A huge South Carolina poll: Biden at 46%

10. Not necessarily.

If that is the argument for dropping out then everyone but Biden should drop out. Including the person you favor right now.

I understand the point you're trying to make, but I'd have to respond by saying "Not necessarily."

After all, it's very clear to me (and others) that some candidates are much more divisive than others. It's also clear that some candidates have realistic expectations about their chances of winning the nomination, and instead, are auditioning to be Biden's VP pick.

Considering all the denigrating and divisive things that BS has said about Democrats and the Democratic party, it's difficult to imagine Biden choosing BS as his running mate (and even more unlikely that BS would accept... he's not auditioning to be VP). So with that in mind, considering the divisive nature of his comments about Democrats and the Democratic party... people are wondering what good purpose it serves for him to continue on this Quixotic journey, particularly when the divisive nature of his comments only serve to create suspicion, and resentment.

All I'm saying is that a divided Democratic party is a weakened party... and that only benefits Trump and the GOP (and Russia.)

The type of negativity that BS throw out about Democrats and the party only generates apathy. Apathy discourages voter turnout. Low voter turnout gives Republicans a chance to steal the elections.

He's not going to be the nominee. He's not going to be Biden's VP pick. And in thoughtful consideration of all other things, I honestly believe that the most reasonable move is to drop out now and head back to Vermont, or back to DC.
