Biden Predicts GOP Epiphany [View all]

From Monday's K street fundraiser:
"With Donald Trump out of the way, you’re going to see a number of my Republican colleagues have an epiphany. Mark my words. Mark my words,” Biden said.

snip
On the same day Biden made his remarks, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) was just a few blocks away at the White House, boasting about how he blocked Merrick Garland from getting a seat on the Supreme Court.

For those who think this is part of a strategy it is clear ater many similar statements now that Biden believes it, even after eight years as Obama's vice-president and seeing their obstructiuon firsthand.

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

Republican dickishness pre-dated Trump and will outlive him, as well n/t Blaukraut Nov 2019 #19

I love Biden but this will not happen coeur_de_lion Nov 2019 #20

I'd be less worried about Joe's mental state if I thought he was saying this WITHOUT believing it More_Cowbell Nov 2019 #30

It sure makes one wonder what Joe could possibly be thinking. InAbLuEsTaTe Nov 2019 #38

Maybe he's being overly optimistic coeur_de_lion Nov 2019 #46

Like it or not it's called common ground. NYT/Sienna poll out yesterday Thekaspervote Nov 2019 #40

Has nothing to do with common ground; it's about knowing what you are up against Bradshaw3 Nov 2019 #44

I'm going to go out on a limb and say Mr.Bill Nov 2019 #42
