do enough to elect Hillary in the General IMHO...she still won the popular vote...Trump doesn't want to run against Biden because he knows Biden is likely to win the three states that gave Trump his 2016 victory...MI, WI and PA. Sanders who has never been vetted by the GOP will be destroyed in a general...and we are likely to lose the House.

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