4. Bernie is an ideologue

The Sanders people have cried and yelled that they have a revolution a movement. They don’t and never have.

If you’ll recall the Bernie in 2008 was John Edwards. He was way to the left of Hillary and Obama. And so, two moderates beat him badly. He employed the exact same rhetoric as Bernie.

Bernie took over in 2016 and got clobbered by Hillary and now he’s getting clobbered again.

Bernie is an ideologue and has created a minor cult-like following that has no direction or perspective about political reality and practicality.

As of now, the only thing that can hurt Biden is the sour grape destructive (take the ball home when losing) force of some followers of Bernie…

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