Well, part of the "secret," not so very secret at all, is that so many millions are relieved not to start off every day worrying about a new example of presidential ignorance or lawlessness or vulgarity.
What’s the Secret of Biden’s Success?
The president’s party is finally comfortable in its own skin.
By Paul Krugman
Even though Barack Obama began his presidency with high personal approval ratings, his policies never had strong public support. Public approval for Joe Biden’s policies, by contrast, is almost surreally high. Why?
...Another factor working in Biden’s favor is the closing of professional Republicans’ minds. Even before conspiracy theories took control, Republican politicians were living in a mental bubble. in many ways the modern G.O.P. is more like a cult than a normal political party... So Biden’s 2021 isn’t playing anything like Obama’s 2009, and Republicans don’t seem to know what hit them.

The gaffe king could never control what garbage came out of his mouth. And then you throw in the cognitive decline, and all bets are off. Nice try though...
To his credit though, he hasn't been sniffing children's scalps or awkwardly/inappropriately touching children, like in the past. Remember when he said Obama was the first mainstream black man who was articulate, bright, and clean??? Yikes... Biden is not a good role model for America's young people to follow. Parents absolutely should protect their children by turning the television off when he is on. You just never know what obscenities or offensive statements are going to come flying out of his mouth next.
I strongly disagree wit the premise that the Democratic Party is comfortable in its own skin. I think both the Democrats and the Republicans are facing an internal tug-of-war between their moderate and more extreme wings. The Democrats are only doing a moderately better job at the public face (e.g., Ocasio-Cortez saying Biden had exceeded expectations while the farther left side of the OArty has been pressing him on many issues), and not mich better at that.

Paul Krugman? LMAO! Liberals believe their own b.s. too much. Look!, it's printed in the NYT, it must be gospel.
a liberal calling the GOP a cult when Democrats are the party of big government, identity politics and flat out racism. You can't make this up. The re-invention of Biden. Pretend he never had a political record (and a bad one) since 1973 and just call the other side a cult. That train is never late with liberals.
Nice.
I had been wondering how he was so stunningly successful at preventing border intrusions, which used to be a problem.

I wish him the very best of success. The Dems will always tout his "success" no matter what he does, but the real proof will be in 2022 to see if he can hold The House, and 2024 to see if he can hold The White House. So far, so good, I suppose, although that whole border thing is a mess.
Doesn't look good for his House of Representatives in 2022. China likes him. Iran is still hopeful. Norks refused to return his call. Lebron James likes him. So does Maxine.
Barack Obama was John the Baptist to Biden’s Jesus Christ. Biden will usher in a new political era. Nearly five decades of policies that benefit the ultra wealthy at the expense of every one else are finally coming to a much needed end. It’s time to return to a time when anyone who is willing to work can earn a fair wage. Biden is going to make it happen, and the Democrats are going to reap the political rewards of giving America a president who can actually deliver more than just empty rhetoric.
