I think fundamentally this is the structural problem that I brought up and where if you are even a progressive congressional

Democrat it's the obvious move and frankly, it's less of a you're gonna do it anyway, so why not do it?

Why is it the obvious move?

Because the structures of our political process make that the obvious move for both Bernie and AOC

What does that mean? Well fundamentally Bernie believes he said this or not

According him and I haven't spoken about this so I'm speaking just what I know about him

Bernie believes that Trump is an existential threat. He legitimately believes that and Bernie sees that and I can just just

Understanding to be around him a long time and not knowing what it is

But Bernie would say that structurally Joe Biden's the candidates. I'm just gonna support him because

But Joe Biden isn't the candidate because we're in a primary season and there are two other people running against him

That's the problem. Look, I wouldn't agree with Bernie endorsing Biden once he's a nominee

But it's a hell of a lot better to say well, I'm I caucus with the Democrats

I'm gonna endorse the Democratic nominee than in the primary process when he was once the insurgent that nobody had any confidence in

In a primary process when nobody asks you you could have just sat quietly for ten months

Well, that's the thing he couldn't have sat quietly

He could not have sat quietly because the reason he couldn't have sat quietly is because if he didn't and I'm not saying this is

You're gonna reject this completely. I know the rejection. I we've been friends long enough

I know the rejections come but he can't sit quietly because every day

When he's in Washington he will walk through the Senate tunnel from his office to the Senate to vote and in that tunnel

There will be a gauntlet of 200 reporters and every day he doesn't endorse Joe Biden every question

He's going to be screamed at in that corridor is watching June door show button and the moment he endorses Joe Biden in that corridor

Do you know how many questions he gets about the presidential race zero?
