Biden will position himself as fighting against the crazy right and crazy left. Right left of center where most Americans are. He won back blue collar whites in MI and MO who voted for Bernie then Trump last time. That’s what cost us the Midwest last time.

Bernie’s support will continue to crater. Florida is a closed Primary state. Bernie might not get 15%. The Bernie supporters who will not vote Democratic never were going to.

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