Showing Original Post only (View all)I support Joe Biden ... He is correct on bi-partisan cooperation [View all]
No matter how much we hate the other side or the other people we are going to have to work with them where we have agreement to get things done.
I still expect our side to fight on issues where we don't agree -- but the bottom line is that be an absolutist is going to get our party, and our country, NOWHERE!
As much as we hate to admit it - there are millions of Americans that support the other guys. I'm not saying we should compromise on our core principals - but there are things we can agree on and move forward.
If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden

I am sure that if Biden wears a tan suit, they will not cry shame on him and pummel him for weeks
