Rick Newman on Biden unifying the country

Biden has the temperament to be a unifying force in Washington, with many deep friendships in both parties and an affable personality resistant to grudges. He won’t be attacking everybody who disagrees with him or criticizes him, as Trump did.  And it’s important to start his term with a civil tone that might calm frayed nerves in many corners of the country. 

But come on.  The United States is deeply divided for reasons that go far beyond Trump, and much of it involves willful self-deception by Americans clinging to illusions they prefer over reality.  Biden can’t change that and it would be a waste of effort to try.
