Fox News ^ | April 08 2020 | Dom Calicchio

It’s probably no surprise that New York Times columnist Tom Friedman has been imagining a Joe Biden victory for the White House in November.

But what had some liberals freaking out Tuesday was Friedman’s suggestion that Biden, if elected, form a “unity cabinet,” composed of both Democrats and Republicans.

The coronavirus outbreak provides the perfect opportunity to renew a bipartisan spirit in the U.S. after years of partisan acrimony, Friedman argued.

The chief Globalist all of asudden cares about American Unity. Globalism is going down in the US! PT was a secular prophet, warning us for 40 years.

Why not.

You can find Republicans that are nearly indistinguishable from Democrats.

Take for example my own Republican Governor of Ohio, Mike DeWine and before him John Kasich.

For better or worse, Republicans have a long history of working with Democrats in the name of national unity.

On the other hand, if someone suggests that Democrats work with Republicans, the result is that Liberals “freak out” because the idea is abhorrent.

They both are probably on drugs.

It has occurred to me that if the Democrats get totally desperate, they could choose Romney as their nominee this year. His policies match their policies. It would smell like unity, it would attract anti-Trump Republicans and they’d have a nominee who doesn’t have dementia.

Biden doesn't need a unity cabinet.

The fast-fading, dementia-burdened Biden needs a sock puppet to run the presidency if by some freak of nature he happens to get elected.

He is in no mental shape to campaign, let alone run the country.

An intervention is needed by the democRATS to prevent a disaster for Biden and the country.

Romney doesn’t have policies. He’s a democrat. He thrives on power. Nothing else.

Yeah. That’s why he might be attractive to them at the Democrat Convention when they announce that Joe can’t serve.

Articles like this illustrate how much the political landscape has been re-aligned in the last 25 years.

It’s no longer Democrat vs. Republican in politics. It’s now Globalist vs. Nationalist, which explains why it’s so easy to envision GOP dopes like Romney or Kasich in a Biden cabinet ... and why Donald Trump is likely to get a lot of votes from Bernie Sanders supporters in November.
