The Odds Against a Current Candidate Who Is Polling under 5% Are Very High

16. Well, I have nothing to do with how Joe Biden is doing.

Nobody has polled me so far in this campaign. As always, I will gladly vote for whomever becomes the nominee. I suppose my view is tactical, in the sense that I'm eager to see how the leaders do when the preferences of the people who now have a preference for someone who is not a leading candidate.

I'm also eager to see how each of the leading candidates chooses to take on Trump. My choice is based on who I would vote for today, if the election were held today. It's not set in stone.

Currently, I see having 23 or is it 24 candidates in this race as a serious distraction, even this early. I'd like to see that change, but it's up to each of the candidates who is not doing very well to decide whether to continue or withdraw and find something else to do. Minnesota's favorite daughter can continue to be our senior Senator, of course, which I'm sure she is planning to do. Other candidates have other directions.

Really, my goal at this point is to narrow the focus and target Trump, rather than other Democrats.
