was definitely noticed, especially since other presidential hopefuls made it to the commemoration.

By not going there, and by cancelling his rally in Mississippi, Bernie made it clear that the black vote is a low priority for him. I'm sure many people will repay that with votes for Joe Biden, who was there.

I think it was a major mistake on Senator Sanders' part not to attend both events.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
