20. One debate will not make or break a candidate...and I regard the Harris thing

as a set up...personally I didn't think he did badly and it was not until the pile on by the media that people jumped on that...he will be fine and prepared for such things next time...My belief in Biden comes from the map- I look at candidates that can win the rust belt...I live in Ohio and have lived all over including other rust belt states...Wisconsin in fact so I know what plays in this area...Biden can win. The only other candidate who would have any chance is Beto or Ryan and neither will win the primary...Biden can win the rust belt.

Also, Warren will not be the nominee if the South Carolina polls is accurate...she is polling very badly with the AA community. It is early but I am more and more convince Joe will be the nominee maybe as early as super Tuesday. Hell, South Carolina might make him the nominee.

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