Former Georgia Lieutenant Governor Geoff Duncan (R) has a piece in the Atlanta Journal-Constitution encouraging Republicans to vote for Joe Biden because Donald Trump has “disqualified himself through his conduct and his character.” I like Geoff and understand the concerns about Trump as well as anyone. As I write this, Donald Trump is in court with a pornstar testifying against him. I get it.
But what Geoff is missing is that he’s asking Americans to vote for a man whose policies are simply not working for the average American voter. Just this morning, legendary hedge fund manager Stanley Druckenmiller said on CNBC that he grades Bidenomics as an F. Instead of betting on the free market to innovate after it was clear the country was not headed towards a depression following COVID, Biden spent obscene amounts of money and created inflationary pressures that are outpacing wages and killing middle-class Americans.
Middle-class Americans who aspire to have their children attend top universities have watched Biden’s biggest donors fund antisemitic protests on college campuses resulting in direct discrimination against Jewish students. In Georgia, they saw a college student gruesomely murdered at the hands of someone who remained in this country thanks to Biden’s immigration policies.
While I could go on to chronicle Biden’s war on affordable energy, assault on reliable appliances, or his complete disregard for the safety and dignity of women’s sports, people like Geoff Duncan fundamentally expect you to put all of this aside and vote for him because of Donald Trump’s character. Biden isn’t meeting people where they are and it’s indefensible. Watch:
