As Biden Strongly Leads Trump, GOP Senators Express Willingness to Work With Dems If He Wins.

*The Reuters/Ipsos poll and YouGov poll released Wednesday both showed Biden with a nine point lead over Trump nationally. Most recent polling has also suggested a win for the Democratic candidate. Fox News' latest poll placed Biden five percentage points ahead of Trump and Monmouth showed the former vice president with a seven point lead.

Prominent Republicans publicly expressed willingness this week to work on reaching deals with a potential Biden administration if he defeats their Republican leader and the GOP holds onto the Senate in November. None of these lawmakers are supporting Biden's campaign, but their openness to working with Democrats signals a possible move toward diluting the legislative filibuster.'>>>

I think President Biden and his administration will handle these 'characters' nicely.

They have shown us who they are, and when we take the Senate, they will become instantly irrelevant.

We don't need you, we don't want you. We invited you to the table in 2009, and you stabbed us in the back; you've been stabbing us ever since, and we're sick of it. Kindly depart and proceed with self-fornication with extreme violence. With a pitchfork. Sideways.

WHY do only Democrats have to compromise with repukes? Obama wasted a lot of time trying to curry favor with them when it was NEVER going to happen.

Democrats will pass something good for the country. No republicans will vote for it. The fact that it go no republican votes will be used as a reason there is something wrong with the bill.
