Analysis: Rhetoric or obliviousness? Biden predicts a post-Trump 'epiphany' for GOP.
Former vice president Joe Biden looks over his choices at a stop for coffee in Concord, N.H., on Monday.
It’s hard to reconcile Biden’s stated optimism with what Democrats have seen on the ground in Washington in recent years. After all, it’s not as though there was broad bipartisan comity before Trump’s ascension in the party, something that Barack Obama’s vice president should certainly know. Since Trump has taken office, he has prioritized policies and executive orders focused on appealing to conservatives, choosing a reelection strategy of reinforcing his existing political base instead of trying to broaden it. There has been only a limited effort to reach across the aisle — and Republicans are comfortable with that.
"I believe history will look back on four years of this president and all he embraces as an aberrant moment in time,” he said in that video. The key part of that sentence is “all he embraces,” suggesting that there’s something sui generis about Trump’s rhetoric. It’s interesting to contrast Biden’s comments with Sen. Elizabeth Warren’s rejection of a town hall event Tuesday on Fox News Channel. The Massachusetts Democrat wouldn’t participate because “Fox News is a hate-for-profit racket that gives a megaphone to racists and conspiracists,” she wrote on Twitter. “It’s designed to turn us against each other, risking life and death consequences, to provide cover for the corruption that’s rotting our government and hollowing out our middle class.
