Sanders bets on Biden debate implosion--Will they never get over this disproven concept? [View all]

Virtually the entire Democratic presidential primary has been predicated on one underlying assumption: the eventual collapse of Joe Biden.

More than a dozen of his erstwhile opponents bet their campaigns on it, and he’s proven them all wrong. But his last serious opponent standing, Bernie Sanders, is still clinging to the same belief — and that it will finally happen on Sunday night, under the bright lights of their one-on-one debate.
***“I don’t know if you’ve seen Joe Biden lately, but he doesn’t like to be told he’s wrong,” said a Sanders adviser. “We’re going to take him on around the issues and make him defend his record. He’s deflected on those in earlier debates because there’s so much chatter happening on the stage. But when you’re one-on-one, you change the dynamic.”


So I guess the theory is that if you stick it in Joe's face, he is going to implode, sort of like how he handled some hecklers I guess. Bernie's advisors worry that Sanders won't go for the throat because he has a soft sj
pot for friends. They are also hoping the coronavirus pandemic will focus voters on the health care issue proposed by Sanders, but the outbreak so far has favored Biden it seems. At any rate they are hoping for a seismic shift and an improbable comeback.

Steady as it goes Joe. Keep the ship on course and avoid the shoals right and left.
It is not the awesome plume of the nuke, but the shock wave on the ground that brings the force to bear. Joe has the votes on the ground on Tuesday, he will win the debate!

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