13. I think that's way too optimistic.

What fool would think Bernie Sanders doesn't have a comeback or two in him? One of the great things about Sanders is he doesn't know what quit is. He just goes and goes and fights for a beautiful cause that he believes in down to his marrow.

This ain't over. Not by a long shot. I will vote for Statler or Waldorf, whoever we nominate. But don't any of you kid yourself that either of the two men left standing (from a field of two dozen candidates!) is a pushover.

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