Who gives a f***! If Biden wins and the Democrats control Congress, they better not avoid making “controversial” decisions in the vain hope that the Republicans will be constructive. Obama introduced the Affordable Care Act over total opposition from the Republicans. Try as they might, the Republicans haven’t been able to kill it even with total control of the White House & Congress. It remains popular and the Republicans know the genie is out of the bottle.
If Obama had wimped out, he would have achieved nothing. Even if the Democrats only have 2 years to make some changes, they should go hard. Don’t let the conservatives veto everything.

Why are most of Americans presidentential candidates old and senile?
My sisters father in law at their age drive a car into a stationary fence and didn't even realise he had clipped it.
My mum's 69 and she is starting to become forgetful and has more health issues than ever before.

Kamala is the real candidate. If Joe wins she will take over in short order.
Reality always wins in the end.

You're right, Fluffy One, this is a very real possibility.
I don't know much about Kamala but I do know enough about the other 3 -- Trump/Biden/Pence -- to suggest that none of them is up to the Presidency. In fact I wouldn't put any of them in charge of a chook raffle.

Read somewhere that she does not have the voter appeal to be the Prez candidate, in fact is disliked by too many people. By contrast Joe can be presented as a decent old guy and a safe pair of hands, if you'll forgive the expression.
