That's not the issue. It's about the mentality of moderate and independent voters in addition to who has the "best chance" of beating him. The top 2 were Biden and Sanders for RIGHT NOW. However, if he keeps "branding" himself as a "socialist" and making comments similar to the one about Castro then he not only hurts his own chances in the General Election but those Dems in the House and Senate as well...

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