I have every reason to believe that the vast majority of Bernie’s followers are more attracted to his policies than they are to Bernie, himself. Give us Democratic control of the Senate and eliminate the filibuster. If we can do these two things, Joe Biden can be our new FDR, and Bernie (while deserving credit for pushing us to the left) will be little more than a memory.

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