   		I was willing to believe it because I have met some of them in my   
   youth and there are a lof white people who will vote for someone who is   
   willing to tell them that they are better than any black person.  Obama's   
   election flipped a switch on them and they moved behind Trump. Biden's   
   election which was wasted in many way due to his 20th Century sensibiliites.   
   He thought that the Republicans would play by the rules and he should have   
   known better after Moscow Mitch McConnell interfered with Obama's   
   Presidential perogative to name a Member of the Supreme Court for   
   approval by the Senate.  McConnell is a racist and a frustrated one at   
   that because when Obama assumed office, McConnell vowed that he   
   would be a one-term president.  McConnell was frustrated in that ambition   
   and as a result frustrated the attempts by the President to get better   
   laws in many fields besides the denial of a vote on the President's   
   candidate for SCOUSA.
