Sure he's better from a policy standpoint, but his campaign has been absolutely pathetic and disgraceful. It's like he's TRYING to destroy the party.

16. If someone hadn't seen the clip
Tue Mar 3, 2020, 11:49 PM
Mar 2020

what would they see? I assume you mean a transcript.

Basically, what I heard was:

"If this is about the working people, fairness, health care and education, then I will be the nominee! My opponents are corrupt sell-outs and corporatist shills who enact horrible policies, so if this is about really bad things then they will win."

He mentioned "an opponent who stood up in the Senate and said" .... meaning Biden.

What happened to uniting behind the nominee? Will he be compelling his followers to unite behind a corrupt corporate shill who isn't him?

Shades of 2016, all over again.
