Joe Biden is winning the electability primary ,,,,,

In their search for a presidential nominee, Democrats have argued about all manner of things.
They’ve debated “Medicare for All” and a “Green New Deal.” They’ve weighed a wealth tax and free college tuition. They’ve clashed over campaign donations from millionaires.
But their most important dispute isn’t about ideology or policy. It’s about a more elusive quality: electability.

Who is most likely to defeat President Trump in November? Many Democratic voters say that’s their top priority — not whether they agree with a candidate’s positions.
So far, the electability primary has a clear winner: former Vice President Joe Biden.
Biden’s campaign hasn’t been inspiring or error-free — far from it. He’s clung to first place in national polls, with support from about 28% of Democratic voters, but he’s running behind other candidates in Iowa and New Hampshire, where the first votes will be cast.
Nevertheless, when voters are asked who they think is most electable against Trump, Biden wins. Even some voters who prefer other candidates say Biden has the best shot.

Perception is everything. This is an election which the Democrats must win. The Republicans need to be beaten to the ground in a historic landslide so that their eyes will be opened and this partisan game they're playing goes away and doesn't come back. Not only does the Democrat need to carry states with 350+ electoral votes but the house majority needs to expand and the democrats need seven or eight senate seats if not more. The person at the top of the ticket needs to have coattails to do that. Trump's base isn't enough for him to win if the Democrats stick together, pull in groups like Jill Stein and her party, and give the disaffected Republicans and Libertarians some place to go. So which candidate does that best?
