Henry Olsen: 拜登总统在边境问题上表现不佳，未能有效解决问题，导致支持率极低。其政治嗅觉似乎欠佳，未能抓住机会改善边境状况。 Henry Olsen: 德桑蒂斯州长的总统竞选策略无效，未能有效挑战特朗普。其策略是向极右翼靠拢，但这种策略在过去20年中从未成功。德桑蒂斯未能有效与特朗普区分开来，也没有充分利用特朗普的弱点。 Henry Olsen: 众议院极端保守派（自由核心小组）只顾抱怨，没有取得任何实质性进展。他们缺乏明确的战略和目标，一味重复相同的策略，却期望不同的结果。 Henry Olsen: 雄心勃勃的民主党进步派缺乏勇气挑战拜登总统。他们错失了挑战拜登总统的机会，未能成为进步事业的领导者。

Shownotes Transcript

It's our last episode of the year. Before we head into 2024, Henry airs his grievances with the wannabe heavyweights of this cycle. From Joe Biden’s dismal performance, Ron DeSantis' inept campaign, the perpetually grumpy Freedom Caucus that can’t execute on squat, and ambitious progressive Democrats who lack the chutzpah to challenge their party’s unpopular leader: Mr. Olsen's got a lot of problems with these people!He also chats with Monmouth University Polling Institute's Patrick Murray about the data on the electorate’s dissatisfaction and on parsing through a respondent’s tribal filter. And he welcomes the University of New Hampshire's Dante Scala back to cover the race between Donald Trump and Nikki Haley, along with what the other candidates’ presence on the ballot could mean for the Granite State primary.Merry Christmas, all. See you again in the election year!
