Re: “Why Democrats keep losing support even as Trump falters badly” (Jan. 11, Opinion):
Virtually all political columns, letters and David Horsey cartoons in The Seattle Instances revolve round slamming President Donald Trump. That’s why I discovered it refreshing to learn columnist Lynn Schmidt’s column that was vital of Democrats too.
She does admit her piece is an informed guess, and I’ll excuse her for saying Trump is faltering badly. Trump’s job approval has risen barely since late December whereas Democratic job approval continues to be close to an all-time low.
Schmidt reminded us Democrats received particular and off-year elections however she additionally states that People felt deceived about President Joe Biden’s well being decline. (What number of instances did Republicans point out that?) She stated People are indignant as a result of that they had no selection besides to simply accept Vice President Kamala Harris because the Democratic nominee for president. The reality: Harris was unpopular and had actually no main accomplishments as vice chairman, and we now know her operating mate, Gov. Tim Walz, allegedly ignored huge corruption in Minnesota. They had been a catastrophe.
The Democratic Celebration has misplaced its manner and Schmidt desires accountability and apologies for poor decisions earlier than shifting on. Democratic Nationwide Committee Chairman Ken Martin disagrees. I’ll take Schmidt’s phrase.
