Biden is in la-la land.  I’m not a historian, but I can’t think of any major law that wasn’t contentious and enacted with the slimmest of majorities. Voting Rights, civil right, social security, the ACA and even the 2009 stimulus during an economic freefall! Have you seen the movie Lincoln and how the 13th amendment was passed?  Biden will try his “can’t we all get along” pitch while McConnell gums-up the works for the next four years and then accuse Dem’s of doing nothing. Just like 2008-2016.  Joe learned nothing from that mess. 

Clyburn, Biden’s kingmaker on Super Tuesday, saw Trump as a repudiation of Obama. He saw Biden as a restoration of Obama.  Bringing back Obama is a big mistake. Those days were mighty frustrating and unproductive.  Republican’s gained power during those eight years after a Bush economic freefall and two wars that were going badly. Stay tuned for reruns. My hope is that the base and Kamal hold Joe’s feet to the fire and he doesn’t waste his opportunity.

Speaking of which, why hasn’t Joe moved his transition headquarters to Atlanta to demonstrate the importance of the two Senate seats in the runoff? Most of his meetings are virtual, anyhow. He should be spending every spare moment on the Georgia stump for Warnock & Ossoff. Another similarity to Obama. Obama didn’t campaign in the mid-terms and Dem’s got “shellacked.”
