And worse some in the press think this is a good thing for the coming struggle.

Here is the thing, though.

Barack Obama's support is (& was) wide, deep and stable. It remained so without the need to villify or ridicule allies.

Bernie's support & even his campaign alienates friends. One of his top staffers claimed "birtherism!" in response to a medical records question. That is absurd.

Bernie's supporters need a thicker skin. The candidate needs to move into the 21st century. Then, Senator Sanders would have a chance to unite us all.

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