was his hiring of non-Democrats to fill major roles on his staff. And by non-Democrats, I mean advocates of some sort of "revolutionary" change. His staffers' rhetoric was divisive from the very beginning of the campaign, and prior to it, even.

Fortunately, Democratic voters understood and voted for Biden, once he had shown that he could win a state with a serious margin. Once that happened, a number of other moderate candidates dropped out and endorsed Joe. Then, the voters responded in an unmistakable way in the ensuing primaries.

Now, as the primary season continues, Sanders has an opportunity to lead his supporters to support Biden. If he will do that, victory in November is certain. If he will not, it is less certain.

His staff, however, will continue follow its "revolutionary" path. More's the pity.

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