His willingness to step up his efforts to win institutional support is the latest sign that he believes that shunning the Democratic establishment might work for a long-shot outsider campaign, but won’t cut it if he truly wants to win the nomination.

Meanwhile, the Senator from Vermont is still bashing 'the Democratic Establishment,' the boogie-man from 2016. Yet he's reaching out for support this time out because he realizes he needs those relationships 'if he truly wants to win the nomination.'

Tell me how that works out.

I don't think so.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
