OMFG. Again?
Biden at a fundraiser tonight, on his desire to work with the Republican Party post Trump.— Sam Stein (@samstein) June 11, 2019
“With Trump gone you’re going to begin to see things change. Because these folks know better. They know this isn’t what they’re supposed to be doing."

I fear that treating those Republicans like flying monkeys just waiting for their witch to melt isn’t really banking on a realistic outcome.— Schooley (@Rschooley) June 11, 2019
Acting as if defeating Trump will magically turn around the years spent turning state legislatures into bad policy incubators is not only much more naive than what I think Biden really believes, it’s a danger to down ballot Democrats fighting these regressive micreants.— Schooley (@Rschooley) June 11, 2019
To be fair to Biden, he's right: once a Democrat is President, Republicans will suddenly become extremely interested in oversight, accountability, and impeachment, just like they were from 2008-2016 and 1992-2000.— Max Kennerly (@MaxKennerly) June 11, 2019
Why Biden thinks that shows Republican virtue is anyone's guess.
Hey, Joe -- Just stick to hammering Trump, please. Every time this fantasy rolls out, it deflates Dems who've been awake for the last 10 years -- and who "know better."
BONUS: Betty Cracker at Balloon Juice has a good write-up on this "Trump is an aberration" strategy.
