The inability of the BS campaign to accept this, move forward, and make the right decisions... well... it's a very good indicator of what a Sanders Administration would be like. It also indicates to me that a Sanders Administration wouldn't get very much accomplished.

All I'm trying to say is, if he (and staff) can't check their pride and ego at the door, and make simple and obvious decisions, then there's no way a Sanders Administration would be able to make the tough decisions.

It's my firm belief that all future chair and committee assignments should be contingent on his swift withdrawal and his full throated and sincere endorsement of Joe Biden... along with his continued, cooperative, and coordinated help in taking the fight directly to the GOP... and an immediate and permanent cessation of all hostilities, smears, lies, divisive and derogatory remarks about Democrats, the Democratic party, and Joe Biden.

There's really no two ways about it. Either he's with-us, or he's not. If he's an "ally" then he needs to start acting like one. If he cannot act like one, if he cannot get with the program... then the Democratic party (which he refuses to join) needs to stop affording him certain honors, assignments, privileges. I think that's a perfectly reasonable condition to make. There's nothing wrong with setting minimum standards and having higher expectations.

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