It depresses turnout.

With the heightening level of voter suppression in this nation, we need an enormous turnout to overcome it (not just the issues of voter ID, etc., but the devastating effect of systematic cut backs in resources in "certain areas" that lead to long lines that a portion of potential voters do not, or cannot, wait in).

The most effective way to drive out more of the people who want to see DT gone is to face the reality that he could win. (And he absolutely COULD -- particularly if Biden and his supporters keep dismissing and belittling the hopes of the people who support the policies promoted by Warren and Sanders.)
