CAL THOMAS COMMENTARY JUNE 13, 2024
ARE WE FACING A RED WAVE IN THE FALL ELECTION? THE SIGNS SEEM TO POINT TO ONE, BUT SO DID THE SIGNS FOUR YEARS AGO WHEN REPUBLICANS BARELY WON A HOUSE MAJORITY, LOST THE SENATE AND THE WHITE HOUSE.
YES, DEMOCRATS HAVE MORE SEATS TO DEFEND THAN REPUBLICANS THIS YEAR. YES, THE ECONOMY STINKS. YES, INFLATION, HIGH FOOD AND GAS PRICES REMAIN HIGH. SPEAKER MIKE JOHNSON PREDICTS A LARGE WIN FOR REPUBLICANS IN ALL THREE BRANCHES OF GOVERNMENT, BUT THAT’S WHAT POLITICIANS ALWAYS SAY AND THEY ARE NOT ALWAYS RIGHT.
PRESIDENT BIDEN’S APPROVAL IS AT 37 PERCENT, THE LOWEST IT HAS EVER BEEN AND ON A PAR WITH TWO OTHER RECENT ONE TERM PRESIDENTS – GEORGE H.W. BUSH AND JIMMY CARTER. BIDEN’S COGNITION CONTINUES TO DECLINE. HE SLURS HIS WORDS MORE FREQUENTLY AND OFTEN STARES INTO SPACE, SEEMINGLY UNAWARE OF WHERE HE IS. THIS IS NOT A GOOD MODEL FOR FACING OUR ENEMIES.
SOME ARE NOW MORE LOUDLY SUGGESTING HE DECLINE TO RUN AGAIN. THE PROBLEMS INVOLVING HUNTER BIDEN WOULD BE A GOOD EXCUSE AND HE DID PROMISE TO BE A TRANSITIONAL PRESIDENT. I DON’T THINK HE WILL WITHDRAW, BUT AS USUAL IN A POLITICAL YEAR, ANYTHING COULD HAPPEN. I’M CAL THOMAS
