I asked myself, "Don't the debate moderators choose the questions? Why would there be any questions that Bernie Sanders knows about that Joe Biden does not?".

I tell you what I think might be going on. For pretty much anyone who has been in politics for a while, there are certain questions that they do not like to answer or prefer not to answer because there may not be a good answer. I think that Bernie is giving Biden questions that he knows Biden will not want to answer, or that are loaded questions, and then, after Bernie gives Biden the questions, he will ask Biden those questions at the debate, and when Biden tries not to answer, he may start saying. "Well, I gave you those questions in advance. Why are you not answering them?"

This may be a last gasp desperation trick on the part of Bernie Sanders to try and make Joe Biden look bad. I do not trust Bernie Sanders because I have seen his surrogates push all manner of lies, and I have seen Bernie Sanders never put a stop to it. Therefore, I believe he is fully in support of making Joe Biden look bad through whatever means is necessary. I just do not trust Bernie Sanders at this point as to his motivation for giving Joe Biden questions in advance.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for:
Joe Biden
