Frankly, I won't watch Sunday's debate.
I won't watch either. He'll use it as a platform to smear the Democratic party. It needs to end. NOW! This serves no good purpose. It's just giving false hope to his most die-hard fans... and it will make their transition and acceptance of reality unnecessarily difficult.
The Democratic party will be his main target. It's the high-level staff members who attack Biden with RW talking points and other smears that originate in Russia to the likes of Cenk Uygur, Michael Moore, Cornell West, David Sirota, Brianna Gray, Nina Turner, Matt Orfalea, Phillip Agnew... and then act all "shocked" that they're "going rogue" without his approval.
As Biden and his campaign and all other stalwart Democrats strive to show how the Democrats are BETTER than the GOP... Bernie is busy telling everyone that there's "no difference between Democrats and the GOP" and "both parties are the same". And that the Democrats "are the party of the one-percent" and that we're "corrupt".
I keep waiting for some Bernie fan somewhere to please explain to me how these LIES do anything other than create resentment and suspicion? How does it encourage voters to support Democrats? It's nothing but negativity. Negativity generates apathy. Apathy discourages voter turnout. Low voter turnout gives Republicans a chance to steal the elections.

Boy I will. This stuff is fascinating. Besides, I think they'll both hit 45 hard.

I have no interest and when Sanders loses every state on Tuesday...maybe he will drop out.
