If you truly believe that the "primary is over"... then you'd also throttle-back on the backhanded smears and the passive-aggressive swipes and other assorted cheap-shots (ie: "meh" and "not compelling" and "exploitable deficits" and "disappointing" and "nobody I know supports him") those things are wrong, and wrong-headed.

All I'm saying (and I'm being perfectly honest with you here) all that whining and griping and swiping and flat-out negativity certainly does NOT sound like someone who has accepted that the "primary is over".

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