12. This is not an example of not playing nice. It is equivalent to any number of promises progressives

make. And, as with progressives, may be well-intentioned. He might believe it. Voters can decide if they do, but I don’t think most Americans are holding their breaths.
At the same time, Biden has a better chance than most to get any bipartisan legislation accomplished. This will probably be on a few issues and mean more compromise than we’d all like.
I don’t think Trump’s party, as it stands now, will like any Dem becoming president.
But your post headline is the usual Biden-baiting. It’s the “guess what Joe just did” or said today or three decades ago.
If he wins the presidency, you can be among the first to say how’s that epiphany thingy workin for ya Joe?
Or could be a good snicker line at the debates.
See Joe just isn’t being honest with voters...

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