The Media Doesn't Seem to Be Covering Sanders [View all]

or inviting him on the talk shows much. Meanwhile, Joe Biden is more in demand. Maybe the media outlets understand the situation better than the Senator does. Or maybe Bernie's not making himself as available these days. No studio in the basement and the like.

It's beginning to look to me like Senator Sanders (I-VT) is running something of a shadow campaign, rather that a media campaign right now. I see his supporters writing about him, but not a lot from the Senator directly.

I hope he's not just waiting to see if Joe Biden gets the virus. That, I think, would be a poor campaign strategy, since Joe is staying away from direct contact with people right now.

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