Robert Kutner on TAP - "How Things Will Get Better for Biden and the Dems"

It is just sickening to watch the media pile on Biden. OK, Manchin and Sinema are holding the administration hostage. The signals from the CDC on COVID have been mixed, and Biden stepped on some of his lines at his recent press conference. The man doesn’t walk on water. But compared to … what?

Here is a scenario for a Democratic comeback.

Within the next month or two, my sources indicate that Biden will get about $1.5 trillion of his Build Back Better program. The reconciliation process cannot be filibustered, and Manchin will eventually support a lot more than zero.

At that point, Democrats-in-Disarray stops being the slow-drip, day-after-day headline. And the herd-instinct, echo-chamber press has to find a new story.

One leading candidate is Republican cannibalism, which has been proceeding right on schedule.

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis broke the unwritten norm that nobody challenges Trump for the 2024 Republican nomination, by suggesting that Trump is a wuss for urging people to get vaccinated. This in turn made Trump predictably apoplectic.

If DeSantis can hint at a presidential run, others will follow. Trump will do more damage to his party by running lunatic unelectable MAGA candidates in primaries. And then the story becomes Republicans in disarray.

Just in case the public needs another reminder of just how deranged the Trump and congressional Republicans are, in February and March the January 6 Committee investigation of the attempted coup will reveal more and more details. All of that will also dominate the headlines.

And a massive election-year grassroots mobilization of Democrats will take shape this spring. Pundits, seeking a new morning line, will start remembering the larger stakes for our democracy and start writing about Biden as the comeback kid.

Needless to say, I can’t guarantee that this will happen. But don’t rule it out either.

I've been very annoyed at how easily the 'progressives' caved and how little they seemed to care about it, but it honestly wouldn't have made a difference. Manchin punked the shyt out of the entire Democratic caucus, including the president, but the focus would have been on how the progressive caucus 'held infrastructure hostage.'

Liberals are still more angry at the Squad for their no votes on BIF (even though it was purely performative since the bill was guaranteed to pass anyway) than they are at Manchin for tanking BBB.

They never had any real leverage. BIF always had the votes and would always pass. They tried and fail, but got to save faith with their performative votes. Nothing to fault them on nor be mad about.



Biden needs to go ahead and get the CTC and extended and whatever else he can piecemeal and talk about its benefits.
