'That's not Bernie': Joe Biden defends Sanders over Nevada chaos -

And here's how dems should be acting.

In a press gaggle following a retail stop in Columbus, Ohio, vice president Joe Biden said that he is unconcerned with rising rancor in the Democratic presidential race, telling reporters that the Democratic apparatus should “let Bernie run the race.”

“There’s nothing wrong with that,” Biden said, after appearing with Ohio senate candidate Ted Strickland at a market in the state’s capital.

And as for threats and harassment of Democratic officials by supporters of the Vermont senator, “that’s not Bernie,” Biden continued. “And what Bernie’s going to have to do if that happens again - he’s going to have to be more aggressive in speaking out about it. But here we are in May, as was pointed out, Hillary was still in this in May, in June.”

“I’m confident that Bernie will be supportive if Hillary wins, which the numbers indicate will happen,” Biden concluded. “So I’m not worried. There’s no fundamental split in the Democratic Party.”

These stupid pricks really do seem to have an amazing faith in the political power of stern lectures.
