These state polls might move me from Warren to Biden. [View all]

I am more liberal than Biden.
I’m actually more liberal than Warren.
I support her for many of her policies and because our country is way past due for a woman.

However, my overwhelming concern for our democracy is ridding the country of Trump.
I simply can’t fathom the amount of damage and theft he could accomplish by 2024.
So, ELECTABILITY is number one with me.
Number two for me is to have a Prez nominee that can help us in some key states to take back the Senate and take the Turtles 🐢 reign of terror away.
The biggest opportunities for us to flip the expected needed four seats are in Colorado, Arizona, NCarolina, and Maine.

The most important swing states to win the Presidency are to bring back home to the blue side:
Wisconsin, Michigan, Pennsylvania and to possibly turn these purple ones: NCarolina, Florida, Iowa (and possibly even the longer shots, the slightly red: Arizona, Ohio, Georgia, Texas).

So, once we winnow the Dem primary field in February or March, I will be keeping a very keen eye out of polling numbers in the states listed above.
If there’s a big difference in Biden’s numbers and Warrens numbers, I could very well Vote with my head for Biden in my states March primary. But, if those numbers are relatively close, I will vote with my heart for Warren.

Does anybody feel the way that I do?

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