Isn't that exactly what Sanders is attempting to do?
OK, so let's say he becomes president via nomination by the Democrats. How's he going to work with a Congress that's presumably well to his right to pass the sort of agenda that you believe he is the best in advocating for?
Biden’s gonna get massacred on his refusal to own his past. His flat denial of provable, more conservative historical stances creates a very coloring context for his moderate outreach. It has a lot of potential to cost him all his remaining momentum.

His NYT interview was a national tragedy, and his readiness for office diminishes daily. It’d have to be a choice between him and Pete Buttigieg before I’d favor Biden.

Is this the thing Sanders issued an apology on?
"The fatal flaw of all revolutionaries is that they know how to tear things down but don't have a f**king clue about how to build anything."
“: CNN asked if Dems wld feel enthusiastic-or-satisfied vs disatisfied-or-upset if a candidate won
Biden: 72% vs 26% (upset: 9%)
Sanders: 77% vs 23% (upset: 10%)
Warren: 72% vs 24% (upset: 7%)
For Nov., this isn't the splintered party we read about, incl. for Sanders.”
I personally feel pessimistic about a Joe Biden candidacy, might actually be in the “upset” category. But Dems have a solid top 3, I guess, and things aren’t so dramatic.

Businessman Tom Steyer is standing between them during the back and forth. As Mr. Sanders walked away, Mr. Steyer went to talk to him and said: "I don't want to get in the middle. I just want to say hi Bernie."
