I think he might have even believed that the nomination was in the bag, because he cranked up the anti-establishment rhetoric and brought out the ol' both sides are bad stuff. He had been (relatively) good at focusing on issues and Trump prior to that, so it's almost as though he thought he had it won and was shifting to a GE stance.

Just a guess, but the timing is curious.

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