shoshin Posted November 16, 2020 Share Posted November 16, 2020 (edited) Only significant name so far is Ron Klain, well known to Biden as his Chief of Staff as VP. Who is Ron Klain? He served as chief counsel on the Senate Judiciary Committee from 1989-92 when Mr Biden was chairman. He was also an adviser and speechwriter on Mr Biden's unsuccessful 1988 and 2008 White House campaigns. Mr Klain served as chief of staff to Mr Biden from 2009 to 2011, the first few years of Mr Biden's tenure as vice-president in the Obama White House. He later served as President Obama's "Ebola czar" during a minor outbreak of the deadly disease in 2014. More to come but his leadership team needed a placeholder.

It'd be good if the Rs retain control of the Senate. It will force the parties to work together or expose those who won't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The divisions in Democratic ranks would probably not get so exposed. If Dems win, look out! Big fight for what they spend their political capital on. But I could see a situation where R's just refuse to work on anything Biden wants, No confirming cabinet members, not judges approved,, no funding government. Just trying to burn the country down. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Republicans did nothing but obstruct and tear down for the last 6 years and no one held them accountable for it this year. The worst of them coasted to reelection the last two years. I would much rather force all of the republicans out and then expose who in the Democratic party is actually a Republican with a blue tie. A balance between center-right and alt-right is not what this country needs. All want handouts for the top 0.1% and half of them want open civil war on the rest. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To the extent there's truth in some of what you said and not just overblown histrionics, and to the extent that what you listed is part of Congress's job, you find common ground. That's what they needed to do, 100%. You had a Republican PArty that wanted to do something on health care. You had a D party that wanted that too. Progress: 0%. Failure by both parties. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They absolutely did not, in either case. The only goal, and thus only achievement of the republican party is the destruction of things built by Democrats. As someone that's not a Democrat, and did not vote for Obama, it was insane to watch it all take place. They took credit for his administration's achievements when they wanted to and dismantled what they didn't. There's absolutely no need for the republicans to do anything on healthcare as, again, they have no interest in improving it - only in making it abject worse. In my lifetime, the Republican party has not made anything better for the working/middle class and they've never even proposed a policy that would actually do so. The best they've been able to muster is a $1200 one time tax credit in exchange for trillions of dollars in tax reduction for their corporate criminal friends. At the end of the day, all that does is screw the middle/working class. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
