11. Biden is a weak frontrunner

Thu Jan 2, 2020, 08:34 PM

Jan 2020

If he finishes 4th in Iowa and NH , he will become a former frontrunner …..On the other hand , If Biden finishes a strong 2nd in Iowa and NH , he will become a strong frontrunner ……. No one knows what will happen in Iowa and NH ……..I don't know about the strength of his organization in Iowa ...I do know Biden's people simply did not show up in any real numbers at the Liberty and Justice Dinner held in Iowa 2 months ago - a possible ominous sign for his prospects on Caucus Night

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