In fairness , that could be a clever rhetorical play. They will never get concensus, but could win him normie votes in the interim. Politicians do that all the time. Biden said he was going to cancel student debt, knowing full well it would never hold up in the courts, but it made him look good at a time when his public image was in the bin.
“If we can get a consensus on it, if Republicans and Democrats agreed and it passed Congress, I would sign it.”

He is widening his voter base. He probably has the widest out any anyone to be honest. Too wide perhaps.
Exactly, it feels like a standard political manipulation tactic because the scenario he laid out will obviously never happen.
