Five Things That Are Harming Biden's Next Campaign (If He Truly Runs)

 1.  This theatrical show involving college student debt and promise-after-promise by by Biden, with little to show for the promises.

First, lets admit that 400-odd-billion dollars of debt is huge and the bulk of the country (I would say 75-percent) don't want it just forgiven (given away).  

Second, if Biden had just gone and said that $5,000 a year for your first three years after college....would be forgiven in some ultra-small way.....that might have passed throughout with minimum debate.  But Joe went BIG and made this a bigger mess to accomplish.

Finally, when we arrive at spring of 2024....if the debt issue still exists....just how will he explain his campaign 'smoke'?  In this case, there's 'smoke' but no fire.  

2.  Hunter.  No matter how much WaPo, NY Times or CNN skip the story.....most people know that Hunter has crossed some legal line and can't be handled by the DoJ.  

Trying to make the Hunter story go away?  It seems like each week....there's another page added.  The journalists just avoiding the discussion?  You end up losing respect for your profession.

3.  The 'God-save-the-Queen' antics.  If you start on day one of the administration and add up the goofy comments by President Biden....you end up with more than 1,000 video clips that project a old guy with issues.

4.  Afghanistan.  There's nothing you can say or flip.....when the closure of US operations in Afghanistan occurred.  You can't even find anyone who seems to have in the planning process, or who you could fire.  

5.  The Biden family 'business'.  No one can really cite what it is or how it developed.  If they just made pencils, or had some movie production company, or imported crack-cocaine to Portland.....it'd make sense.
