"to bring our people together around an agenda that speaks to all people"

It's not "what did they want to hear" in this instance. It's that they clearly don't need his boilerplate "lift all boats" answer. Some boats might be dinghys but they don't have the cops shooting at them and the current President inciting violence against them.

Sanders response was offensive, at best.

So, it's not "what did they want to hear," it's what they did hear that is the problem.

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