Joe has to debate Bernie for his, and our, own good. AFTER that we likely can turn the page.

This will happen on March 15th, less than two weeks away. The Arizona Primary is just two days after that. It isn't a long time to wait to see if it's time to start the unity dance. But more important that the timing is the debate itself. Folks, we already no the next smear against Biden coming out of Trump world, I'm not revealing anything here that isn't already politically self evident and running wild on "the Internets". We already know their latest game plan. Trump and his minions have already started to say that Biden is "well past his prime", except that they use language more derogatory than that.

I've watched Joe Biden on a debate stage one on one against Paul Ryan 8 years ago and Joe destroyed Byan. Biden is an experienced debater. I also remember the times Biden, on the campaign trail, challenged people to "a push up contest" to vividly make the point that he's robust for his age. Let America watch Joe Biden stand toe to toe for over 90 minutes in a debate with a worthy adversary like Bernie Sanders and he will demolish the latest whisper campaign against him once and for all. There is no hiding any lack of mental agility during a long one on one debate and most of the nation will be watching. Biden doesn't have to "win", he just has to show up and perform credibly and that will be that, end of story, end of smear. Assuming that happens, and that is what I assume will happen, Biden should then win Arizona easily and become our unity candidate.
