... the voters of South Carolina obviously don't like him as much as they like Biden. More and more, every day, it's clearer and clearer that BS will not be our party's nominee.

If I were to vote in a presidential

It would mean only one other candidate gets above 15%, and finishes essentially in a tie with Biden.

I don’t realistically see another candidate gaining almost 20 points, unless almost everyone else drops out.
