.... And you have a triple play.
On edit, I got you mixed up with another post the exact same argument, so I'll give you the exact same answer.

Any Democratic president....
.... Will have to try to some measure work with Republicans. They are not going to disappear with the election of a Democratic president. If by chance, you are inferring that Biden would simply fold under any pressure from these Republicans, then I believe you are sadly mistaken. It's one thing to give them the opportunity to work with a Biden White House, and it is a completely different thing to try and buck a Biden White House.

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