There is nothing the left, or especially the far left, are offering America of substance. Joe’s attitude is more in line with his heritage, Israel. He is still very left in his mindset and what troubles me is that he is not willing to caucus with the Republicans to swing the Senate. Taking on the border training an supplying camps in Iran would sure be interesting. But the war on terror is really being fought in the Senate and the MSM. A huge gain would be if the chairpersons were switch from the Democrats to the Republicans and might stop the constant BS that the Democrats are pitched our way. This constant barrage has demoralized the Republicans and their clear thinking. This loss of control of the Senate I believe has affected the President and our Government is at a total stall and is very confused. Apparently that is becoming the concept of most Americans. Unfortunate.
Self-preservation being his goal, switching to the Republican side is out. He's not like Zell Miller who had the idea of being a Democrat boiled into his bones from age six, and is too old to change that.
As for the comment right after yours, about "trusting" Joe, I no longer trust him either. Unless I can see an obvious political motive in what he's doing, I don't trust him to carry it out. That's why I used the phrase, "former friend."
