What will his future role be in the Senate? It's my firm belief that all future chair and committee assignments should be contingent on his swift withdrawal and his full throated and sincere endorsement of Joe Biden... along with his continued, cooperative, and coordinated help in taking the fight directly to the GOP... and an immediate and permanent cessation of all hostilities, smears, lies, divisive and derogatory remarks about Democrats, the Democratic party, and Joe Biden.

There's really no two ways about it. Either he's with-us, or he's not. If he's an "ally" then he needs to start acting like one. If he cannot act like one, if he cannot get with the program... then the Democratic party (which he refuses to join) needs to stop affording him certain honors, assignments, privileges. I think that's a perfectly reasonable condition to make. There's nothing wrong with setting minimum standards and having higher expectations.

As a party, we deserve better. As a body, the Senate deserves better. As a nation, we deserve better... and the only way that's going to happen is if EVERYONE (that includes Bernie Sanders) is on the same page, working in unison to get rid of Trump and to defeat the GOP.

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