6. I haven't shared the concern that beating Trump will be hard, even before coronavirus bungling

Trump won due to a narrow margin in rust belt states. Manufacturing didn't come back. Coal didn't come back. His idiotic statements and mismanagement of the coronavirus will doom him. Add in the x% of anti-Hillary voters from '16, and x% independents throwing their middle finger hoping he would stir things up for the positive... I just don't think a good portion of those voters will support him again. Some lifeline conservatives might not vote Biden, but enough will be unable to pull the lever for him again that I truly think it's a foregone conclusion that Biden will win.

As someone who is center-left, I have some (okay, very slight) sympathy with far-left and super-progressive supporters, as I think even Bernie would beat Trump. This might have been their only chance.

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