Having friends is good, but a political style generating antagonism without clear benefits is just stupid.
I watched Biden make a speech to his supporters at the end of the long day, and watched Sanders make a speech to his. Then a very clever talking head summarized them both in one sentence. "Biden is running to run against Donald Trump, Sanders is running to beat Joe Biden." The hostility towards everyone 'not us' rolling back and forth between Sanders and his followers was palpable, even through the TV. Biden had not a harsh word to say about anyone but Donald Trump. I think when the clear majority of the voters openly state that their number one issue is getting Trump out of office that is an appropriate place to focus.
