....in Vermont.

I understand what you're saying, but as a Senator from Vermont, what do all his supporters have vested in him personally?

These are unprecedented times, maybe even worse than the Dust Bowl and Great Depression. Our Party has to move on NOW, we can't waste time waiting for a petulant politician to lick his wounds and face reality.

I said this a couple of times today, until he withdraws and Biden becomes our presumptive nominee, a number of very important things remain on hold - endorsements from Barack Obama, Bill and Hillary Clinton, Nancy Pelosi, Chuck Schumer, and many other prominent Democrats. Also on hold is the DNC throwing the weight of their infrastructure behind Biden and they can't begin fundraising for him or running ads for him.

It's time, and we're wasting time. Hate to sound melodramatic, but the future of our country is on hold until Biden and ALL Democrats can begin the General Election campaign.

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