Bernie has praised Trump and criticized Biden

29. Sanders can't seem to come up with new material.

He's stuck in 2016 when he had only one opponent; under that circumstance it's easy to criticize that single opponent without deviating from your script. But now there's competition from seven or eight serious candidates with different ideas and approaches to problems, so what's the plan? Most of the candidates are emphasizing the strengths of their ideas while remaining reasonably cordial toward the others. Bernie seems to lack imagination. His rhetoric is mired in the '60s and he doesn't seem to know how to emphasize the advantages of his ideas (which Warren also supports in general, but actually has plans and numbers and explanations of how to pay for it all) as opposed to the varied ideas of many, not just one, opponent. So he attacks. He's divisive and he isn't doing the party, or himself, any good.
