Simple advice for Biden and his staff.

Don’t talk about Republicans you like.
Stick to bashing Trump.
Otherwise, you won’t win the nomination.

Not that I think he doesn't deserve it all.

Also "i vow to not work with Republicans or anyone who disagrees with me" is foolish.

And you are correct, saying he won’t work w Republicans who can get on board with some of our policy goals wouldn’t play well with the Democratic Primary Electorate.

That may be popular here on DU, but DU is a bubble which doesn’t reflect real world Democrats.

It would have made more sense if Biden worked with moderate Republicans to accomplish good things.

Working with openly racist segregationist Dixiecrats doesn't win over many Trump voters but can lose some of our increasingly diverse Democratic voters.
