Even though Bernie steadily fell further behind in delegates as the primary season progressed, he was still winning lot of states...in part because many more were caucuses. Delegate math aside, it still looked pretty close on a map when colored in. This map so far is looking horrible for him, and the longer it goes the more people will see Biden blue almost everywhere they look.

So many things have fallen perfectly into place the last 2 weeks...you couldn't have scripted it any better if you tried. The final piece would be for Sanders to bow out gracefully and seal the deal. Then Bernie and Joe can get together and hammer out what things from the progressive agenda Biden thinks are realistic and affordable and thus doable.

Getting hammered over and over again is not good for progressives...it only makes them look weaker than they really are. Better to stop opposing each other in futility and start working together in unity.

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