I watched last night's Biden / Sanders debate.
I thought Biden was good -- strong and focused without any major gaffes. He focused mostly on his experience with health emergencies and how he would address the myriad of corona-related health/social/economic challenges within the existing government systems.
I also thought Bernie was good -- he addressed the same, with less experience and details (and he did mistakenly call coronavirus 'ebola' a couple of times, after Biden had spoken about his work addressing the 'ebola' outbreak).
Additionally, Bernie took Biden to task on his past voting record and he made his agenda for systemic government change/overhaul very clear, as usual.
I still prefer Bernie's agenda and record, but Biden was a calming force and I think most Americans are less concerned about future change than their immediate needs/concerns at this challenging place in time.
I'll be surprised if Bernie doesn't get slaughtered in tomorrow's Mini Tuesday primaries, then suspend his campaign and endorse Biden shortly thereafter.
Anyway, I'm voting for Bernie in tomorrow's primary, but ready to vote for Biden in the November general election if he secures the Democratic nomination.
