8. How does he maintain he's a better shot to beat Trump

when support for Bernie in Florida is so bad compared to Joe?

Bernie is behind about 1.5 million votes and 150 delegates

Bernie is polling badly behind in AZ, FL & IL and well behind in Ohio.

Bernie is going to get spanked the following week in GA.

After that, Biden's two home states: PA & DE was waiting.
Plus upcoming MD & LA have a large black vote that's going to make them look like Mississippi or SC

So going into the last 1000 delegates, Bernie will be down about 2.5 million votes and about 500 delegates. Some of the large states remaining have large numbers of black voters.

How does Bernie maintain he's better in the general when he can't even be the best among the party he wants a nomination from?

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