Democratic Primaries

Many miles to go until then, and Biden isn't even in the race yet. When he enters many other candidates (no, not just the Berner) and the turgid MSM are going to tear into him, especially if he is the presumed front runner. That will more than like knock that lead down.

I do take ownership of my typo
it should have said likely, not like
done here, and done your continuing tedious projections
ie.

that is cheap ad hominem
The vast majority of the 2020 Primaries narrative will NOT be about Bernie, regardless of how it may seem reading this board.
If you think that if he were to magically disappear, then there will not be contentiousness, debate, policy/philosophical arguments, struggles, vettings, plus agenda-driven news coverage and hit pieces from every angle between the other 15 or so other candidates, then apparently you have not been through very many primary seasons.
I was not old enough to vote in 2008 (as but one example, another being 1980, from what I have read and seen), but I was old enough to see that Sanders himself is not needed at all to get there.
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden

Other candidates will, at some point, have a go at him, especially if he is the front-runner.

Again with the misrepresenting of what I said, and also some strange attempt at projection.

the only centering of Bernie came from you, you are completely trying to turn it into yet another

Greater turnout of POC is key, I agree. Those aren't the only 3 states that will flip.

Thee senate is tough. I don't think any senator from a state that has a GOP governor should run
