4. Bernie fatigue is highly infectious and quickly fatal

Two (identical) speeches and Bernie lost me. Some people needed a higher dose of identical speeches to come to the same conclusion.

Here is the thing. Anger motivated campaigns rarely succeed. It takes too much energy to stay angry for a long time (although many like Cenk Uygur have managed it.)

Hope, decency and normalcy driven campaigns attract the American spirit of perpetual optimism.

VP Biden has one additional thing going for him -- Trump is now a "known quantity" -- an advantage Secretary Clinton didn't have.

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