1. So Arizona and Texas become tossups

while Florida turns blue if Biden is the nominee, while all three turn red and North Carolina becomes a tossup if either Sanders or Warren is the nominee.

2. If Joe Biden is the nominee, Texas will be a battleground state

13. :) You'd know. I'm assuming TX will be a battleground.

15. I and a large number of real democrats have been working hard to move Texas into Battleground status

3. Larry Sabato has Texas as a battleground state

8. It was always going to be eventually.

Texas conservatives could only fight demographic change and movement for so long. Texas is becoming more diverse and there is a lot of movement into the state from more liberal areas.

I think we've seen a lot of movement from the right there in just the past few years. Trump underperforms there and a guy like Biden will make it a battleground this cycle instead of in 4 or 8 years like is might have done naturally.

4. Happy dance 💃

5. This outfit, Political Polls, has only 67,000 followers on Twitter.

Pretty maps, but not sure I buy what they indicate.

We'll see, though.

6. those "pretty maps" are published by U of VA 270towin. Excellent pollster

7. Has the Number of Twitter Followers Become the Criteria for Assessing Credibility?

I am suspicious of any Pollster not receiving a B or higher rating on the 538. I think past performance is a better indicator.

9. Please note...only Biden wins.

[PatrickforO]

10. Yeah, I saw that, but polls really don't mean too much. In March we will all

be getting a good idea of who our nominee will be. Until then, I will be supporting Warren, as you will be Biden. It is my hope that we have absolutely record breaking voter turnout throughout the nation and that we paint this country deep blue.

Then, and only then, will it be healthy for us to debate centrist vs progressive positions. We have to get rid of Trump first, and we have to have as much faith as we can muster in our party process, and in ourselves - all of us must watch out for trolls and alleviate unnecessary conflicts. Putin wants us divided. We need to be together.

11. This is a good poll and is what I saw months ago...we need certain states...and Sanders and Warren

won't win those states...neither will Buttigieg. I am only discussing the top four...waste of time to consider others at this point.

[Demsrule86]

12. I vote blue no matter who...so no worry about trolls...only stupid people don't vote for the

Democratic nominee...whoever that may be...let's hope some learned their lesson in 16.

16. Sanders Launches Harsh Attack On Biden That Proves The Former VP Is The Most Electable Democrat

Link to tweet

The independent lawmaker’s comments are his sharpest attacks on Biden to date, but they show that Sanders recognizes that his biggest weakness – electability – is the former VP’s greatest strength.

The only problem with Sanders’ assessment of Biden’s chances against Trump is that a mountain of national and statewide polling data contradicts it.

In fact, based on the current RealClearPolitics average of state-by-state polling, Biden is the only candidate among the Democratic frontrunners – including Sanders – who is leading Trump in enough states to win the Electoral College.

As of Dec. 31, Biden stands at 322 electoral votes compared to Trump’s 166, with 50 electoral votes falling into the toss-up category.

Sanders, on the other hand, leads in states totaling just 265 electoral votes to Trump’s 257 electoral votes. Only North Carolina’s 15 electoral votes fall into the toss-up category.
