Biden's Foresight: You're Not Ready for the Truth

This is Biden, just before the election:

I promise you, you are all gonna be sitting here a year from now going, 'Oh, my God, why are they there in the polls, why is the polling so down, why is this thing so tough?" Biden said at a fund-raiser in Seattle just before the election. "We're gonna have to make some incredibly tough decisions in the first two years. So I'm asking you now, I'm asking you now, be prepared to stick with us. Remember the faith you had at this point because you're going to have to reinforce us." Predicting a deficit "that may be as high as $750 billion" -- how quaint that sounds -- Biden told the crowd, "Only thing I'm asking you is, you know, gird your loins.

Quite startling, and speaks to both the unreality of our politics and the lack of staying power from many Democrats.
