Rallying the base..a possible nightmare

Just sitting here thinking about how Trump only focuses on his 30%base...how he took the Presidency while losing the popular vote by over 3 million.. and how we could be in a mell of a hess with so many candidates, if we do not keep in mind, we will win NOTHING with 20 little bases refusing to back the party.. there is a bit of a downside to having so many riches in qualified people all running..... keeping my eyes on the prize

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