Biden eyes GOP candidates for Cabinet slots

[ancianita]

92. I absolutely agree. If Democrats haven't noticed, it's been past time for them

to see what Obama refused to see or admit after Senate Republicans became the majority.

At this point, being realistic in order to get on with using our party's power of two branches in no way makes any Democrat an "anti-establishment" Democrat.

Unity doesn't have to end once we win. We're not going to default to old school in-party labelling once we win. We've got too damn much work to do to re-establish good governance by passing key structural changes through Congress.

Biden knows that it takes two parties to make bipartisanship work. But since there hasn't been any -- not for lack of trying on the Democrats' part -- this time, no deal cutting with all its win-lose drama. Just honest work with or without Republican support. Republicans killed bipartisanship after 2018, and was on its ("Obama will be a one-term president" ) deathbed before that.

Bipartisanship shouldn't return until structural changes are made through a Democratic majority Senate. Republicans either have to reach across the aisle FIRST, and get in on our legislation, or they'll just have to have to watch how good governing is done, since they haven't done a lick of it.

But they won't watch. They'll fire up their scream machine.
