Biden's Downfall

A clear strategy is beginning to emerge that the Republicans should use to take down Biden and the Democrats.

The basis of this approach is the realization that voter turnout has increased hugely and permanently. In 1996, 100 million people voted for president. In 2020, 159 million people did, shattering the previous record by upwards of almost 30 million votes.

This vast increase in turnout is here to stay. Its political significance is that pollsters and politicians must drill down past the layer of normal likely voters into those who usually do not vote but turned out in 2020 and may be expected to do so in the future.

These voters have vastly different priorities and interests from the usual electorate that comes to the polls.

The normal national issues of the economy, jobs, immigration, the environment, education, and the elderly will not have a monopoly on their attention.

Particularly as Biden adopts the rhetoric and goals of the radical left, a host of new issues are going to come in to play that, in past elections, were simply interesting footnotes to the process. Do not look for these issues on the nightly news or in the pages of our major newspapers.

Look instead to human interest features, religious channels, and other non-prime programming that will capture the imagination of the atypical voter.
