57. Oh, I can't picture any of our candidates

groveling to the likes of McConnell or kissing his stupid ass. I honestly can't say I've ever seen anything quite like the way he has run the senate. His treatment of President Obama was appalling. I don't know if he can be dealt with on a reasonable level and I'm quite sure Joe Biden has no real illusions either, especially after all the years he watched McConnell obstruct the Obama administration. I think he was being diplomatic, but knows such compromise is highly unlikely.

I am hopeful that the voters will have had enough of this tyrant and that he will be "retiring" soon. I think a lot of the old guard in the house and senate have to go in order for us to recover from the Trump presidency and pass any meaningful legislation. We saw how far good intentions and high ideals got us with the nonstop obstruction during most of the Obama years.

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