Republicans and Democrats are taking different paths to a destination that the public finds repellent.
National ReviewThe two parties are, of course, hurtling toward the Trump-Biden rematch that no one wants.
Republicans — or at least a significant element of the party — are utterly besotted with Trump, while Democratic officialdom is dutifully lining up behind Biden despite polling showing that the rank-and-file has deep misgivings about him. Eight years after coming down the escalator, Trump still generates an electric response among his supporters that’s rare to see in our politics. | Drew Angerer/Getty Images
It doesn’t require much foresight to realize what next year could be like if Trump is nominated, with trials and convictions perhaps in the offing and a relentless Democratic focus on all the vulnerabilities — Jan. 6, various and sundry wild-eyed statements — that no other Republican possesses.
Biden isn’t a symbol or a cause, rather an instrument. If Trump represents a politics of some sort of madcap poetry, Biden represents a politics of dreary, “uh, let me see who it says here I should call on next” prose. Trump is the candidate of mass politics in the social media age, whereas Biden has more the feel of a candidate of smoked-filled rooms, even if such rooms no longer exist.
