...but the main reason I'm for Biden is to beat Trump, not Sanders.

If we nominate a candidate who is weaker than Biden against Trump, we'll have to work all the harder, even though that Democrat may have a stronger ground game in Iowa, New Hampshire and South Carolina in the Primary. Those three states are the most important states to win the nomination. I agree. Other than New Hampshire, they don't mean shit in the General.

However, my chief ambition in this election cycle is to beat Donald Trump. So, the 3 states I'm focused on are Pennsylvania, Michigan and Wisconsin in the General Election.

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