... he can also grab a lot of independents and disaffected Repukes. Even if the Repukes don't vote for him, they'll decide he's "not so bad" and they'll stay home and not vote for Chump.

It's BIG factor to consider - the crossovers and there will be tons of them next year.

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