He won his day job 2 years ago by NOT being Capt. Choas…..
The other guy is STILL at it….Actually is Worse….
The media might be selling questions about President Biden’s age….
But when push comes to shove with voters?
They’ll vote FOR Joe Biden…..
“Whatever the step above panicked is, that is what I feel about Trump,” said Felicia, a registered Democrat.
The results of two focus groups conducted for The Washington Post by research firms Engagious and Sago echoed research that Democratic strategists have been doing in recent months in preparation for the 2024 presidential campaign. Public polling has shown clear majorities of the American people — including many Democratic-leaning voters — are concerned about Biden’s health and do not want him to run again. But in both focus groups and polling, concerns about another Trump presidency are even greater, leaving Biden in a much better position if the two men meet in a rematch.
The results suggest the possibility of a frustrating and dispiriting election season for many Americans who, like the participants in The Post groups, do not want to see either of the front-runners for the Democratic and Republican nominations as their next president. The participants in the focus groups included eight independents, four Democrats and three Republicans from Pennsylvania, Georgia, Arizona and Wisconsin, who were screened for participation by their 2016 vote for Trump and 2020 vote for Biden. Nine of the participants were White, four were Black and two were Asian American.
Voters who switched support from Trump in 2016 to Biden in 2020 made up a major part of the Democrat’s victory. According to the American National Election Studies survey, 3.4 percent of voters in both elections belonged to that group, compared to 1.8 percent who switched from supporting Hillary [Clinton] in 2016 to Trump in 2020. Biden won the national popular vote by 4.5 percentage points, compared to Clinton’s 2.1 point edge over Trump….

“Those two candidates alone were not good to vote for,” said Brittney, 36, a Georgia Republican who works in commercial real estate. “So we need some type of variety. We need different perspectives.”
The voters said they had supported Trump in 2016 because they had wanted a change or were wary of the Democratic candidate in that race. “I didn’t particularly like Donald Trump, but I guess I disliked Hillary Clinton more,” explained Scott, 55, from Wisconsin, who works for a college.
Seven years later, most no longer gave the Republican the benefit of the doubt, criticizing his character, his social media use and bringing up the criminal investigations into his conduct. All participants said that they wished Trump was not running again. The words this group of voters reserved for Trump tended to be far more negative than Biden. Asked how they would feel if the former president was reelected, voters used words like “nervous,” “scared,” “shocked,” “sick,” and “horrified.”
Scott said another Trump term would make him “feel like I was living in Nazi Germany.”….
Could Ron DeSantis be digging himself in a hole in HIS OWN state?
Could Biden and Democrats benefit from Trump beating down the Florida Republican Governor who seems to not want to leave one of the state’s biggest business’s and employers alone?
The Biden campaign has quietly started putting campaign cash and efforts into Florida – and will decide in the coming months whether to put more – as it gauges the president’s chances of reversing the reddening of a state he lost by a wider-than-expected margin in 2020.
A dozen top Biden and Democratic officials, several of whom asked not speak by name in order to discuss internal plans, told CNN they’re raring to dig in on DeSantis’ championing of abortion restrictions, his ongoing fight with Disney stemming from the company’s opposition to what critics have called the “Don’t Say Gay” law, his lifting of concealed weapons permitting, his crackdown on unlawful immigration and his consistent railing over “woke” politics.
It’s an insurance policy strategy for a campaign that has so far almost exclusively focused on Biden as the alternative to Trump, who continues to lead Republican primary polls and whom DeSantis has already spent months trying to knock out of the way.
And it comes as Biden advisers push back on ongoing criticism from Florida Democrats that they flubbed their chance last year to damage DeSantis early by not investing much energy or money against him as he ran for reelection, racking up a whopping 19-point victory and tens of millions in campaign funds, likely now headed to a supportive super PAC….
