2. And true Dems coalesce behind a true Dem not a sometime Dem.

He never learned the strength of belonging to a party/ Sanders' big mistake was dipping in and out of the party just when he wanted to run for president. And being a socialist of course.

If he had just joined the party and stayed in he might've won our nomination, either last time or this time and he'd be the one announcing platform planks.

Of course he would've had to stop attacking the Democratic Party establishment.

Pragmatism and compromise were never his strong points though. Too bad.

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