For all of you shitting on Biden, are you saying Bernie has the juice? Cause that’s just stupid given his performance last night. I wish he had it cause I like him over Biden, but let’s be real here. He wouldn’t beat Trump either. This is an election and getting votes is the only thing that matters.
So what the fuck is y’all’s point?
Did Bernie have a bad night?
Hell Yes.
Did Biden have the best night of his political career? Definitely.
But The primaries aren’t over. And y’all are ignoring what was behind this surge. It didn’t come out of nowhere. And Biden still has to debate Bernie 1 on 1 Multiple times and win a lot of states where he has weaknesses
The core base will largely come out in the General.
The people that stayed home in 16’ were the young black voters, broadly young voters in general, and Latinos.
Bernie performs well with all of those groups. So he has an X factor that we will need to beat Trump
A lot of these red states will still be red in November.
I am most concerned about the swing states.
Arizona, Florida, Maine, Michigan, Minnesota, Nebraska, New Hampshire, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin.
Biden did very well in NC, and MN.
Sanders performed even better than Biden in NH, and NE with a larger field
It looks like it will basically be a draw in Maine.
So we have
- AZ
- *PA
- *WI
- *FL
- *MI
* - The most important Big Four
How does Biden's surge transfer to those states?
Because that is where the election will be won.
And before the Establishement teamed up like Voltron against him; Sanders was out-polling Biden in the majority of those states.
They are basically tied now.
If Biden crushes Sanders in this primary going forward Sanders should bow out and support him.
Biden should do the same if it was the other way around -but he won’t.
