jumping on something to make it a horse race, which means they will attack Biden with anything they can come up with. They need some reason to make an exciting narrative that Bernie can come back and win it. This debate serves no purpose but to get them ratings and something to bloviate about.

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