Good lord, everyone will start fawning over this fuck. Unless that already happened. It's hard to tell these days.

Lieberman: A President Biden will need a good republican like Senator Collins to work
with please a President Biden could work even better with a democratic Senator Sara
Gideon then Susan Collins.

BTW Susan Collins gave us Brett Kavanaugh as lifetime member of the SCOTUS and for
that alone she should be beaten soundly in this upcoming election.

President Biden could work even better with a Democratic Majority. Lieberman should have been confronted with serving us up more years of McConnell as Majority Leader.

Why on earth is he even talking? He certainly isn't helping matters. Go away Lieberman, no one wants to hear from you. Why don't you go down to South Carolina and campaign for your old buddy Lindsay Graham while you're at it?

He's the democratic party infiltrator that spoke for George Bush's republican convention against Democrats.

He's one of the worst things that ever happened to the democratic party, next to the DLC, of which he was a big part.

According to their coverage, Joe Lieberman no longer being a democratic Senator would be the end of the western world! THE FATE OF AMERICA RESTS ON THIS ONE DEMOCRAT STAYING IN OFFICE!

Amazing how fast these 'moderates' take their ball and go home to the republicons when they don't get their way.

He said that Biden needs a Republican like Collins to pass his agenda. That is total BS. If Collins wins then it’s likely that Republicans will retain control of the Senate which means that Biden will get NOTHING passed! Lieberman knows this and he’s trying to mislead voters so that Republicans keep control of the Senate. He infuriates me.

12. Two bad arguments:
Sun Sep 13, 2020, 10:37 AM
Sep 2020

(I couldn’t keep watching so someone can correct me if needed):

1) “she’s my friend”—that is not a good reason for OTHERS to vote for her, so why is he being interviewed? No one cares about his personal reasons.

2) “she is the most bipartisan of either party”—when one party puts forth legislation that undermines our democracy or our economy (eg the tax bill) the appropriate response is to consistently OPPOSE it. Collins still votes with Trump the vast majority of the time, and does NOT reflect the views of her constituents.

Lieberman is no longer relevant and I can't imagine anyone changing their opinion based solely on him.

He got a lot of insider info and wanted to stick it to the Muslims to appease Zionists.
He and Susan Collins both got ugly right around then.
