...This sounds like a shakedown. Many of Bidens positions have already moved to the left in a big way. If he caves-in to these demands, there wouldnt really be much of a difference between a Biden or a Sanders candidacy, except that Sanders can navigate his way around a salad bar. (Tucker Carlson was joking on his show. He asked if Biden could find his car in a three-tiered parking lot? Can he navigate a salad bar?)
Strassel reminds us that, normally when a candidate captures the nomination, they begin shifting back to the center.
But Team Bernie is effectively holding a gun to Bidens head...

Bernie has no fight, but he’s not completely stupid.
Any day now Biden might have to be admitted to an assisted living facility.
So a guy that cant speak in complete sentences is going out on the trail (maybe someday) to campaign for policies that 3/4 of the country is very much against. Go for it Capt. Dementia.
Bernies no fool, he wants two new houses.
He doesn't qualify for assisted living. He can't remember if he took his meds or not. . . I'm serious
Bold strategy Cotton, let’s see how it plays out
****************
This is overstating Biden's vulnerability IMO. He's probably going to pick a woman of color as his running mate and that will appease many (but not all) on the far left. It's his ace in the hole, so to speak.
There's also a good chance that Biden will get pushed aside in favor of Cuomo. In that case both Joe and Bernie will effectibely get thrown under the bus.
Any notion that the nominee is going to be someone other than Biden or Bernie is pure fantasy.
If I was a dem, I would be furious over this talk. It just makes Biden seem even more useless and pathetic.
It wouldn’t be fair to throw dodgeballs at either Biden or Bernie.
Strassel reminds us that, normally when a candidate captures the nomination, they begin shifting back to the center.Obama never made such a shift.
America so needs some comedy relief that I hope Biden is the DemoRat candidate. The debate would be hilarious.
“Bernies no fool, he wants two new houses.”
Old hat. He is going for bigger!
Sanders lost and gave up any influence he had going into the convention. His supporter’s ideology will not change that reality.
Bernies no fool, he wants two new houses.
And a brand new Volga as well
Bernie’s “Progressive wing” is much more the Communist wing. He is thriving in a country that is in the midst of a sovietization of society with severe restrictions on mobility, the churches shut down, bourgeois small businesses shut down. Everything more and more requiring police permission Police arresting people on patently unConstitutional and un lawful grounds. Are we to believe that the end of the Quarantine will be soon or that all of the restrictions will be lifted? The rulers have savored absolute rule. They will be averse to giving it up.
Bkmk
Cuomo is acting rather like he has been told to act more “presidential” in preparation for his next act.
This is cool.
Bernie has got his own Operation Chaos.
Seems like old hippies never die.
