I am glad that they talked about the behavior of some of the Sander's supporters.

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

Happy to hear she will not back sanders. She has her own career to think about. JUST mho he buried her. Her fault...believing that he, as a friend and cohort would live up to their nonaggression pact.

primary today, I would vote for:

But you saw her answer on how we should accept Bloomberg's money because we need the resources to fight the GOP.

Everyone has to know that if she endorses Biden, she splits the progressive vote and Bernie is toast.

Policy-wise to restate the obvious, she's more aligned with Sanders progressive positions like M4A.

She said she'd known Bernie a long time and they'd worked on some things together. Didn't say anything really bad about him specifically but was concerned about his supporters online behavior citing a few examples.

She spoke well of Biden acknowledging their differences like on the bankruptcy bill and also work they did constructively together while assuring viewers he's genuine.

But like holding her nose to accept Bloomberg's dough, I think she would do what is best for the party and country.

So it was a little hard to read with certainty - some fog there. Could be wrong but I think she's leaning Biden.

But, while I am very glad she addressed the problem of the nastiness online within the Sanders campaign, my take when she actually talked about the two candidates? There is a warmth and friendship with Sanders, whereas when she talks about Biden? Respectful and measured, but not particularly close or warm. She made a point of saying she and Bernie had been friends for a very long time. She did not use the same word referring to Biden. Body language and tone led me to feel there is a kinship with Bernie that is not there with Biden. Doesn’t mean she’ll endorse, but I found it interesting. (For context... Warren supporter who genuinely isn’t feeling strongly for either Bernie or Biden atm, but will happily support whoever gets the nomination)

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