His idea to stay in the race but not attack Biden is bull sh*t. His advocates would continue the barrage of attacks against Biden which is normally where attacks originate in political races. Him hanging around should hopefully convince the DNC and others that accommodating Bernie gets you nothing. He doesn't give a sh*t about what's best for the party. We need to begin treating him accordingly in all future decisions.

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