As the world hides from the deadly CORONA much of America was glued to the TV screen on Sunday night as Bernie Sanders squared up against Joe Biden in the 1 vs 1 match up we've all been waiting for. This was their chance to land deadly blows and distinguish themselves from each other. To prove why they're the candidate to defeat Trump. We are very sad to report that Bernie did not effectively make the case for himself in this election defining debate. He had the chance to be consistently aggressive, change his rhetoric and expose Biden. He did not do any of these things. Things do not look good for America's dad.
