Let the man concede he has lost the contest to be nominated for President by the Democratic Party, let him forswear publicly any attempts at blackmailing disruption over platform and rules at the convention, and let him give a full-throated endorsement of Mr. Biden. No one will mention his name again.

Of course, that could be why he does not do these things....



"When things are not called by their right names, what is said cannot make sense. When what is said does not make sense, what is planned cannot succeed. When plans do not succeed, people become uneasy. When people are uneasy, punishments do not fit crimes. When punishments do not fit crimes, people cannot know where to put hand or foot."

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