13. That's too much finesse, really, at this early date.

Right now, we're still at the beginning of the primary campaign, with a field of 20. Really, more like 12, if you drop off all the ones who aren't doing well at all.

Right now, we're looking at a lot of things, but not much nuance, really. I mentioned how I see things going, but it's not a theme I'll be talking about six months from now, nor will Joe Biden ever mention that possibility. There's no risk mentioning it here. Nobody really pays attention to DU in the real world, anyhow.

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

He's not going to say it. That would be foolish. MineralMan Apr 2019 #5

He's already said he'll serve for two terms. highplainsdem Apr 2019 #3

I'm not saying that he'll say he's a one-termer. MineralMan Apr 2019 #4

You might see him that way, but if most voters see him that way, he'll lose. highplainsdem Apr 2019 #12
