Coons has taken his victory lap on TV and in Delaware City and that’s great. Good for you Chris. But’s let’s look at what passes for Coons style bipartisan comity and understand what a bogus pile of bullshit we are looking at.
1) Coons gave a speech about “darn it, I just think we should be our better selves” or something.
2) Coons himself admits that his audience for that speech was one person – Jeff Flake.
3) Flake was the only audience for Coons’ speech because it is abundantly clear to everyone (including Coons) that NO OTHER PERSON in the entire GOP gave/gives a fuck about Coons style bipartisan comity. Coons might as well have been speaking to the ghost of Tip O’Neill for all the difference it made to the GOP members of the committee.
4) Flake, however, is leaving the Senate.
5) Flake also likes Coons having taken an adventure holiday in Africa with him.
Do we see any future in Chris Coon style bipartisan comity?
Can he take Lindsey Graham on an adventure holiday to Africa? And even then, can Lindsey pre-announce that he isn’t running again? No, and no.
It is utterly impossible for Coons to produce another rabbit from his bipartisan comity hat.
