Yes, Bernie has succeeded in doing well in two states.

You cannot tell me he is the strongest candidate with only a plurality of support while the center left candidates have over 50 %. If you cant winover democrats, you are not going to beat Trump.

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