35. What is the measure for calling his numbers 'weak?'

Wed Mar 4, 2020, 11:54 AM

Mar 2020

Certainly other candidates are currently outperforming him in particular states, but to call his performance weak in regards to an entire demographics requires both a standard and a measure-- both objective.

What is the standard and the measure you use to support your allegation?

Or (and I find this a wee bit more likely), there's no standard, no measure, and no data you're aware of... just another allegation lacking any real evidence to support it, yes?

Big time! indeed.

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