Biden Vows To NOT Fight Back Hard Against Republicans

In an interview with The New York Times recently, President-elect Joe Biden said that he will never publicly embarrass Republicans in order to get them to go along with his ideas. That might be one of the dumbest comments Biden has ever made, because it just shows that he's already ruling out certain fighting methods against these hardliners who hate him.

Uh, this past week, Joe Biden proved that he didn't learn anything from the 20, 20 presidential election. Uh, he also apparently didn't learn anything from the last four years. And he also based on his own statements, we can conclude that he didn't learn a single thing. During the eight years, he was vice president of the United States. Joe Biden is walking into a landmine and he's not walking lightly. He's, he's stomping around intentionally trying to step on these landmines because he thinks that's what he should do, because he thinks the landmines aren't going to blow up when he steps up. Um, you know, as landmines are want to do during an interview with the New York times this week, uh, last Wednesday, actually it was Joe Biden said when asked about his leverage with negotiating with Republicans, this is what he said. My leverage is every senior Republican knows.

I've never once ever misled them. I'll never publicly embarrassed them. Um, so that's how you're going to get things done. That's how you're going to get Republicans to work with you because you've never lied to them. So I'm assuming you're implying that Obama, uh, just lied to him all the time and that's why they never worked with him. Is that what happened? Um, Obama, didn't also publicly embarrass them. He could have, he should have, but he didn't. So he must've just been lying to him all the time based on your logic here, that if you don't lie to them and you don't publicly embarrass them, they'll work with you, dude. You were part of an administration that was subjected to what is statistically the most obstructionist us Senate in history controlled by the Republicans. And you are sitting here like an idiot acting like they're not even worse than they were back then, then, wow.

I, I, I'm not kidding. When I say I am shocked that this man is that stupid. I knew it was going to be a rough four years, but he is about to make it here awful four years. Wow. Here's the thing. There's a reason the bully pulpit exists. There's a reason. That's a thing. There's a reason Donald Trump ever saw any kind of success whatsoever. And it's because he tapped into that. He used it any publicly shamed individuals who didn't want to go along with this plan. And you know what he got his way. Every time, every time funding for his border wall, hell he used so much public pressure. He even got the Democrats to do that. Made fun of him, mocked him, insulted them. And they eventually came around and here's Joe Biden saying folks, I'm never going to do that. We just saw how successful it was.

And I promise you, I'm never going to do it. And if you think I'm being a little irrational about Biden being horrible and no, Lou, uh, you got to go a little deeper in the interview, right? As the Hill reported asked this week, if he is up to the fight with Republicans and members of his own party, Biden told the columnist quote, I respectfully suggest that I beat the hell out of everyone else. The president elect noted. He topped Trump with more than 7 million votes and won the democratic presidential nomination beating several prominent Progressive's quote. I think I know what I'm doing. And I've been pretty good at being able to deal with the punchers. I know how to block a straight left and do a right hook. I understand it. He said this city, he doesn't understand why he, why he won that election.

It's not about you, dude. You didn't win the primary because people liked you. You won the primary because the media and the DNC helped sell us on the idea that you were the most illiquid Bubu and that you were the only one that could beat Trump. The polls. I didn't suggest that the public didn't suggest that, but the people smarter than us, they all suggested it. And that's why you won the primary. You won the presidential race because you're not Donald Trump. Not because people were clamoring for 30% of Democrats were excited to vote for you 30%.
