In reply to the discussion: CNN had a story this morning where the Governor of Georgia was blaming President Biden for [View all]All Mixed Up
(597 posts)They've been hammering Republicans EVERY DAY OF EVERY WEEK for WEEKS over their failure to pass the immigration reform bill. Biden mentions it EVERY time he speaks to reporters. It's tweeted out DAILY.
What else do you want them to do?
Literally, the second most recent tweet today by Biden's campaign was his reaction to Trump killing the immigration bill.
They're all over the place screaming about this - but no one cares.
Why? Because Biden had three years, two with a Democratic majority in both chambers, to address the border issue and they never did. You can try to explain the whys and the hows but it doesn't change the fact that from 2021 to 2023, Biden's party controlled both the legislative and executive branch and they didn't move on it.
Now they are. Great.
But it's hard to get that message through when people only think you're doing it as a campaign ploy.
It's why Biden probably has to do an EO and close the border that way - or he has to risk this being an issue the rest of the campaign. But all the messaging in the world won't matter if people don't buy that messaging.
And Clinton and Carville should know. Their messaging in 1994 was so good that they handed the GOP the House and Senate in a massive landslide.
