22. That Is Not How It Works. BS Does Not Get The Nomination By Default...

...If something did happen to Biden. Indeed, by continuing to campaign against Biden and encourage his supporters to hope for something to happen to Biden the way his surrogates seemed to hold out for a Hillary indictment is incredibly divisive and would more likely undercut his chances of securing the nomination, particularly if it looks like Bernie's campaign cheerleaded for something to happen.

On top of that, this is about helping the American people and beating Trump. This is not all about Bernie. Biden and other candidates have run ads attacking Trump. At best, Bernie runs ads attacking billionaires, but then turns around and suggests his opponents are acting at the behest of those billionaires, which promotes Bernie's false equivalency.

I understand that you believe in Bernie, but to what end? How does this help the American people if BS is just running for the sake of running. Worse, if at the end, he forces Biden to spend campaign resources defending himself against BS, then BS has once again helped Trump, which will hurt the American people.

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