CNN Republican Scott Jennings brought up an irony during their coverage of the DNC. Democrats tell Americans they can fix everything. The problem is, they’ve been in charge 12 out of 16 years and still haven’t done it. Jennings brought it up with Anderson Cooper. He asked a couple of things, among them why Harris promised to fix things as president that she didn’t seem to have any interest in til now.
Democrats talk
Jennings brought up that,
“She’s in the White House right now. Democrats have controlled the White House for 12 of the last 16 years, and for all of the talk about division and the problems of the country, people are hurting — Democrats have mostly controlled the country. Trump had it for four, but the Obamas and Biden had it for the rest of the time. And somehow, it’s still all Trump’s fault, and somehow, [Harris] hasn’t been at the center of it.”
Why should Americans believe Kamala Harris would solve problems as President when she didn’t appear to have an interest in that while Vice President? He wondered,
“So to me, that’s still the glaring hole in this campaign that hasn’t yet been solved at the convention: How do you explain all of the problems that will be solved by the person who is currently in there for the last three-and-a-half years, who is supposed to already be working on solving it?”
Jennings acknowledged that Barack and Michelle Obama brought the house down at the DNC. It was on their home turf of Chicago too.
Democrats conveniently omit
Jennings brought up the “glaring hole”. He spoke of the differences between the two conventions.
“I should warn my fellow Republicans that we heard two of the greatest political communicators in the country tonight. Now, we had Hulk-a-mania,” referring to Hulk Hogan at the Republican National Convention. “The Democrats have Obama-mania. They ripped the roof off of this place tonight. These Democrats are fired up — they’re not playing. Okay? Yes, they say things that are exaggerations. They do say things about Trump and the Republicans that are outright lies. But the convention is working for Harris, at least as of today.”
Curiously, Obama accidentally kept that hole wide open, “We do not need four more years of bluster and bumbling and chaos. We have seen that movie before. And we all know that the sequel is usually worse. America is ready for a new chapter. America is ready for a better story.”
Democrats stood in the way
Everybody knows the enormous opposition there was to Trump and yet he was still able to get things done. Among the things cooked up to slow him down was the Russiagate probe that went on for his first two years.
Pelosi and the Democrats took back Congress in 2018 and slammed doors on him, impeached him twice and blocked the border wall construction. In spite of that, we saw the best economy since the 1990’s.
We also saw the best border security in the nation’s history and peace in the Middle East. Nobody ever thought that could be done. Trump did it. In contrast, Harris doesn’t have any plans that differ from the past three and a half years.
