Just don't get the cart before the horse. We do need successful policy initiatives to win the next election.
It's the economy stupid. Of course, not only the economy but the economy more than anything else - unless there are some unusual circumstances. One circumstance I can see causing clear breaks in the Republican edifice is if the militant far right do a series of violent attacks. If that happens, I think the Republicans are going to be in clear trouble in a great many elections for a while even if Biden can't make more alienated white working class people feel more financially secure.
And the market dropped below 30K today.
Thanks, Joe.
Of course, the market isn't the economy, or even indicative of where the economy will go. Big game of craps with people's 401K money fueling the trading madness. There is only one winner there. The house.
