeless candidate<\/a>.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Think about it through the eyes of a Democrat. I know: terrifying thought. Everywhere one looks, the evidence is overwhelming that Biden is <a href=\"https:\/\/redstate.com\/mike_miller\/2021\/08\/23\/fox-news-host-says-it-jill-biden-failed-the-country-by-not-stopping-mentally-frail-joe-from-running-for-president-n431683\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">cognitively lost on a daily basis<\/a>, with nearly every <a href=\"https:\/\/redstate.com\/nick-arama\/2022\/07\/02\/bidens-numbers-hit-another-all-time-low-while-he-finds-a-new-target-to-blame-for-gas-prices-n587901\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">new poll<\/a> painting an ever-bleaker picture. Quite the pickle, isn\u2019t it? Hey, play stupid games; win stupid prizes.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Hayward believes the Democrat \u201cpincer movement\u201d has three parts.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>First<\/strong>, \u201cWe can expect a steady drumbeat of [left-leaning] media stories,\u201d predicts Hayward, such as the latest from so-called mainstream political reporter Ronald Brownstein, whose latest op-ed, <em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.msn.com\/en-us\/news\/politics\/is-biden-a-man-out-of-time\/ar-AAZ33Ly\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Is Biden a Man Out of Time?<\/a><\/em>, makes clear that the media and the Democrat base remain just as clueless as Biden \u2014 wishing he would be <em>even more<\/em> radically leftist.<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019m no larger-than-life \u201cvery stable genius\u201d Republican with a \u201cvery, very, big brain\u201d and \u201cgood words,\u201d (I couldn\u2019t resist) but even<em> I<\/em> find it incredible that the Democrat state media and the socialist radicals within the Democrat Party fail to see that the majority of American adults overwhelmingly reject their so-called \u201cprogressive\u201d push to destroy America and its valued institutions on as many fronts as possible.<\/p>\n<p>In addition to the direct \u201creporting\u201d about Biden\u2019s problems, Hayward suggests there will be an increasing number of indirect attacks:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>There will be indirect attacks about general failures of the administration. This week <em>Politico<\/em>\u00a0ran a\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.politico.com\/newsletters\/west-wing-playbook\/2022\/06\/29\/karines-tough-debut-00043125\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">long piece<\/a>\u00a0about what a terrible press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre is turning out to be. My theory is that she was picked to make Kamala Harris look good by comparison, but her failure at the job is so conspicuous that it can\u2019t be papered over.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Speaking of Karine Jean-Pierre, as I previously suggested, she is so miserable at her job she makes Jen Psaki look like Dana Perino under George W. Bush. Perfect example: KJP recently <a href=\"https:\/\/redstate.com\/mike_miller\/2022\/06\/14\/stunned-karine-jean-pierre-laughs-off-cnn-question-about-bidens-stamina-and-mental-acuity-n578373\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">laughed off<\/a> a question from CNN host Don Lemon about Biden\u2019s stamina and declining mental acuity.<\/p>\n<p>The <strong>second<\/strong> <strong>part<\/strong> of the pincer movement, says Hayward, will be as I suggested in my opening paragraph: Democrat Party insiders will start publicly dumping on Biden. Last week it was David Axelrod, the architect of Barack Obama\u2019s rise to power. In an appearance on CNN, <a href=\"https:\/\/redstate.com\/bobhoge\/2022\/07\/01\/former-top-obama-advisor-david-axelrod-shreds-biden-says-hes-not-in-command-n587625\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Axelrod said<\/a> \u201cThere is this sense that things are kind of out of control and he\u2019s not in command.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOut of control\u201d? Definitely. \u201cKind of\u201d? Hardly. And we <em>all know<\/em> what \u201cnot in command\u201d means.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Third<\/strong>, believes Hayward, as I have previously written, it won\u2019t just be <em>conservative writers<\/em> who pull hamstrings rushing to \u201creport\u201d on Biden\u2019s latest poll disaster.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>Look for the pace of Bad-News-for-Biden polls to pick up in frequency and intensity. It becomes a self-reinforcing feedback loop for party insiders like Axelrod and the media alike: every new poll gives them the opportunity to provide \u201canalysis\u201d that all points in the same direction.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Incidentally, the practice of running or commissioning a poll and then reporting the results as \u201cnews\u201d is hardly new. Hayward pointed to the late historian <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Daniel_J._Boorstin\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Daniel Boorstin<\/a>, who called the practice a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nku.edu\/~turney\/prclass\/readings\/events.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">pseudo-event<\/a>, the definition of which is \u201cnot spontaneous; planted primarily, but not always exclusively, for the purpose of being reported or reproduced.\u201d Bingo.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The bottom line:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>As to the Democrat Party\u2019s <em>Biden problem<\/em>, it could be clearer that the Republicans will have a golden opportunity to reclaim the White House in 2024.<\/p>\n<p>While I have an uneasy feeling that Republican voters will snatch defeat from the jaws of victory, I\u2019m also encouraged by the reality that an increasing number of conservatives continue to wake the hell up.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As a growing number of Democrat politicians openly distance themselves from Joe Biden, reports continue to surface of a behind-the-scenes plan to dump the most inept president in history well<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":1540627,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1540499","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1540499","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1540499"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1540499\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1540627"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1540499"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1540499"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1540499"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
