Democratic Primaries
In reply to the discussion: 'Barack picked him for a reason': South Carolina voters stand by Joe Biden after comments [View all]Demsrule86
(68,471 posts)35. Oh please. Obama chose Biden.
That is simply false...a quick look at a senate map or an electoral map..show what kind of trouble we are in...Trump will win if we don't rebuild the blue wall...and not only in 20 but in 24. What some are missing is that we have no path to an electoral college win presently unless we rebuild the blue wall and retake MI, WI and PA. In my opinion, only Biden can do this and the more the current candidate move left, the less likely it is that they can win a general.
