I have said many many times and will continue. While Joe is crafty and he is a fighter but he is fundamentally a decent human being. Not that Bernie isn't but Joe is about the goodness of humanity and as such, he tries to be collaborative and strives toward consensus building. He is not a scorched earth kind of guy. He will get things done, but he doesn't like to hurt people in the process.

It goes to show you how far the Conservative movement and the Republican Party has sunk. Everyone from the older guard seemed to absolutely love Joe Biden. Lindsey Graham said as much. Now they demonize him. They have no moral or ethical center.
