How about we campaign on the obstructionist Republican party of the last decade, relentlessly. Lexee Jan 2020 #53

Perhaps the Democrats should endlessly remind the media guillaumeb Jan 2020 #55

over 400 Bills that were passed by the House are being blocked from consideration by Mitch McConnell Lexee Jan 2020 #57

And it has the advantage of being correct. guillaumeb Jan 2020 #58

Bad idea hurl Jan 2020 #70

Biden said he was open to it, if he could find a suitable GOP candidate. guillaumeb Jan 2020 #71

Indeed he did hurl Jan 2020 #72
