If Democrats listen to Joe Biden's eulogy of John McCain, they win in 2020

Only the coldest hearts could walk away from Biden’s speech rolling their eyes. Even evangelicals, who hate Biden’s principles, had to have been endeared to Biden’s personality.

They have learned to be transactional and politically thrifty after electing on certain conditions a thrice divorced philanderer from New York City.
