I’m the same way. Due to a pre-existing condition, I can’t even get out to go to the store. So my only time out of the house is walking the dog once a day.

We’ll get through this!

Bernie's forte is idealistic numbers. Practicality and empathy is 2nd rate or lower.

Regarding "flattening the curve", we all know what to do. Most of us , imho, underestimating the new length of the curve. okay, its math with a lot of educated guessed.

Regarding "electoral college", I wonder if Bernie and his staff have done the math.

Regarding "issues", Bernie is best off as the "elder statesman."

And Bernie, learn to make friends and hire better staff who can do the same.

You and everyone who can't visit their loved ones

Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders raised a massive sum in February -- more than $47 million, according to his campaign's filing Friday with the Federal Election Commission.

And he spent nearly as much: Burning through $45 million -- or more than three times the $13.1 million spent by Biden's camp in February

It Boggles my freaking mind!

What's To "ASSESS"?..

Despite the heavy spending, Sanders entered March with a substantial financial cushion of nearly $18.7 million in leftover cash, his filings show.

Sanders said this week he still was assessing the state of his campaign after the string of Biden victories had effectively closed his path to the Democratic presidential nomination.

Thank you for the article, George.. somebody had to do a write on this phenomenal difference in the cash flow.. and who WON sometimes with spending No Money!

but though we can't be in the same room or building for a while, we still communicate, and she is ready to see us move.. and Bernie is not going to win, and his waffling only ends up hurting us in the long run@@
