In reply to the discussion: CBS Boston: Joe Biden Shuts Down Bernie Sanders In Final Democratic Debate [View all]Hav
(5,969 posts)Biden just recently adopted a plan for affordable/limited free public college and university and credited Bernie for the idea. He also stressed that BS has good ideas. That free tuition proposal is reaching out to both BS and the young voters. BS in his reply didn't see the positive that something he pretends to care about will definitely be a part of the Dem platform, whoever is the nominee. He rambled on and for long, he couldn't give Biden any credit and when he finally did, it was rather sarcastic.
On another instance of Biden reaching out to BS, Biden asked BS to join him in the fight for public financing to take away the influence of big money. Again, that is a topic BS pretends he cares about. But his reply was no, he won't join Biden, Biden should join him instead without even mentioning for what. So don't say Biden blew it when he tried what you wanted repeatedly.
BS didn't want to find common ground and reach common goals with Biden. The reverse was true. Whenever Biden came over to BS' position, BS rejected that. Bernie is only about Bernie. It should be clear by now that BS has no interest in working together with others for the good of the country. If you want to see how someone acts who honestly cares more about the issues than her own ambitions, look at Warren or pretty much all the other real Dems in the race.
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
