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

Yes. Until Sanders makes a public statement, it's not over. MineralMan Mar 2020 #31

And an endorsement... full-throated... sincere... enthusiastic... complete. NurseJackie Mar 2020 #37

I would not count on a strong endorsement from Sanders. MineralMan Mar 2020 #44
