Funny how hard to know what is real and what is bs. One poll has O'Rourke showing best of any of them against Trump, double digit lead. I missed his CNN town hall last night, unfortunately but reports I read had him doing very well. I kind of suspect that reports of his demise are more than a bit premature.

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