It’s a life or death election.

to real issues and not bullshit like “Biden wants to cut social security!” or anything like that.

He will be seen as an opportunist willing to to risk losing the election to Trump just to feed his ego and ambitions.

... May not recover. Ever.

but the fact that he just opened up five new campaign offices in Pennsylvania day before yesterday (they don't vote til end of April) tells me that he just may just go full attack mode after all and try to win this thing.

Wiping out all student loan debt ain't happening either.

I remember when Elizabeth was criticized and attacked when she moved her position on M4A to emphasize that consumers should have a choice to opt-in to the program during a transition period instead of Bernie's version and his team got so angry. Not happy is an understatement.

where Biden was born but it is the only state left with a good amount of delegates besides New York and he won't do great there.

he thought it was "... good idea to primary President Obama"

He wanted to kneecap Obama's reelection. He wanted to damage him. I'll never forgive him for that.

He didn't want to do everything possible to protect and help our nation's first AA president to succeed and thrive... he only wanted to harm him or remove him.

Disgusting.

That's how I feel about it... others may feel differently, but those are my opinions.

His campaign staff has made the "scorched earth" philosophy abundantly clear.

I've lately heard Bernie refer to Biden as his friend.

It's insincere Senate "code talk" ... when you hear someone say: "My good friend Jim Inhofe from Oklahoma brings a snowball into the senate chambers as proof that global warming is a hoax" ... what they really mean is: "That dumb son of a bitch from from Oklahoma..."

Most reports are that they actually did have a pretty good relationship beforehand (at least as good as any friendship with Bernie is).

to primary Pres Obama" in 2012.

And, now..

And I'm not sure anyone is even paying attention, outside of Sanders supporters hoping for a miracle.

IMO.... bernie is going to be the one wishing he hadn’t challenged Joe

I don't know, maybe he changed, but the person I see now, along with his staff, has campaigned in ways I would expect from a republican, not a Democrat. I keep waiting for him to take the high road, but I don't think that is going to happen.

But from what I've seen coming out in the press about the debate, I'm less than impressed. Getting Biden to move a bit in the progressive direction is a good thing.

Needlessly attacking and weakening him makes 0 sense.

in the 2016 primaries. And I agree with you.

Only one opponent and everything Bernie has to throw at him we've heard before.

Remember how Biden made Paul Ryan look like a 14 year old child and laughed at him in the VP debate? I do.

I think the debate was good for Biden. It gave him a chance to seem presidential and assuage concerns people had about whether he is up to the task of taking on Trump and being president. And to lay out his plans in a little more detail than I've heard so far, which is probably due to the format of the multi-candidate debates.

As I predicted, this debate was more respectful than prior debates this cycle or in 2016. It was very substantive and you could tell Bernie and Joe don't hate each other.
