But, as grating as Biden’s routine is, I actually do think it’s smart campaigning. It feeds into a hunger a lot of Democrats have for a less winner-take-all kind of politics. It also chips away at efforts to paint Biden as a radical socialist who is out of the mainstream, so it’s a solid general election strategy too. I really do not believe that serving up partisan red meat is going to be a winning strategy next year, and when Biden does it, he’s going to make it about Trump rather than his party or his supporters. I think it’s pretty clear that this enables him to give permission to as many people as possible to vote for him, and that that is the smartest way to beat this president.

I think we’ve got an amazing selection of viable Democratic candidates and I’d vote for any of them in a moment. They don’t seem to be attacking each other in a damaging way (except for Bernie’s people), so I’m hoping that when we finally have a candidate, the rest of the field will be willing and motivated to campaign as one party. The media is going to be awful no matter what happens, but hopefully the candidates won’t take the bait. They all know what’s at stake.
