2. So, electability means nothing, eh?

When asked which candidate they believed would defeat Trump in a general election, 62% said Biden, showing a 21-point lead on Warren and Sanders.

Electability means nothing . . . except when you're polling the electorate who despite all the caterwauling view 'electability' critical, as in if you don't win you get NADA. And the country? It gets to remove the national seal and replace it with a splendid image of Trump's orange face.

Are we going to continue that this is all about name recognition or naivite or ignorance?

Or finally admit that 'electability' is a thing, a perception, an actual quality in the minds of voters? Because it appears to be pretty consistent and important.
If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for:
Joe Biden
