I'd say it's Joe's race to lose now, and I mean the general election. I don't think Joe

did much of anything special at all to make the big comeback. I think it was a massive anti-Trump turnout. Lots say the decided very recently. Were there also many that never bothered to vote in a primary before? I guess that has to be the case.

I have a feeling we'll know it could have been anybody we ran. Trump is in for a major ass whoopin'.

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

is going to make ridiculous demands, then claim Biden is refusing to debate. He won't fool anyone and that will just help Joe.

Save the energy for the debates.

He still wasn't my first choice or even second for a reason.

He provided a stark contrast when Sanders ramped up the attacks on the party and made a lot of voters realize that Sanders at the top of the ticket could be serious trouble for November.

Did Biden do anything out of the ordinary? Maybe not, but he did have a couple of good debate performances and a couple of recent, solid speeches, and he has consistently attacked Trump from the very beginning of the cycle. His "ordinary" also gave the party and voters someone to rally behind.

It's not up to a candidate to win or lose, it is up to the voters. It's OUR race to lose if we don't GOTV.
