Biden is being respectful, Sanders is being disrespectful

Biden goes out of his way to call him Senator Sanders.

Sanders goes on and on saying "Joe", "Joe", "Joe".

It's MISTER Vice-President!!!!

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

Bernie doesn't have the temperament or demeanor for the job. If he can't handle a campaign successfully, then he'd never be able to handle the office of POTUS successfully. The staff and advisors we see today are a good clue to the type of staff and appointments we'd see in his administration. I can confidently say that nothing I've seen so far impresses me and some of the more toxic appointments/hires absolutely curdle my blood.
