Bernie Sanders just FLATTENED Trump. Basically said "Lead or get out of the way."

I don't have exact quotes for you because I was listening live, but at the beginning of his remarks he said something like "If president Trump is unwilling or unable to lead, we need to take bipartisan action in Congress."

Said every common sense thing you'd expect to hear from a President, from listening to the medical professionals to making sure that people without healthcare and with limited means are cared for.

Unbelievable that these things needed to be said, but many of you heard Trump last night. He's not only in over his head...he just doesn't care, period.

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

...and it was all sound and reasonable. Probably one of the single most damning indictments I've heard of Trump to date, not because he hammered Trump, but because he laid out all of the things Trump SHOULD be doing, and ISN'T doing.

it would really help if Bernie would quit the race, because if he attacks Biden he gives trump ammo for the campaign.

solely to attack Trump and offer practical and accurate information, and to reinforce Joe's message delivered earlier today. The media would be obliged to cover them both and so a core message of blasting Trump and the KGoP for their abysmal response to the crisis might have more impact.

But no more attacks on Vice President Biden or "establishment Democrats" or what have you. And no more attacks from surrogates.

We have to come together--all of us--to weather this crisis and then rid our body politic of this scourge and his cronies and enablers.

Biden basically said: here, here's my plan trump. Take it. Free of charge. This is so important we can not wait for the next president to tackle this. If you have any questions, call me.

Same here. He's been so insulting and demeaning toward the Democratic party for so long, I tune him out. So much negativity and attacks to divide Democrats for so long, well, I've just gotten to the point where I can't stand to listen to his voice. I figure if there's anything actually "newsworthy" worth reporting then I can catch it on the 6 o'clock news. At this point, not so much, other than not going on the offensive against Democrats or Biden... that seems to be the main takeaway so far.
