story as United States senator his long history as United States Centre and twisting arms and building relationships, and maybe
the guy who can work with Mitch Macao and convince a bunch republicans to come to his side and get sixty votes for some of this big legislation?
that obviously hasn't happened, he got it on infrastructure, but not many other
places. So was it
to see in this era. In this climate, the way the Republican Party is today now looking back to think that Joe Biden could be different in this moment,
by what Willie I enjoy it. When you ask me questions to which there is one word answer. Yes, of course, it was an and the crazy
is the fantasy seem to be entertained by Joe Biden? If you think about the twenty twenty, a democratic
our fight
Every single one of Joe Biden, rivals yet screamed at him through
the nomination fight
he was living in fantasy land when he talked about our problem?
this would have an epiphany and work with him they
we intend to his a ears, as vice president said: did you learn nothing on
November, seventh of twenty twenty eight November nineteen, twenty twenty one of those right after the election was called. I our poorest,
it up and ask Joe Biden, you know why do you think we are given what you experienced as as vice president? What do you think Republicans will work with you and
said they will, that was November, of trade

won't even acknowledge
legitimacy, save your election foreshadowing perfectly. What would happen
next year, if they won't

What he wants to sort of say, is
to convey the notion that hey, I was wondering
of them? The benefit of the doubt I was willing to. I was hopeful
They wouldn't change that they would be willing, and this time pandemic and economic
crisis that they would change their spots and be willing to work american people, and now I've learned that they aren't we.
To do that, and so we are going to draw the sharp contrast going into the midterms. That is what democratic around the country have been better,
before we started to see a little bit of a road map for it for up from him,
our logo robot for that from him yesterday, which was what have we?
over the last year
What do we want to do more of on one side and Republicans, you dont want you anything in

They can't afford it and then what is the next thing you do? Is you take Mitt Romney at his word and say: oh you want to love and dollar twenty five cent minimum wage
