When running for President, Biden has never won a Primary or Caucus.

This is his third Presidential bid now.

Will he win one before Super Tuesday?

Can he even manage to win one ON Super Tuesday?

Serious questions.

primary today, I would vote for:

...the second time he dropped out after the first state cast votes.

It's not like he's on a long "losing streak".

5. Biden has not won a single primary or caucus in THREE Presidential bids to date.

Excuses and deflections noted.




But that streak has continued in 2020.

Will that streak continue thru the South Carolina Primary?

Can Joe manage to win any primaries ON Super Tuesday?

Will he drop out if he does not?

7. Biden has been involved in only three votes in caucuses/primaries. Yes, he lost all three....

Warren has been involved in two caucuses/primaries (one each), she lost both.

So Biden can be considered 0 for 3. Warren 0 for 2.

Big whooops!

You can call facts "excuses and deflections" if you want, but that's not going to change anything.

Incidentally, Biden hasn't lost an election ever in his life. He won his first to the New Castle County Council, then six Senatorial elections, then twice as Vice Presidential candidate. That's nine.

Elizabeth Warren?

11. "Yes, he lost all three..." Indeed, he has.

Will he win in South Carolina before Super Tuesday?

Will he win ANY state on Super Tuesday?

Should he drop out if he does not?

13. Deflections noted. Yet Warren leads Biden in Delegates.

But so far, Warren has finished AHEAD of Biden in the 2020 contests.



Right now Warren has more delegates than Biden.



I expect her to finish ahead of Biden in Nevada tomorrow, increasing her lead.

The question is, can Biden even win South Carolina at this point?

Will he have more delegates than Warren heading into Super Tuesday?

There is an extremely high chance that she won’t have won any states after Super Tuesday. At least there is a realistic chance Biden will win some

4. I was going to make a joke about him winning more delegates than Lyndon LaRouche
Fri Feb 21, 2020, 03:42 PM
Feb 2020

but I figured I should look it up just in case.

As of today, Biden has won 7 delegates in his 3 Dem runs for President. (Sources: Wiki, NBC)

Larouche won 8 in his 3 (I think only 3 Dem tries, the other 9 times on weird new party runs) Dem runs (barred from seating any of them). (Source: Wiki)
