36. You need to face reality too.

Warren was closer to the “crater” Biden was in then the top two. It was either a strong 2 way race, or a 4 way one. It wasn’t 3.

I much preferred your more honest take, that a third place finish for Warren would be “meh”. Now it’s suddenly strong third place?

The spinning around here needs to stop. From everyone.

I don’t need to see multiple threads asking candidates to drop out after an unrepresentative caucus either. That’s patently absurd.

None of the candidates are done, especially after that poor Iowa debacle.

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