Six points about Joe

1) I am not committed to a candidate but I believe we could do worse.
2) I am for that candidate who has the highest probability of beating Chump.
3) As of now that's Joe. It can change
4) He should have owned his views about race from a generation and one half ago and said he evolved. The only people who aren't evolving are stupid and dead people.
5) He might not be the most woke person in the room but he can learn. His heart is in the right place
6) Joe is right. The social science research strongly suggest children need stimulation and those that lack sufficient stimulation fall behind.

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

2. "As of now that's Joe. It can change." - How did you determine that?

I am not trying to be contentious, I am still undecided but if you can share your analysis on how you came up to that conclusion it would help many of use who are still going through the vetting process.

Just saying "As of now that's Joe. It can change." by itslef doesn't mean much unless it is supported by some actual analysis, so please help us, the undecided, learn from your findings.

Thank you

That includes some who even tried putting non-registered voters in the mix.

At the moment, Joe Biden holds the highest probability of defeating Trump. And yes, it could change.

I don't know any Biden supporter who thinks the primary is a slam dunk. I don't know any Biden supporter who isn't willing to admit that the GE is going to be a junkyard dogfight to the finish. What Biden's supporter do believe is that the man has the best chance of kicking Trump and his enablers to the curb, shore up our institutions and reestablish the rule of law, reaffirm our commitment to democracy and our allies abroad, give fair warning to our adversaries that playtime is over and push forward the domestic policies (healthcare, climate change, gun regulation, environmental protections, racial justice, education, economic equality issues, etc.) that are important to all Americans.

The polls indicate that Biden is ahead and has remained ahead since he first announced. He chose the slightly liberal to moderate lane which IMHO is why he's positioned as well as he is.

Could things change? Absolutely. Does Joe Biden present a threat to the country?

Emphatically, No!

That would be Donald Trump, something we should keep in mind.
