Jack Markell is full of it as well. His 760,000 word editorial never addresses the fact that Coons’ version of bipartisan comity is a sham because it will never be reciprocated by Republicans who haven’t been on an Adventure Holiday to Africa with Coons, and who are ALSO not running for anything.
While he allows early on that nothing will probably come of Coons’ recent triumph of bipartisan comity, he then drones on for what seems like hours without ever mentioning that the modern GOP is the problem. They have NOBODY (that isn’t named Flake) interested in Coons style bipartisan comity. “Potemkin Village” actually over-states how legitimate Coons style bipartisan comity is.
No convinced? Look up who else was on that Adventure Holiday with Coons and see how they vote on Kavanaugh. Two things need to be in place for Coons style bipartisan comity to work. The cross-the-aisle buddy has to be NOT RUNNING FOR ANYTHING, and must have been on an Adventure Holiday with Coons.
