the electoral college. And I do not believe our current women nominees can win. They are not winning the primary. And none can win the three states we need. And we will have those who won't vote for them too.

You have no evidence that Biden would have won in 2016. He could have lost pnwmom Apr 2019 #40

You have no evidence that he wouldn't have won either. I showed you why he could win but Demsrule86 Apr 2019 #42
