Joe Biden Has Been Saying 'It's Not Your Father's Republican Party' For Years

[Hortensis]

28. Maybe listen to him again? We are a substantial

majority in national elections and have been for some years now. What we need is only a few percent more to become a sustainable, dominant majority that can win elections in spite of the Republicans' electoral college advantage.

So what Biden is going to do is try to pick up a few more percent from both previous nonvoters and, as we're talking about here, from among the very large pool of conservative indies who are embarrassed to identify with the Republican Party but haven't been ready to finally break with it.

And hopefully then, because just "winning" an election must be sustained, to continue on to grow a new, stable working center made up from both parties that will do a much better job of protecting the soul he speaks of from those trying to destroy it. Biggest, by far most important ambition of all those announced by our candidates, but only what we used to have and must again.
