Trump's Biden gambit is going according to plan

Apparently Biden's lead has been cut in half. Looks like Trump may get the opponent he's been longing for. Going to be a blood bath.

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

many, many, many low information voters out there. Crazy Bernie - I can hear it now. Sorry to say I don’t think a Jew could win the GE. And please no “Obama was black and he won”. He was BOOSTED by black turnout. Bernie won’t have that advantage. Him being Jewish doesn’t matter to you or me, but believe me there are plenty for which it does! And Don’t go salivating over the prospect of him debating Bernie. I got news for you, he’s not going to debate anybody. He will just tweet away!

Do you expect Biden would have more AA voters than Clinton did?

Are they going to be in swing states?

Because if the answer is no, you might be overlooking something.

The Democratic Nominee has to then win the General election.

Not considering why Trump would prefer Biden sounds a lot like denial.
