A Year After Donald Trump's Defeat, He Still Inhabits Democrats' Heads
By Andrew Malcolm | Nov 07, 2021 1:15 PM ET
Joe Biden went to Virginia the other day to help Terry McAuliffe lose his bid to regain that governor’s office, in a most embarrassing slap at Biden’s own administration and weak leadership.
A considerable chunk of Biden’s 18-minute remarks was devoted to – wait for it – ex-president Donald Trump, who wasn’t in the race and smartly had not said much about the Virginia contest.
“Remember this,” Biden said, “I ran against Donald Trump. And Terry is running against an acolyte of Donald Trump.”
The Democrat then went on to excoriate his predecessor, saying Trump “drove a mob of insurrectionists to breach the Capitol on the 6th of January. And to this day, he incites people all around the country…. A breach of the Capitol — that didn’t happen even during the Civil War.”
Those Biden remarks didn’t get much media attention, quite properly, because they’re so old and worn, like Biden himself. But they did reveal a remarkable feature of American politics in 2021.

He said he’d fight for religious freedom. He did. He said he’d quiet the southern border. He did. Trump said he’d rebuild the military. He did. He said he’d create millions of jobs. He did. Until, perhaps accidentally, China unleashed its latest, deadly virus on the world.
At the moment, Trump is by far the most popular candidate among GOP faithful. That’s in part because, right now, there’s no realistic alternative, no one willing to challenge No. 45. That will likely change come 2023.
