12. If Biden eeks out a victory in South Carolona it won't help him much

What helped Hillary in 2016 was that she won resounding victories in the South and piled up delegates doing so. I see next to zero chance now of Biden winning convincingly in SC. If he wins with a small plurality it will keep him in the race but won't inspire a lot of confidence that he could be our strongest candidate. It could however further splinter the "moderate" vote going into Super Tuesday.

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