Hey pull up a chair. It's tax on tap with David Axelrod and Mike Murphy.

Well Axel, here we are right after my home state of Michigan led the country in

coordinating Joe Biden. What a what a day it is but I don't think Bernie got the memo.

What's your take? You know I think Bernie got the memo but I think he's reading it

slowly for the benefit of his of his followers. He just a little while ago really

gave a statement. It wasn't a press conference. He didn't tell him. He didn't take questions.

It was telling actually last night when Bernie Sanders didn't come out and address reporters

as he normally would after the results. Clearly they were examining the rubble that was

super Tuesday too and trying to figure out if there's a path forward. The reality is there

is no path forward but I think he is trying to figure out how to land the plane and what

was really interesting about his statement was what it didn't contain it. It didn't contain

any personal attacks on Joe Biden who he referred to as his friend. It did reaffirm his

commitment to do whatever he needed to to help defeat Donald Trump. He said he's going

to the debate on Sunday and he threw out a bunch of questions that he wanted to ask Joe

Biden as if to say I am throwing you the crypt sheet. I'm tipping you to the questions

and just come with some answers. Really what he was saying is help me help you bring

along my followers who are in this for reasons. Reasons about their sense of urgency, climate,

on inequality, on social justice issues, on the cost of education, on the cost of health

care. I actually think that's an important admonition, Mike, to Biden because as we'll

discuss the one thing that he has not shown, he's shown a lot of strengths here, he should

show a lot of strengths yesterday, hasn't shown the ability to attract young people and

that's going to be important in what may be marginal races in some of these battleground
