That line of positing possibly ends up being, if carried to its logical end-game conclusion, that any front-running candidate who is even marginally better (NOT saying Biden is only marginally better), than Rump deserves to be our nominee regardless of what his/her actual positions are in some vital areas, despite the fact there are OTHER (literally and figuratively) choices. All this rationalisation for Biden is simply based off his being up atm in early June 2019 polls.
