He doesn't know his strategy, he is thinking things through. He is deciding when to endorse Biden, and what to do afterwards. He must have had higher expectations, then what materialized . That is it.

is that Joe Biden implodes before the convention, and a draft Cuomo scheme doesn't take off.

back in so soon after a heart attack. He’s needing all the strokes he can get from his young followers and the squad, and his ego won’t let him quit only to see Biden, the “corporate candidate,” crowned the official nominee.

He can only stave off reality for so long.

...to his General Election campaign against trump, leaving Sanders in his wake.

He's not interested in any more debates, he said there's nothing new to debate, and he's got some hard work to do.

I hope the upper levels of the Democratic Party do the same thing - the Clintons, Obama, Pelosi, Schumer, etc. should all rally around Biden and support him starting now.

to use any means to get the nomination. He and many of his supporters have made that obvious.
Bernie is showing his contempt for the Democratic party that has decisively rejected him.

there is a little bang. The bang isn't happening and just looks more and more pathetic that makes it more and more a whimper. Sad to see.

Is to sulk. Perhaps, he is calculating the odds of Joe getting the virus, and not getting......Naw could't be, not sweet Bernie.

Neither Sanders nor Biden is on many people's minds today. Trump is the man of the day, on the Tube every few hours, Making America Great Again......
