Any of our candidates would be in the same boat as president. A moderate would theoretically have a slightly better chance of getting cooperation from the few remaining moderate members of the GOP, but in reality, there's little reason to believe the GOP is going to be more cooperative, regardless of who becomes president as a D. This argument could be made for any Democratic candidate who runs on "getting stuff done".

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
