Nice dream, but utterly impossible after a reign of terror like Trump's. A Biden presidency is exactly what the Trumpers of the world would dream of if they had to endure any defeat.
A Biden presidency would give them the target rich environment that they desire.
Ready for eleven back to back Hunter Biden investigations?

Nope...sorry Perotista, but in the words of several very prominent strategists, "The Republican Party must be utterly destroyed in order to rebuild it". The appropriate response to Trump is not a spoonful of pablum and reruns of "Friends" on the Turner channel.
Friends is fun to watch but that world no longer exists.
9/11 didn't destroy it, Trump did.

And his little friends are watching the HAL TURNER channel.

I'm not worried about the Republican Party, sending it to the trash heap of history wouldn't bother me one bit. I'd also like to see the Democratic Party join it.

Here's a prediction, I'm sure the Democrats will nominate one of its far leftist. Because of the egotistic oaf we have as president, that leftist wins along with the Democrats gaining the senate. The Democrats will view this as a mandate for them when it was a vote against Trump, not necessarily for them or their nominee. The senate Democrats will completely eliminate the filibuster to rush through their leftist agenda. But they go too far which lets the GOP regain control of the House in 2022.

We seen this play out after the election of 2008 with 2010 happening. Little steps are fine with most Americans, they tend to rebel against gigantic steps. Especially when they aren't listen to. We have a growing number of independents, rising from 30% in 2006 to 40% of the electorate today. Neither party can win elections without attracting independents as Hillary found out. Perhaps pablum is what these folks are looking for in the form of steady, reliable leadership. Not a push to the far right or far left. We'll see as you have my forecast in writing.

It's high past time that we start electing Americans to congress and the presidency who put America first instead of their political party. For way too long we have been electing Republicans and Democrats who happen to be Americans instead of Americans who happen to be Republicans and Democrats.
