Merrick Fucking Garland says hi.

Biden at a fundraiser tonight, on his desire to work with the Republican Party post Trump.

“With Trump gone you’re going to begin to see things change. Because these folks know better. They know this isn’t what they’re supposed to be doing."

Here in Georgia (the 8th most populous state) we are not even competitive in Senate races.

issues or so I thought. In fact the Tea Party were so extreme they drove John Boehner, their Speaker out of Washington altogether.

Biden should list all the ways they they cooperated to get legislation passed and nominees approved between 2010 up to 2017.

Possibly there are things he knows that we don't because he was there.

re-registered and helping people get their new voter ID's. We only lost the three states by less than 80K votes (total) and many more than that were lost due to the voter suppression.

that's his strategy.. he's showing optimism to work with them. Doesn't mean he thinks it will

I don't think they care to get it.. not if it means a good pile on.
Thanks for getting it, TwilightZone

This argument would be risible if it wasn't delusional. I am gobsmacked that he's apparently including this mindbender in his stump speech.

...as demonstrating that Republican Senators were eager for bipartisanship; they privately told Biden they disagreed with not having hearing on Garland.
