(
ThyBlackMan.com) President Joe Biden said it in interview, on the campaign trail, and in debates with Trump. The “it” is that he will be president of all the people. This was more than political
noblesse oblige or a vote getting sound bite. It is a political pragmatists olive branch to a warlike GOP that he knew would stop at nothing to try and derail his candidacy and then presidency.
Joe Biden well knows the history of the
GOP’s non-stop effort to torpedo former President Obama’s presidency. How could he not know it? Then Senate Minority and later Majority Leader Mitch McConnell openly bragged about doing everything humanly possible to make Obama a one term president and failing that, a failed presidency. He didn’t, but it wasn’t for lack of trying with every Senate rule command and legislative dodge, dither, obstruct, and deny technique in his legislative arsenal.
Amid an intraparty civil war, the GOP was battling itself over whether to go to bat one final time for the president or use the opportunity as a get-out-of-jail-free card.
