Bill - here's my friend Jeffrey St. Clair's take on Biden and Dems:
+ In the special election for Texas 34th congressional district, Mayra Flores (R) defeats Dan Sanchez (D) flipping an 84% Hispanic Rio Grande Valley seat red for the first time in 75 years. The dominoes will start falling very fast now…
+ Like Bill Clinton, Biden wouldn’t mind (and might even secretly desire) having the Republicans take control of Congress for the next two years, so he can blame them for nothing getting done (even though he doesn’t really want to do much of anything himself). But the rest of the party is nuts for going along with him.
+ The Democrats are using a playbook from the late 1980s. It didn’t work very well then and it’s pretty much worthless now, but apparently it still seems like the latest thing to the octogenarians running the party.
