he ran as a moderate, won as a moderate. every single progressive got rejected. like, the debates were crazy. they were talking about reimplementing busing. they wanted to give health care to illegal immigrants. like, it was so come across the border, and we ll give you health care. it was so wildly out of the mainstream of where about 80% of americans are. biden ran as a moderate. biden won as a moderate. biden decided. his people around him, i guess, decided that he was going to govern as a leftist. it has failed miserably in the expectations game. when he s worked, when he s gotten things done, he s gotten things done as a moderate. said, hey, let s have a bipartisan infrastructure bill. hey, let s do a bipartisan covid relief bill. hey, why don t we work on being effective in distributing vaccines? the common sense approaches, those moderate approaches, that
