I think people think Joe will pull some working class white men from Orange Baby, not sure he will peel enough away. I think we need to energize millennials, women, etc, mobilize the base.

So I think Harris and Warren are better bets.

And....was taken aback when Joe said he thought republicans would all of a sudden not stonewall if he won. That seems extremely unlikely, hope he doesn’t really believe that.

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