.... I like Steve Schmidt, and I am glad he is now pretty much on our side. The thing is, he is also the person who brought us Sarah Palin, and almost single-handedly destroyed John Kerry's campaign against George Bush, yet now, he is a darling of Democratic Underground.
Joe Scarborough who had Trump as a guest on his show several times, and did have a relationship that ended in 2016 is now demonized as though he single-handedly got trump elected. For the past 4 years, 5 days a week, 3 hours a day most of his time has been spent eviscerating trump, and his enablers. A good portion of his Morning Show has been a democratic platform for the likes of people such as Nancy Pelosi, Chuck Schumer, Adam Schiff, Jerry Nadler, and the list goes on and on. Why do they appear on his show if, as many people here insist, he is scum? Because they appreciate his contribution of the last 4 years, and have moved well beyond the petty animosity many here at Democratic Underground feed upon. If there is anyone here at Democratic Underground who has done more in the last 4 years to promote Democrats, and help get Joe Biden elected please step forward. I would personally like to thank you, and give you a virtual pat on the back.

What he stated about the budget office is simply a fact, and if I'm not mistaken, Joe Biden's campaign was based upon "working together". If that is such a bad thing, how did Joe Biden beat out so many other candidates for the nomination overwhelmingly, and then stomp trump's ass into the ground? I for one back Joe Biden 100% because giving a little to gain a lot, plus an easier path to legislation is the logical thing to do.
