49. Of course he does. He'll lose big-time.

Mar 2020

Those primaries will take place, perhaps with a lower turnout, but they will take place.

Then, on Wednesday, Bernie Sanders should drop out of the race, given the coronavirus and other factors.

Will Bernie do what's right at this point? Doubtful.

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