I bet there's a lot that Bernie's people were banking on that just isn't so, like having congress pass Medicare for all. It'll be hard enough to get votes for Biden's public option.

Pandemic is the main reason for me. In crisis, I want a battle hardened experienced leader even if he makes gaffes and is forgetful. He's got Obama's seal of approval.

And the worst of Bernie's bros are just plain deplorable and I'm tired of the excuses for their behavior.

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