The Republicans who endorsed Biden in 2020 were suckers

The Republicans who decided to make a big show of endorsing Joe Biden during the 2020 election and throwing their lot in with the Democratic Party are shocked that Biden has never gone to them for advice since he became president. In other words, they got played, as everyone could have predicted.
Among the GOP endorsers whom the Biden campaign trotted out to show how unifying he would be, former New Jersey Gov. Christine Todd Whitman said no one from Biden’s team called her since just after Biden won. The same was true for former Missouri Rep. Tom Coleman, who said, “It would have been nice to say thank you after they won.” Former Connecticut Rep. Christopher Shays said no one contacted him, former New York Rep. Susan Molinari, or former Ohio Gov. John Kasich after Biden’s victory, either.

Shays even sent a letter lamenting that fact to former Democratic Connecticut Sen. Chris Dodd, a close ally of Biden who helped lead his search for a running mate. Shays said no one even bothered to take the time to thank Molinari or Kasich “to this very day.” Predictably, Shays didn’t hear back from Dodd, either.
None of this is a surprise. Biden has a 46-year track record in politics stretching back to 1973. He has been a toxic, divisive politician throughout his career, going back to his smears against Robert Bork and Clarence Thomas in his attempts to keep them off of the Supreme Court. During the 2012 election, he said Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan would put black people back in chains. The old “empathetic, Uncle Joe” routine he ran on was always malarkey. Anyone could see it.
So, too, could everyone see that Biden’s would be the most liberal presidency ever. His extreme stances on abortion and his refusal to rule out packing the Supreme Court showed that his administration would be in the clutches of the loudest liberal activists who believe in power at all costs and never compromise.

Evidently, the only people who didn’t realize this were the handful of Republican politicians who endorsed him and are only now realizing they got played. Many of them even seem to believe they still are Republicans, meaning that their decision to endorse Biden was based on an infantile understanding of Biden and the political moment we are in more so than on them simply being Democrats at heart.
Biden was never going to be a centrist, neither in rhetoric nor in policy. Those Republicans who wanted grand praise for trying to save the country from former President Donald Trump are suckers. Perhaps that explains why they lost their perches in the new-look Republican Party that they became so bitter toward.
