Today the Sanders campaign attacked Biden on busing. But Sanders opposed busing too.

I wonder why this wasn't vetted when the initial busing controversy happened six months ago? It's only come to light now Bernie's campaign want to attack Biden on it.

One of the biggest things that sucks at two near-octogenerians being at the top is two weeks before voting starts we are relitigating stuff from when Gerald Ford was President

I like Joe’s baggage. It’s sturdy and dependable. He has the most qualified baggage both nationally and globally.

Think I read something on DU, where the world prefers Joe’s baggage, too.

He is attacking other candidates, one after another, and he isn't even a Democrat for god's sake. I am so sick of him! I hope he gets his clock cleaned Tuesday night.

If he doesn't get plurality wins in those states, he's done, frankly. So, he's pulling out all of his stops right now so the organ sounds louder.

He will continue on, even after he has lost by a sound margin. He will criticize Democrats, and do his best to set up roadblocks to a Democratic victory.

He should never have been allowed to run as a Democrat.
