and all Bernie supporters I met in real life are highly informed, I always give up debating with them as they are so clever with talking points. We just have one week to wait (Super Tuesday) and if he is a clear winner, as I suspect, I am prepared to support him. No one seems to be dropping to make any difference. It’s probably too late to stop the momentum. There is only one scenario in which BS can win GE by safe margin if not landslide - huge downturn in the economy akin great recession which will make his talking points resonate with all those moderate independents who lost their jobs and insurance. Swing states are most affected, naturally.

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