Biden has a chance.

But his window is closing. He's had some decent polling the last few days. If he can have a strong showing in Nevada and then win South Carolina decisively, the narrative is going to change. But I'm curious to see what his numbers are in SC post-NH and where they will be if he does poorly in Nevada (also interested to see his numbers there).

Problem here is that I'm becoming increasingly convinced no candidate will get a majority of delegates prior to the convention. For Biden, tho, he can't get killed in Nevada or I think he'll style with SC.

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

Nevada, being a very racially diverse state, will be a very interesting contest to watch.

I just came in here to post something along that lines. Joe Biden and possibly Amy Klobuchar are the only ones who can really unite the party and the independents we will need to actually win. We will know post SC what his plans are.. but if he gets a headwind in NV and or SC.. I believe with all my heart he is the person who can get it done!!

If we go into a brokered convention, we will give Trump another four years, to truly establish a deep state of the right in our government.

I think it is Pete and Amy drop back down but this is caucus
Who knows and I don’t keep up to all the latest takes

As far as a split by convention perhaps brokering is the adult thing to do if to beat trump as a wave some combination unity ticket brokered and assured before the start of the convention so we can focus more on the platform there as the message because we can not be we’re not trump only imo and internal grievances can not be the media message which oh you know they will

It's unfortunate that they weren't, as Nevada and S Carolina are much more diverse and representative of the electorate going forward.

Things would have been very different.
