Mention the name Donald Trump, and you’re sure to get a lot of opinionated responses. He’s a polarizing figure, even within the Republican Party.

Whether you consider yourself part of MAGA or if you’re in some other wing of the party, there’s no denying Trump is sailing toward the nomination at this summer’s GOP convention, assuming he’s able to escape a series of legal troubles.

Trump’s poll numbers are strong, so it’s no wonder Biden and his Leftmedia mouthpieces are hell-bent on scaring you.

Sure, over the years, Democrats have always resorted to the tired strategy of frightening moderates and conservative stalwarts that voting for the Republican candidate would be the end of freedom as we know it. And don’t think a moderate Republican candidate would send the Left’s wolves back to the den. Remember, they even painted the milquetoast Mitt Romney as an extremist back in 2012.

But there’s something about Trump that sends the Left into convulsions: He just keeps fighting, no matter what they try. More importantly, Trump had a pretty good record on many issues that matter to the American people — something that wasn’t fully appreciated until Joe Biden moved into the White House.

With no record of their own to brag about in the present, Biden and the Democrats are bringing up the past.

The Associated Press “reports”: “Biden frequently highlights Trump’s efforts to overturn the results of the 2020 election and how he stood by when supporters violently stormed the Capitol as Congress met to certify his loss to Biden. He also points to Trump separating children from their families at the U.S.-Mexico border, tax cuts the Republican pushed through that benefited corporations and the wealthy and his repeated efforts to overturn the Affordable Care Act.”

Those are all serious distortions of Trump’s actual record — distortions that make Biden appear “reasonable” by comparison.

Biden and his allies also continue pushing the idea that Trump has close ties with Vladimir Putin and North Korea’s Kim Jong-un. They’ve also resorted to name-calling and taking cheap shots. This is a sign of desperation, as many polls show Trump widening his lead over Biden.

And that really gets the Democrats’ goat.

They just can’t figure out how a man they portray as a dictator — a man who they claim will “end democracy as we know it” — is so popular. Even RFK Jr., no supporter of Trump, thinks Biden is more of a “threat to democracy” than the golden-haired billionaire.

Polls indicate none of the legal shenanigans going on in New York City matter to voters. What matters is the America they remember under Trump before COVID-19: secure borders, a stronger economy, lower inflation, clear foreign policy, and an unwavering commitment to our allies.

Biden’s CNN super PAC reports, “Biden is facing extreme pressure to do more to remind voters of the turmoil of Trump’s single term, which ended amid his erratic leadership in a once-in-a-century pandemic but that now appears to some voters to have largely been a time of economic stability.”

A recent CNN poll found that “more than half, 55%, of all Americans say they see Trump’s presidency as a success, while 44% see it as a failure.” As for Biden’s presidency, “so far, 61% say it’s a failure, while 39% see it as successful.”

Some might conclude that Trump’s support merely comes from his strong base, but they’d be wrong.

“Many of Mr. Trump’s key constituencies, such as white voters without a college degree, are particularly likely to have a fond view of his time in office,” according to The New York Times. “But a broad swath of the country — including Hispanic voters, voters over 30 and most lower- and middle-income voters — now see Mr. Trump’s years in office as more good than bad.”

That’s a big problem for Biden to overcome.

As our own Mark Alexander wrote back in 2021: “Despite all the handwringing about political divisions on the Right, that split is over support for Trump the personality. There is no split over support for the Trump administration’s considerable policy successes.” Nothing’s changed today.

And that may be enough to push Trump over the edge in 2024. By taking advantage of Biden’s poor record on just about every issue that matters, Trump’s presidency and all the baggage that came with it is vastly preferable to the daily dose of news about unchecked illegal immigration, rampant crime, soaring inflation, feckless foreign policy, and violent anti-Semitic protests on college campuses.

With Trump largely off the campaign trail and behind the closed doors of a Manhattan courtroom, Biden’s failed presidency remains center stage. For now, that’s a winning combination that might just pay off this November.
