Christopher Bedford: White House Scramble To ‘Fix’ Border And Grab Guns Is Desperate Attempt To Improve Polling
June 24, 2021 By Jordan Davidson
Federalist Senior Editor Christopher Bedford said the Democrats are scrambling to adjust their platform as a way to bring up their polling numbers.
“If you look at this, going down to the border and tackling the surge in violence are two things that not only were not at all on the Democratic agenda, were not talked about on the debate stage, but they actually run counter to a lot of the policies that they’ve been trying to do, which are defund the police, open up the border, and basically drop law enforcement in both those places,” Bedford said. “It’s a very inconvenient place for them to be forced.”
One example of this scramble is Vice President Kamala Harris’s sudden announcement that she will be visiting the border after a more than 90-day delay.
“She recognized that based on what the Democratic agenda was, what the administration was trying to do, fixing the chaos at the border would be pretty much impossible, which is why she came up with, ‘Why don’t we fix the economies in Central America and make them so booming so that no one ever wants to leave Central America again,’” Bedford said.

If this really is about boosting his polling numbers, there's a breathtaking disconnect between the polls and policy. Everything he's doing, especially this latest blunder, is aimed at pleasing the people who already like him 100% and despised by everybody else.
Net increase in the polls: Loss of positives, and gain of negatives for a net loss. I say to the Rats, "More please!"
