It will be Sanders job to draw the distinction with Biden’s record and his own. It won’t be easy. The party is trying to make him the ‘blue no matter who’ heir apparent. His public displays of mental confusion may help.

It wouldn’t hurt to remind voters of his collaboration with some of the worst republicans and their legislative agenda. Tie him to that toxic party and remind voters how he’s looking to team up with the opposition in a running mate.

If Sanders can’t get it done the gallows consolation will be watching two devestatimgly awful boomers battle it out on stage debates. If we’re all gunna drown at least there’ll be a show.

What is Sander's plan for getting MFA past a Republican filibuster?


I don't know if he's exactly up to the task now, but Biden used to know how those sorts of things were done. If Sander's can't Make It So via Executive Fiat, he has no idea how to actually accomplish any of his legislative agenda.

I'm not positive that "I'm so bad at working with the other side that I'm totally incompetent to the task of achieving my goals!" is a selling point for a Presidential candidate.
