Sanders Bets on Biden Debate Implosion

“Virtually the entire Democratic presidential primary has been predicated on one underlying assumption: the eventual collapse of Joe Biden,” Politico reports.

“More than a dozen of his erstwhile opponents bet their campaigns on it, and he’s proven them all wrong. But his last serious opponent standing, Bernie Sanders, is still clinging to the same belief — and that it will finally happen on Sunday night, under the bright lights of their one-on-one debate.”

“To revive his campaign, Sanders needs to prove he’s the best candidate to take on President Donald Trump and lead the country at a time of duress, his aides and allies say. But they also acknowledge privately it’s going to take more than that — namely, for the gaffe-prone Biden to stumble.”

New York Times: For Biden and Sanders, the fight is not personal.
