posted this OP because I'm so tired of seeing Biden attacked here for not viewing all Republicans as enemies. And Bden was attacked, in multiple threads, for referring to Pence as "a decent guy."

Some Sanders supporters were joining in the attacks on Biden, and I wanted to show them that Sanders was friends with Inhofe and called him a "decent guy," though Inhofe is probably on the enemies list of any number of supporters of the Green New Deal.

FWIW, one of the nicest guys I've ever known was a Republican lieutenant governor. Who also got along well with the state Democratic Party chairman, whom I also knew -- also a very nice guy.

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