“Don’t change horses midstream”, an adage attributed to Abraham Lincoln, means (inter alia) stick with the incumbent president during times of turmoil and conflict.
If the present conflict in Gaza leads to a wider war, with heavy involvement by the U.S. and (possibly) attacks on Americans in their homeland, the pro-Biden (or Harris) chorus will sing rousing renditions of “don’t change horses midstream”.
But why would Americans want to stick with an incumbent (or his eager alto) who got us into the mess in the first place by displaying weakness at every turn: bugging out disgracefully from Afghanistan, failing to protect America’s southern border, playing footsie with China (under the table), shoveling billions at the Taliban, shoveling more billions at Iran, throwing more billions at Ukraine instead of building America’s own defense forces, and weakening America’s economic and industrial base in the Quixotic battle against “climate change”?
Leftists, being anti-American, love those things. Let’s hope that a sizable fraction of American voters see them for what they are: weakness in the face of our enemies.
Changing horses midstream would be just the start of a much-needed reversal of America’s economic and security prospects.
