President Joe Biden ’s happy 100 days have been a sad time for Republicans. While the new president has unified Americans behind his proposals for building America back better, the Republican Party has been consumed by conspiracy theories. The president is a nightmare for the GOP. He is a mild-mannered moderate messenger with a principled progressive political platform. A recent national survey by NBC News indicated that less than a third of the people described Biden as liberal. The GOP has hammered Biden relentlessly throughout his presidential campaign and over the 100 days of his presidency for being what they call a “tax-and-spend” liberal. But the party has nothing to show for it so far because it is not united enough to develop a policy vision for the nation’s future to contrast with the president’s plans. While Biden moves the country forward, the GOP is consumed by conspiracy theories and looks backwards to debate Donald Trump ’s legacy. Trump hovers over the future of the Republican Party like a dark and threatening cloud that prevents his party from seeing the horizon. The GOP is whatever Trump says it is. That’s a problem because of public distaste for him and his presidency. Most Americans have a negative opinion of him in the NBC News poll. There are differences between Democrats but nothing like the war within the GOP. Biden has reconciled his presidency with Sen.
