Coons Says the Senate Isn’t Working Because… well, I’ll let Coons say it
COONS: So top causes (of Senate polarization). We don’t live together. So we travel back and forth to our home states every week. For Delaware, I’ve traveled back and forth to my home state almost every day, so I’m an exception.
But for most of the Senate, listening to Joe Biden, my predecessor, and asking him how he and John McCain, for example, built a working friendship over decades, everyone would come in on Monday and stay until Friday, and often move their families here and often live here for long periods of time.
Senators need to live, love and pray together so Democrats can learn how to compromise better. Coons is very committed to this idea. Get a load of this…
…And when I got back, I made a point of going up to several, relatively, new senators who I overlap with on a committee, an area of interest, an area of background, but where we don’t really know each other that well.
And I said, bluntly, I want to come get to know you. I want to come to your state. I want to come to your home. I welcome you to mine. I’d like to go to worship together. I’d like to give a speech together. I’d like to find a way to legislate together. Because if there aren’t people I can work with, there is really no point in my being here, first.
They need to eat their Republican Sandwiches and pray together. That’s the ticket!
That was from September 2018. Coons’ heroic GOP ass-kissing campaign has yet to bear any fruit.
Whenever Coons is relaxed and being honest he says that the Democratic base has “a populist mob mentality” and the elites need to be unified in opposition to them. He is very consistent.
He’s the man of the hour, provided the hour is sometime in 1962.
“No – I can’t find a single instance of (Coons’ heroic GOP ass-kissing campaign ever swaying a Republican to change his/her vote) happening” 100%
I don’t think we’ve ever had a poll that ran for a week or so and ended up unanimous. I guess because this question asks for actual evidence…
Coons’s schtick is based on false and toxic platitudes like “In the end we all want the same thing…” and “We have more things in common that things that divide us.” No we don’t and we never did.
If he beats Scarane in the primary, I will vote for the GOP candidate in November.
Bad Democrats are more destructive to our cause than Republicans are.
Your statement is comical. Besides, since Mike Castle was dispatched by Christine O’Donnell there are only two candidates in Delaware’s statewide elections, the Democrat and the loser.
Doesn’t matter. I won’t vote for a Vichy Democrat.
“…since Mike Castle was dispatched by Christine O’Donnell there are only two candidates in Delaware’s statewide elections, the Democrat and the loser.“
Thanks. I agree. The Dem primary is the election. That’s why Dems should pick a Democrat.
6 poll takers say that “Yes, coons’ heroic GOP ass-kissing campaign ever swayed a Republican to change his/her vote”
And yet I don’t see any examples in any comment thread. Strange?
