(54,738 posts)Would he be reaching out to Biden for advice on how to improve his campaign? Would he be interested in advice on not promising far more than he can ever deliver, and thus set up his own one-term presidency?
I think it is exceptionally wise for resisting the temptation to tell their own constituency that they will make everything available in abundance, and affordably so, within six weeks of taking office. With the disastrous policies of Trump/Mnuchin/McTurtle, it will take MANY years--if ever--before we can ever get back to some kind of fiscal solvency. I have always said it takes but a few seconds to blow up a building. It takes years to rebuild it. I applaud the Biden/Harris campaign for their reluctance to lie about what they can accomplish, and hope they resist efforts to convince them to abandon the strategies that got them the nomination in the first place.
