(4,035 posts)He knows that as long as he is not the presumptive nominee, and until Senator Sanders concedes or the convention, he won't be the presumtive nominee or the nominee out right, he cannot attack a 'fellow' party member. That's not how it's done in the Democratic party. In the Republican Party, Trump spewed out personal attacks on his opponents, and Senator Sanders attacks the Democrati Party while his campaign staff handles the personal attacks on his opponent, but VP Biden holds himself to a higher standard. And he isn't going to trample on party customs, even if I think he should. For Senator Sanders is holding up not only the campaign against Trump, he is also materially damaging the Democratic Party's fights in down-ticket races. Only the presumptive nominee can release the money raised for down-ticket races, and it is abundantly clear that Senator Sanders don't care about the down-ticket races unless he gets a quid pro quo. He doesn't fundraise for them unless they endorse him.
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
