That is part of the problem, IMHO. He still appears to think like it's the 70's where there was comity between the GOP and the Dems. One would think his experience as VP under Obama would have opened his eyes to the 21st century reality - the GOP, before Trump became front/center was all about scorched earth. It was pre-Trump when Rush Limbaugh broadcast "Barach the Magic Negro", i.e., GOP racism didn't need Trump's help; it was pre-Trump when McConnell prevented Obama's SCOTUS nomination from moving forward. It wasn't Trump who kept the Benghazi carnival going ad infinitum.
It's not Biden's gaffs that scare me most, although they are hair-raising at times, it's his POV on Republican behavior and what he thinks he can accomplish with them via "compromise" and whatnot.

Hillary Clinton was never a registered Republican or ever voted for one. betsuni Nov 2019 #14

So she first voted at the age of 21 in 1968 and she was a Democrat by then. StevieM Nov 2019 #33
