For better or for worse, he's been winning primaries in the past week.

There are 1700 Dem delegates remaining. Sanders needs 1000 to win. Biden needs 700.

Sanders isn't going to be President.

The sad thing is that you're right--he's focused on winning the nomination.

The bad thing is that the fact that he's this useless does not bode well for any of us.

He seems to be lying low right now. I'm not sure that's a bad idea. The crisis is young. Anything a politician says at this stage is likely to be proved wrong or at least not entirely right. Biden might not want to utter prescriptions that may be used against him later on.
