He's in it to win it, period. We're truly in dire straits and he understands we're on an edge.

I think he, like many Democrats, thought Hillary couldn't lose to Trump, so he felt more free to push her on policy without worrying about it costing her the election. He's not going to make that mistake again. It also helps that he has a good relationship with Biden, and Biden worked hard early on to make inroads and facilitate a smooth process for unification.

...for those who refuse to vote if it isn't Bernie.

Granted some can't be moved...or are from, an un-named country or countries trying to urge others not to vote. But I repeat myself.

Which was why I'm giving his his due respect here.

He did a great job trying to lead his people to Biden.

...did an excellent job tonight...

...I think Bernie had the best line of the whole evening...he said something like,

"Nero fiddled while Rome burned, Trump golfs..."

...that put a smile on my face...
