Joe is coughing?

Clearing his throat, not the same as coughing. Not the best opening, but not a cough.

Okay. It seemed to me he was suppressing a cough, but you’re probably right.

Bernie is doing a good job of promoting his ideal vision of health care, but he’s talking about a fantasy future, not the way people right now will be dealing with the virus.

Once again, Bernie is ignoring the question of what he would do right now if he were President, and falling back on a campaign speech about his future vision of health care.

Biden made a good point about Italy’s single payer system not being a cure all for what they are going through right now.

Joe is doing okay. Good point about Italy and the care problems, no matter that they have government health care.

This was always going to be the case. Sanders has a spiel he has been giving for decades.

Look: even jazz solos can be put into written music and committed to repetition.

Proceed Senator.

Bernie is trying to leverage the current crisis to sell his program. Biden is telling people how he would deal with it right now.

By asking his mega donors what they’d like him to do, that’s what. Biden sold out decades ago to Big Pharma and Big Oil, just for starters. Sanders is the only candidate in my lifetime that doesn’t owe any favors to anyone except the American people.

Biden’s experience shows. Good.

Sell it to a Senate he is having no hand in expanding to Democratic control (since he is not a Democrat).

All of these GOP Senators (who will remain when and if Sanders becomes president) will fall for his charm and vote for everything Bernie says.

Joe, stop arguing with this guy. He sounds like a nut. And I’m a fan.

Bernie is talking about a movement. Biden is talking about communities.
