46. Biden wants to try to work with GOP. That ship has sailed
Wed Mar 6, 2019, 09:26 PM
Mar 2019

I like a lot about Biden and would have voted for him in 2016.

But his time has passed. It’s time for a more social-Democrat fighter who’s going to take on wealth inequality and voter suppression. There is no working with McConnell; only fighting him.
I’d go Warren, Booker, Harris in that order. I love Harris but the other two have greater legislative experience which I think will be valuable.

Former Vice President Joe Biden defended his embrace of bipartisanship in a divided era Thursday, responding to criticism he has received for praising Republican congressman during the midterms.

"I read in the New York Times today that one of my problems if I were to run for president, I like Republicans. OK, well, bless me father for I have sinned," Biden said as he made the sign of the cross while speaking to the United States Conference of Mayors. "From where I come from, I don't know how you get anything done. I don't know how you get anything done unless we start talking to one another again."

Biden's defense of bipartisanship offers a preview of a possible message the former vice president could embrace should he run for president in 2020. Biden often touts his work reaching across the aisle during his 36 years in the Senate as well as his two terms as vice president under President Barack Obama.
