Conservative: What Now for the Prez?

Has any president “a year into his term” been “reduced to such impotence that his aides are impelled to whine to friendly media about the ‘disrespect’ shown him by a first-term senator?” asks The Wall Street Journal’s Gerard Baker of one Biden adviser’s whining about Sen. Kyrsten Sinema. Yet “such lèse-majesté is routine now in Democratic ranks. In the past month the president has been spurned by Ms. Sinema, rebuffed by Sen. Joe Manchin, and, perhaps most humiliating, snubbed by Stacey Abrams,” whose claiming fame is losing “the 2018 election for Georgia governor.” What to do? Quit “trying to build ever more improbable progressive utopias in the clouds on the vaporous platform of a 50-50 Senate,” and “start doing some of the things the American people would actually like to see him do.” Silver lining: His agenda’s failure means a “damaged country has avoided further unnecessary self-inflicted harm.”
