"The voice of Bernie Sanders will not calm a nation."

Comments like this, I feel, are divisive and counter productive on so many levels.

It's time to bring the party, all the candidates and all their supporters together to address the corona virus pandemic that is being grossly mishandled by Trump.

It's time to move beyond sniping and bickering.

Biden and Sanders should announce a fusion ticket and end the campaign now.

Biden as President, Sanders as VP.

We need all our Democratic leaders, and that includes Joe Biden, to focus on the corona virus response.

President Obama should endorse this fusion ticket and add his voice and experience to planning to deal with the pandemic.

If an advocate for Sanders is going to post this as a basis for supporting him, I'm going to critique it as a reason not to.

"The voice of Bernie Sanders will not calm a nation."

Comments like this, I feel, are purely divisive and offer 0% productive criticism.

It's time for all Democrats to put the bickering and sniping behind us and for our party to offer an urgent and coherent response to the health crisis we are now facing.

Trump's mishandling of the corona virus pandemic has endangered millions of lives, crashed the stock market and is destroying what's left of his popularity.

He will lose the general election in an epic defeat of biblical proportions.

Democrats should unite and provide the coherent leadership the nation needs in this time of crisis.

He's going to lose the general election in a landslide.

Pardon my "flowery" words in the previous post, but winning in 2020 won't be the issue.

The issue is how we as Democrats and our Democratic leadership step up now in this time of crisis.

Is this supposed to win him the nomination?

While I admire him for addressing this issue, he's toast, he should drop out and throw his support to Joe Biden and start attacking the Mango Menace rather than Dems.
