deep South and now Texas I do not think that Sanders (being branded Socialist by the right) or Buttigieg (an openly gay man) is compatible with the "Bible Belt" who for the most part are hypocritical bigots who also view Capitalism with almost as much zeal.

However, that being said, I do like Biden but I do wish he was not an "establishment" Democrat. I hope he brings out his claim to be a "Progressive". The establishment Democratic Party has moved to the right in the fruitless search for a compromise with a Republican Party that sees compromise itself as fundamentally evil.

by no means is the south a shoe in for Biden. Steyer and Bloomberg’s influence might benefit Sanders.

I wish Biden was less inclined to favor corporations.
