12. I don't have a problem, to a point

I don't know that Joe Biden is being a "sore winner", though I'm sure it can feel like that to some who support Sanders.

On one hand, we need to get every vote we can get, but history shows that some aren't going to do what's obviously in the best interest of the country because they'll be nursing hard feelings.

Some folks can't be won over, so to speak, no matter how conciliatory the victor is. That's just the way it is. We'll have to do everything we can to win without them.

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