It's just something you're assuming influenced enough people to make a difference. The numbers tell a different story.

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

Sorry...Buttigieg went after Biden as did Warren...so too bad. It is nothing compared to what Trump Demsrule86 Feb 2020 #7

Buttigieg out-performed the polls, so your assertion seems rather unlikely to be accurate. TwilightZone Feb 2020 #27
So the hardest attack ad of the cycle was a plus? denem Feb 2020 #30
There's no proof of that. TwilightZone Feb 2020 #32

No biggie. Laelth Feb 2020 #35
