#374: But... Can They Both Win?
....................
Republicans: Get Real. Here's three reasons for returning to the GOP of yore:
* By 2024, voters will want a young candidate, rather than yet another elder gent approaching his 80s. Might as well face it, America's ex is old news.
* Which means it's time to end the bad-mouthing and head for the middle of the road. Otherwise, sorry but there just aren't enough old angry-guy voters to win.
* Even in the heat of post-January 6th soul-searching there are those in the media who're eager to embrace a conservative alternative. And, who're most Republicans going to vote for? A Democrat? Unlikelihood.
Democrats: Don't Change. You're on track--it just doesn't seem like it. Here's why:
* The Republicans will blow their current lead. That's because they won't take my advice. They'll continue following a leader who's only looking out for old #1--a recipe for disaster, as we saw on January 6th.
* Just explain what the agenda for '22 will be: a Reconciliation bill to reduce the deficit and bring down inflation. Cut corporate welfare. Be bold fighting high prices (example: use strategic oil reserve).
* Also, describe what's in store, post-'22, if voters elect another two Dems (Senate) while keeping a House majority: the remaining items on Biden's agenda
- Paid Family Leave
- Medicare coverage for Vision and Dental
- States Rights For Non-Lethal Recreational Drugs (not part of agenda, but a likely candidate)
- Free Community College
- Pay fors: items axed by Sinemanchin, like corporate tax rate increase, re-instating tax on ultra wealthy estates
