DAVENPORT,Iowa(AP) -- Campaigning in one of the nation's key U.S. Senate contests, Vice President Joe Biden said Monday that keeping Democratic control of the chamber would "break the back of the hard right" and ease gridlock in Washington.
Biden said next week's choice between Democrat Bruce Braley and Republican Joni Ernst for the open Senate seat in Iowa was critical to the outcome. If Braley wins and the Democrats maintain their majority, he said, the Republicans in Congress will be open to compromising with Democrats on issues such as raising the federal minimum wage.
"If that happens and it will, what's going to happen is it's going to break the back of the hard right," he said. "You are going to see many reasonable people in the Republican Party start to vote reasonably again. Not exactly like we do. But they are going to be open to the kind of compromise that's always allowed this nation to move forward."

Heard he was talking to a huge crowd of 150 people!;)
Dumb as a turkey dropping.
If they win, it will be fraud and illegals. Simple as that.
Wrong.
We freedom fighters are just as devoted and determined for our cause if not more so, as you are for your cause of socialism.
But I thought that the TEA party was already dead.
Must
Stop
Americans

Hey joe, when the republicans win will more democrats
be open to compromise? Thought not.
How do you stop ordinary citizens, that normally are apathetic, from getting involved? This term ‘tea party’ is a misnomer and of course the libtards Alinsky it to death.
I personally think the ideas of Alinsky stem from fear.
Neither him or his blundering followers in the GOPe will stop us!!!
Don’t you just love their delusions? They vote “reasonably” (to destroy the country) but Republicans don’t.
Everything the libs support is unreasonable and only for their own personal gain.
What is he talking about? According to stretch-face it’s just AstroTurf.
They are in trouble. Rick Perry brought out twice as many folks in Smithfield, NC than Hillary did in Charlotte.
Quitting is for Democrats.
I thought his son was the one caught with drugs..?
He says it like it is a bad thing?
Pray America wakes
But sen Reid said the TeaParty died...two years ago!
I do hope that the continuing spewing of such hate by these anti-American LIB hacks will only further invigorate and motivate those who love Free America and its established ideals to fight these ignorant LIB asshats to their deserved complete failure.
Sadly this is so true. I was just telling a friend I have no hope for Nov. elections. The pattern is already repeating itself, 1st Republicans winning, 2nd races tightening, 3rd Dems pull it out with the large nearly-solid Democratic county putting them over by not reporting until the next day. Breaks my heart.
