He's in charge now. He can coast in. Now he has to start the general election, and that means not worrying about Sanders.

Rancor turns a lot of voters off. If he's congenial as only he can be, and takes it easy, that will provide such a contrast to both Sanders and Trump.

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

Now he can really turn that up to 11 and dazzle the undecideds.

what's his name... Paul Ryan. I think he and Bernie will show what they have to offer and I am sure Joe will be the victor in that debate. Bernie has one tone and little volume control. And Joe has that compassion we need so badly right now that he should show that. I think it will be a slam dunk.

Biden can pivot to the general now. The wind is at his back. Acknowledge Sanders but don't punch down.

and show empathy for what they're going through in terms of student debt, housing and jobs.

Sanders can rant and rave all he wants, but Biden will win the day with his drama-free approach and personality. People are so over the rancor and daily outrage we've been going through for years.

Look Presidential, put out the plans he has for the country. BS is a lot like Trump, he needs attention as much as air and water. He is so cock sure of himself, he is incapable of thinking clearly.
