Joe Biden Gives Lessons on How a Winning Candidate Sounds

I hope Bernie Sanders watched Biden's remarks on the COVID-19 pandemic. It was an example of how a presidential candidate should behave in front of a camera. It illustrates why Biden is running away with this primary election.

I hope that, on Sunday, the "debate" will become a discussion of how our nation can best deal with its immediate and long-term challenges. If Bernie Sanders realizes that the primary race is already over in all practical terms, he can interact with the future Democratic nominee in a way that benefits both men and the nation at the same time.

I do not know if Senator Sanders can rise to that occasion. If, instead, he goes on the attack, I hope Joe Biden deals with any attacks quickly and bluntly, and then moves on to discuss his plans for the future. If Bernie comes in ready to have a discussion, then I'm sure Joe Biden will be happy to participate on that basis.

This Sunday's debate will be an pop quiz on what lesson Bernie Sanders learned from today's remarks by Joe Biden.

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

I am doing my best to live until November . Joe makes you feel safe, 45 makes you think you need to dig a bunker in your back yard, or just go off to work with no worries depending on the day.
