Ldays go by and the Republican Party is still looking for the flaw in the breastplate. During the presidential campaign, he had agitated the thesis of the senility of Joe Biden, the recluse of Wilmington (Delaware), mocked for his respect for the wearing of the mask and the rules of physical distancing. He would not hold water during the first debate against the Donald Trump steamroller, the Republicans swore. We had seen.
The Grand Old Party has not learned the lesson. When Joe Biden delayed announcing his first press conference, the attacks resumed with equal vigor. It was enough for the Democratic president to answer a dozen questions on March 25 at his own pace, which is slow, and with his style, which is not breathtaking, to overcome the obstacle. Once again, he had taken advantage of a constant trait in his opponents: that of underestimating him.
On April 12, a Republican senator returned to the assault with the same arguments. “The president does not do interviews on the news channels. Tweets from her account are few and far between, and when they do arrive, incredibly conventional. His public comments are largely scripted. Biden has opted for fewer interviews with mainstream media and reporters. Which prompts the question: is he really in business? “, pretended to wonder John Cornyn (Texas), suggesting after others that the president would be the creature of puppeteers like his chief of staff, Ron Klain.
Behind closed doors, former Republican New Jersey governor Chris Christie advised the Conservatives on another lead. “Oh, is that ‘poor old Joe’ now?” Can’t you call “poor old Joe” a liar? “, he asked himself. “Yes, you can, and we must”, he asserted. After four years of lies and “Alternative facts” produced in industrial quantities, here is a daring advice to say the least.
59% approval
Republicans dream of frontal, playing dodging. They replay the “cultural war” by waving their fetishes, guns, the stigmatization of transgender people, when he talks about a project and a bright future. This calculation is successful for him for the moment. The comparison of the presidential debut published on April 15 by the Pew Research Center confirms this. With 59% approval for his action, Joe Biden competes, at the same time of his first term, with Barack Obama (61%) who was still crowned with his historic election. And he does much better than George W. Bush (55%), Bill Clinton (49%) and especially Donald Trump (39%).
