(71,531 posts)6. She is not going to win nor is Bernie...I doubt either win Iowa or New Hampshire... but
no matter what it will be close enough to be a wash unless the drop for both Warren and Sanders continues. No matter what South Carolina and Nevada will go for Biden I think...and on super Tuesday Biden will be way ahead maybe the nominee by then. And that is a good thing...if you can't win a primary than you can't win a general. Biden is the most electable Democrat to go up against Trump...and the important thing is not whether any of us get our candidate into the general but that we get Trump out in the general. Vote blue no matter who. This is a center left country at best...sad but true.
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden

If you add the "middle of the road" other candidates, Biden beats the Sanders/Warren easily.

Sanders plus Warren equal 31%, Biden plus Buttigieg equal 39%. No doubt many of the others....
