an internet "happy hour" aimed at young voters today. Apparently Joe Biden is alive and well, eh?

Where's Bernie? When can I see him on the TV?

that as long as the Democrats nominate a "generic Democrat" -- not Bernie -- then they would trounce Trump.

What Bernie supporters hate about Joe is that he's a generic Democrat, but that's a large part of his appeal to the majority.

Almost no one I came across said they were going to vote because someone, anyone, but especially Joe Biden, had made their heart sing.

not just about electability...Sanders thought he could win the lazy way...win a divided primary with 30%. He never tried to grow his support but it didn't work. And now he has little support compared to Biden and the revolution is on life support. I have always like Biden...and have disliked Sanders since the General in 16 and he made no effort to appeal to Clinton voters...he hired people who hated Hillary and voted for Jill Stein. It seriously serves him right. He did this to himself.
