My wife is reminding me that she proposed a Bernie/Biden or Biden/Bernie (depending on who got the nomination) unity ticket this past weekend. Great minds think alike?
I WITHDRAW MY SUGGESTION.

Why does everyone assume Bernie would go for this even if Biden was open to it?
I totally acknowledge he likely wouldn't. This is a hypothetical thought exercise on the 15% chance he would say "heck yeah, I've always wanted to live in a naval observatory."

Warren OUT.

From the NY Times:

And so, after all the tumult, the Democratic race has come down to this: two straight white septuagenarian men fighting over the soul of the party — whatever that turns out to be.

Let us state that Mr. Biden and Mr. Sanders have many fine qualities. Either would make a better president than the unstable man-child currently degrading the office. That said, for the party of progress, youth and diversity, a final face-off between two lifelong politicians born during World War II leaves much to be desired. And it says something depressing about the challenges women candidates still confront in their quest to shatter the presidential glass ceiling.

That's a key distinction.

Bummed that Warren couldn’t make in roads as she was at the top of my list.. as some smarter than I person said in a different time she have made a great president but we are too broken due to 45...

Also, a lot of smart and thoughtful people with blue check marks I follow were indicating their support for her, which is part of the problem

warren's supporters were well informed and passionate, but not to the point of insults
Some of her support is going to the bern, wonder what the half-life is on that

Almost every Warren supporter will vote for the nominee in the end

I see now that NKOTB's mission to turn us all into Berners has failed, he's buggered off again. 

Best of luck in your next mid-level marketing scheme.  But there's always your thread, where we love you for who you really are...

Ouch
Honestly think he was somewhat restrained compared to 2016

And he rarely took the poison bait that was often put in a bear trap here

I don’t think this campaign to demean Bernie supporters is going to bear any fruit... not sure why it’s the most popular sport

Was he on here in 2016 supporting Bernie?


NKOTB is a real nice guy...I want to doubt he has left the building

Anyone know if he is in Michigan currently?

As our Michigan correspondent, I can confirm he is not. I called everyone and asked.
