After today, Biden must step up and put some gravitas behind what the Dems did in Barr hearing today

He may want to stay above the fray but he is the person who can speak to the issue in ways that will bet many of the Trumpsters to learn the truth.

There is a thread of patriotism among most red-staters that has not been framed in the right way by our side. Biden could get them to see that Trump is literally handing over the reigns of our government to Russia. They have become entrenched into our country in ways most people do not even recognize. Is this what alll those who fought and died for during the "cold war?"

The GOP and Trump get us to hating each other as they destroy our laws, regulations, and as they go about embedding in our banks and financial system, the Executive Branch of our government, and exercise influence over us in devious ways.

Biden can frame this issue in a way to make the FOX-brainwashed think hard about what is going on.

The mess that will be going on for a while could damage or distract the candidates. I don't think they should get involved other than a comment that the House is doing a great job, our government at work for the people, etc.

Trump supporters know the truth, they just don’t give a shit, and hearing Joe Biden of all people talk about it isn’t going to make them suddenly care.
