Quote of the Day

“According to “Original Sin,” Biden was confident that Trump would self-destruct on the debate stage, and all he had to do was stand back and let him. Reading that, I thought of the strategists who argued that after Trump’s re-election, Democrats should “roll over and play dead,” in James Carville’s words, while Republicans discredit themselves. Remembering the way Democrats brushed off polls showing how much their own voters wanted a new presidential nominee, I thought about a recent conversation I had with the House minority leader, Hakeem Jeffries, who dismissed surveys showing that Democratic voters are deeply disillusioned with congressional leadership.”
