I think being honest about a candidate’s obvious limitations when so much is at stake is a good thing. If there were still a viable non-Bernie option in the race, the conversation on MSNBC and CNN would be different. Everyone would be talking about this—like they were back in September.

Trump’s campaign is talking about it. That much is certain. The ad just makes itself. Brad Parscale just lets Castro, Booker and all the mainstream pundits do the talking for him.

I don’t know about you, but I actually want to beat Trump and I sincerely think Joe Biden can’t do it. I don’t accept that his nomination is inevitable at this point, and as long as there’s still a possibility to stop this catastrophe, I will do everything in my power to prevent that from happening. .

We can’t pin our hopes on the weakness, criminal negligence and incompetence of Trump to carry the day for Democrats in November. We need a candidate who is fit to do the work. That’s not Biden, sorry.
