And if Sanders supports the country and not himself, he'll do everything he can to help Biden win.

Tonight's debacle will backfire on Sanders, he's given up any hope of getting the White House, and of getting a Cabinet position to get any of his ideas enacted.

Warren put it best (paraphrased) - he's not gotten the things he supported passed, and never stopped anything he's opposed from happening. Leadership is not taking unpopular positions and yelling. It's fixing the problems, and that takes a team.

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