Biden asks about Republicans: “Who in the hell do they think they are?”

President Unity is raising money for Democrats by trying to claim that Republican Governor Ron DeSantis is “Trump incarnate” and scaring senior citizens that Republicans will take away Social Security and Medicare benefits. His riffs on the campaign trail would be amusing if they weren’t so predictable and stale.
Democrats are facing a big ole red wave next week and they are running scared. That includes the head of the party, Joe Biden, who is claiming that the midterm elections aren’t a referendum, they are a choice. Unfortunately for Biden, that’s not the truth. Midterm elections are always a referendum on the party in control and this one is no different. What is different in this election cycle is that the president has delivered us back to the 1970s and voters are not happy about that. Just when we thought Jimmy Carter was the standard-bearer of bad presidents, along came Joe Biden. Biden is the new Jimmy Carter.
Governor Ron DeSantis is very popular in Florida for his leadership style and successes in keeping Florida open and thriving despite the coronavirus pandemic. He marches to his own drum when it comes to leading Florida through crises, whether it is a pandemic or a hurricane. DeSantis makes informed decisions and sticks with them, even when Washington, D.C. thinks he is wrong. As we know, it is usually our overlords in Washington, D.C. that are wrong. Conservatives know that the government closest to the people is the best government. Local and state governments know better than the federal government when it comes to the needs of people.
excerpt:
“You can’t shake a stick (in Florida) without hitting a Republican that represents the MAGA extremes that the president is talking about,” a senior Biden adviser said. “So, it allows the president to really drive home what’s at stake and what the choice is.”
The Sunshine State represents an important battleground state for the midterms and future presidential elections. But more importantly, with the president’s approval ratings underwater, Biden’s team views Florida as the perfect political backdrop to frame the midterm elections as a choice – between “extreme MAGA Republicans” and Democrats – rather than a referendum on the President and his party, Biden said Tuesday.
“This election is not a referendum. It’s a choice. It’s a choice between two vastly different visions for America,” Biden said at Florida Memorial University.
Biden also said Republicans were “coming after” the right to vote, warning once again that “democracy is on the ballot.” The president spent much of the speech painting, what he called, the “stark contrast” between Democrats and Republicans, including on issues of Social Security, Medicare, abortion and student loans.
On student loans, Biden said, “They moaned and groaned about it and they challenged it in court, which they’re going to lose.”
“Who in the hell do they think they are?” Biden added.
