Sunday night’s Democratic primary debate offers the first face-to-face discussion between former Vice President Joe Biden and Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) since Super Tuesday, when Biden changed the course of the race with a string of commanding victories.
What We’re Watching For At Sunday’s Democratic Presidential Primary Debate
Bernie to recognize the inevitable reality that Trump, not Biden, is the danger, and to step aside graciously?
Joe: (1) Stay Cool (2) Be yourself
Democrats and like minded people of all stripes are voting for you. Sanders is fighting an uphill battle and he is an aggressive person. Use that to your advantage.
Is there a president in the house?
Asking for a country.
I’m not watching at all and, with both candidates at or past the age of 70, they are both at risk for exposure even with the limited activity. Joe is sort of local, but Bernie may not be (if he went home or anywhere else during the last week).
None of this is necessary. None of it. If we can cancel sporting events, then this should be cancelled as well. Hell, we’re even postponing primaries, for G’d’s sake…This is irresponsible on all parts.
I’m watching for Bernie to recognize that it’s over.
Sure, he has a shot, if he wins every single state from here on out by at least 10 points.
But that guy is gonna ride that dead horse all the way to the convention.
Neither am I. If these two old fossils get into a slap fight or arguing about which one’s back pain is the best weather predictor, I’ll learn soon enough.
Bernie was home yesterday for his “fireside chat.”
Since I’m grounded (e.g., social distancing) and not traveling, I could watch it, but I’d be more likely to find the live blog here and see what comes of it.
They watch so I don’t have to.
There’s one President and one screeching demagogue.
So then, unless he took his own personal car from Vermont to DC, he was probably exposed sometime in the last day or so.
Wonderful.
I’d be happier if they were both isolated in comfortable remote locations from the site and were on camera. That would be one more responsible act they could do to encourage people to just stay home.
Either one of these methuselahs would be be 1000x better than what we have.
I agree.
There’s no reason in 2020 that the entire debate can’t be conducted remotely.
Of course they are. Honestly, age isn’t a factor at this point because they’re all within a couple of each other.
But they shouldn’t, none of them, put themselves in harm’s way when they all three are part of the at-risk population. Just irresponsible. They could very easily, if infected, not make it and then where would we be?
As big of a political junkie as I am, I can’t get excited for this. Mostly because the clear and present danger posed by the Coronavirus and the terrifyingly incompetent leadership we’re currently saddled with and dependent upon for our safety. But also because it feels very anti-climactic. Sorry, Bernie. But it’s over. I hope Bernie will take the opportunity to build Joe up and prod him gently to his views rather than tear him down wholesale. I don’t expect he’d do that.
He still thinks he can win FL, though none of the numbers are drifting in his direction. So it’s not going to be over until he says it’s over.
I’ve seen memes on SM this weekend where his supporters still think it’s highly possible that Bernie can win the delegate count. That’s the only thing keeping the campaign alive.
Now that LA and GA have postponed their primaries, there’s no doubt in my mind that Bernie will stay in it until all are completed.

I don’t know about you, but I’ll be watching in horror for any signs of fever or shortness of breath.
Trump isn’t the only one who’s in a vulnerable demographic.
We may very well lose some people who are irreplaceable at this moment in American history.
(Is there a GoFundMe page to buy a hermetically-sealed room for Ruth Bader Ginsburg?)
Maybe that was part of the GOP governors’ thinking. Both these states were almost certain Biden wins. Goopers politicize everything.
Bernie or Biden… at this point, I just want a president who knows what he is doing in ordinary situations and in crisis/extraordinary situation(s)!
Despite the pandemic, I wish the Presidential Election is happening NOW! November will be too late for those that will die from the INCOMPETENCE, SELFISHNESS and GREED of the Trump Regime and unintended consequences of Covid-19!
Is there even a remote chance that this will happen?
