Joe Biden: R's will have an "epiphany" after DT leaves WH, and they'll work with Biden. [View all]

This discussion thread was locked as off-topic by Yonnie3 (a host of the General Discussion forum).

Does anyone really believe that the R's are going to reform themselves once DT leaves the WH? That they would be willing to cooperate and get things done with a President Biden? Even though they decided at the outset of Obama's Presidency that their only legislative goal was to obstruct everything, so he would be a 1 term President?

No matter who we elect, won't the R's still have the same goal -- to hold him or her to one term, no matter how much their obstruction hurts the country?

Who is best prepared to deal with this obstructionism? Someone who denies that it will happen?

Former Vice President Joe Biden said Tuesday he expects Republicans will have an "epiphany" when President Donald Trump leaves office, and will embrace working with Democratic colleagues.

"I just think there is a way, and the thing that will fundamentally change things is with Donald Trump out of the White House. Not a joke. You will see an epiphany occur among many of my Republican friends," Biden said during a campaign stop in New Hampshire. "It's already beginning in the House now ... If we can't change, we're in trouble. This nation cannot function without generating consensus. It can't do it."
