Sanders Offers Biden A Path To Win Over His Movement [View all]

From Arnie Seipel at NPR:

Sanders promised to show up at the debate on Sunday in Arizona to face Biden one-on-one, and basically offered him a cheat sheet: "Let me be very frank as to the questions that I will be asking Joe."

Sanders listed off issues central to his campaign, which he says are very important to younger progressives: health care costs, climate change, income inequality, student debt, racial disparities in criminal justice, immigration and housing affordability.

So why tip Biden off to how you're going to challenge him on Sunday? Maybe Bernie Sanders wants Joe Biden to succeed.


I sure hope he does... but I'm also seeing a lot of "Bernie or Bust" rhetoric coming from his supporters. This piece does offer me some hope that there might be a way for Bernie to talk down his die-hard supporters and for Biden to offer substantive policies to allay the genuine concerns progressives might have on vital issues.
If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for:
Joe Biden
