While Biden might have the most to lose, a good performance by him could lead to a lockout of everyone else, at least in some states, with all delegates being pledged to Biden in any state where nobody but him gets more than 15% of the vote.

I suspect the debates will be a turning point for all these candidates. Everyone appears to be in a holding pattern at the moment.

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