The current administration has 36% approval. People wanted it fired. Why did Dems choose a top figure from this massively unpopular admin to be their nominee? Anyone with a prayer of winning would have had to distance themselves from the President massively.
As VP, I don't think Kamala could have distanced herself enough to win, yet she didn't even try...
Silence, Republican (and possible sock)
Let's be honest, is he wrong?
For the next four years, any bad faith troll who voted to re-elect the worst president of all time doesn't get to whine or lecture anybody about the previous administration.
This was his error and will be his reckoning.
Trump won. Fighting as if the last war never ended sounds like a great way to lose the next one.
It worked for Trump. It worked for his idol, Jackson. It worked for Cleveland. It worked for Reagan. And on some level it worked for Biden and Nixon and Bush Jr.
It's actually striking how similar Trump and Jackson are.
I was reading about Jackson's 1828 campaign earlier. The theme of the campaign was a personality cult around Jackson and a JQA smear campaign. It had little to do with actual policy. Jackson touted a connection to Jefferson, who was by then a party icon and had an earlier relationship with him, but who reportedly lambasted Jackson in private as dangerous and a threat to the country's constitutional order despite their ideological similarities. Sounds similar to how Reagan would have reacted to Trump in 2024.
And, of course.... unlikable VP who stands to inherits the economic disaster his predecessor creates.
