trump has proven he

hates Dems and the Democratic party.. and wants to destroy America.. and our relationships with our allies.. while sucking up to the world's dictators and despots.

Biden is the polar opposite.. like you say.. "a uniter". It's the way to "get shit done".. as Peggysue says in her excellent post here..

I can't see any of the other candidates saying they won't try to work with repubs, either.

Thank you for your thoughtful analysis, DI.

Well reasoned, Peggysue!

Hate fests feel good but in the end produce nothing more than hateful rhetoric and intractable stances. Joe Biden has years of legislative experience, knows that schmoozing and arm-twisting can produce results. Consider the fate of the ACA had it been accomplished by Executive Order. Poof. Gone in a heartbeat. We want gun control/regulation. Do we settle for 4 or 8 years and hope for the best? Or do we push for a lasting solution? Same for Climate Change and immigration. Temporary relief or long-term results?

Thank You.. you should make it an OP if you felt like it!

Yes, Garland. Biden is still leaving the

door open instead of saying there's No Hope for repubs.


But, Biden, who leveraged his decades serving in the Senate to help become one of the Obama administration’s chief negotiators on Capitol Hill, has maintained that reaching across the aisle is the only way to implement long-lasting change.

“If you start off with the notion there's nothing you can do, well why don't you all go home then, man? Or let's start a real physical revolution if you're talking about it. Because we have to be able to change what we're doing within our system,” Biden said in June.

Yes, I know the pitchforks and torches are out for Biden over this.. but mostly I don't really care because I consider the sources.

Good way to put it, Deb.. "Biden carries a big

unity stick."

He's an optimistic kinda guy.. he imagines it's possible.. that he can create it.

I wouldn't want to say.. No You Can't to the VP.

Yes it is!

This one?

This says a lot for a Fox News poll that has Biden 31, Warren 20, Sanders 10, Harris 8...https://twitter.com/ForecasterEnten/status/1162122641634930694
There was another interesting finding in that poll -- that voters who don't like either Biden or Trump will still go 43-10 for Biden. In 2016 voters who didn't like either Trump or HRC broke for Trump.

Definitely. Turns his fans against the

media 'cause he doesn't like the facts aired.. calls everything except fox "FAKE NEWS" and he may turn on fox!

Yes, it's been obvious

to many of us for quite awhile now.

As I said to George..

Build on President Obama's legacy.. don't cast him aside like he and his VP didn't do an excellent job getting us out the abyss that bush cheney left us in.

And, he wasn't the first one to get an ACA passed.. an excellent foundation to Build on!
