I don't know what it is about Sanders that causes otherwise intelligent people like Bill Press to completely ignore context, completely forget political history, and completely ignore that Democrats other than Bernie Sanders have been fighting for the same issues for literally decades. But it happens all the time.

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