If a Republican senator cast a vote out of craven political cowardice, do you really think he’d admit that to Joe Biden?
That’s what the Veep wants us to believe. In a Dem fundraising email from Bident that just turned up in my inbox, Biden wrote [emphasis added]: “When I asked several Republican senators after they voted against background checks, not one offered an explanation on the merits of why they couldn’t vote for them. But almost to a person, they said, “I don’t want to take on Ted Cruz. I don’t want to take on Rand Paul. They’ll be in my district.”
