Bernie's focus on the working poor.

9. Sanders would do no better getting his proposals through Congress as President

than he has done as a Senator. Presidents can propose things, but Congress must turn those proposals into law. Unfortunately, Senator Sanders has been very ineffective as a Senator and has not formed coalitions in that body that could push proposals through.

Presidents have limited powers. Unless they have the ability and personality that can assemble real coalitions, they find it difficult to make things happen. Sanders inability to bend or compromise would limit his effectiveness as a President.

Is he right? It doesn't matter if he gets nothing accomplished. In this country, incrementalism is the only effective path toward change. That is amply demonstrated by our national history.

That is also why Bernie Sanders cannot win a presidential election. He simply would not get the support of voters, who recognize the ineffectiveness of his overall approach toward governing.

That is why I support Joe Biden for President. He understands the processes that work in this country. His goals are achievable. Bernie's are not. It is that simple.

Finally, Bernie Sanders has only about 30% of support from voters. That is simply not enough to get elected, or even nominated, apparently.
