89. He has no chance in places like MO,KS,OK,etc

No chance.

Honestly, my candidate won't win MO in the GE. I don't think any except maybe Bloomberg would come close. What I do know is that the state GOP would use Sanders as a smear on all downticket races: Congress, gubernatorial, state offices and lower. I think Galloway would be a fantastic governor and if we can elect Elad Gross as AG it could change not just Missouri but nationwide.

(Gross used to work in the MO AG office. He's now running against a corrupt Republican named Schmidt who was appointed after the equally corrupt Josh Hawley won the Senate. Why Gross is so important is because of the powers as written for what the MO AG can do. The AG can issue orders that cannot be overridden and Gross plans to use it. He has stated Day 1 he's sworn in he will present the order demanding the sources of all political funding used in any Missouri state race. What this means is blowing off the cover of anonymity of all Dark Money entering the state,which offers national raminfications. Other attorneys have looked into Elad's claims and said his plan is feasible and legal. If Sanders gets the nomination Galloway, Gross, Simmons,etc have no chance.)

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