As they say, the proof is in the pudding.

Election results matter more than polls as far as electability goes.

1. Well there hasn't been an election yet.

2. This is silly. Pete said Biden was too much old Washington

and Biden responded. BFD.

3. So, he's saying that Bernie is the most electable candidate.

I could get on board with that, although I think Yang would come out on top in electability.

5. LOL.

Pete didn't say anything of the sort, but keep spinning.

7. Yep. That's about the size of it.

4. That's a good answer

I personally feel that Buttigieg needs a bit more experience under his belt before he aims for the White House, but honestly, I thought Obama was too inexperienced in 2008. Turned out he evidently was born for the job. He did, however, have more government experience than Buttigieg.

We'll see. I've learned not to underestimate anyone.

6. He's got a point. Where is Biden? 4th I think.

8. Guy polling at 3% w/ AA voters is electable when they have even less of a say.

He should be happy about his win, but that doesn't change the fact that he's benefiting tremendously from a primary calendar that negates the voices of a good chunk of PoC before white voters get a say. He's benefiting from a racially unfair system and voters of color see if for what it is.

9. Wasn't Hillary the sure thing among black voters this time in 2008?

I don't get the need to trash this guy's victory. Even if he isn't your cup of tea, give credit where credit is due. It's really sad to see so many democrats tearing each other down to prop up their own.

And let the process play itself out. Geez. I'm sick of hearing "Electability" at this point. It means absolutely nothing.

If we had gone with electability before the primaries even had a chance to begin in 2008, Hillary would have been President, and who knows if Obama would have ever been elected, much less Joe Biden as VP.
