1. I have a question

How many states has Biden won that will vote Blue in November or are at least in play?

Mississippi is great for delegates but will certainly go to Trump in the General Election.

2. That's such an old argument

that gets repeated in every primary. Democrats in those states voiced their opinion on who they want as their President. It doesn't matter what the Repubs in that state want.

But how about MA, Minnesota, Michigan is kind of a crucial state, North Carolina, Virginia? That is almost as many states that BS has won in total which include Utah and North Dakota.
Florida, Illinois and Ohio are next. Let's see what happens then.

4. Also Maine...

12. We will see

I don't expect Biden to win in November if the nominee. I will certainly vote for him, but don't expect a win.

14. Sounds like you are saying that you don't expect trump to lose.

Joe’s support is greater than any other candidate who is/was in the running, so he will get the largest amount of Dem votes in the GE.

Do you really think trump has over 50% of the votes in this country? I have not seen any statistics that show this.

15. I don't expect Biden to win in November

So characterize it however you like, but I am not at all optimistic for a Biden led ticket to come out on top.

[tavernier]

18. Ok, I respect your view, but I'm curious

who you think should have run who would be able to beat trump? Since Biden got the most votes of all the candidates, he’s the likeliest to win out of that group, but perhaps you think someone else should have run? We do have many good people, but of course not all of them threw their hat in.

19. I Supported Yang before he dropped out

and believe the we need a charismatic candidate (in the style of Bill Clinton or Barack Obama) to inspire a big turnout. The game in November is turnout and nothing more, I don't see Biden connecting with younger voters and drawing a huge turnout.

I hope I am wrong whoever the nominee is, but just don't think so.

As to who among the candidates would in my opinion been able to do so, I really can't answer as I don't know.

17. Bernie Sanders will DEFINITELY lose

Florida, Michigan, Wisconsin, and possibly Pennsylvania against tRump. If Sanders cannot beat Biden in the democratic primaries, he will LOSE big to tRump. All of the turnouts during the primaries have been for Biden.

I was truly feeling sorry for Bernie last night. He was humiliated on Super Tuesday and last night. I honestly don’t want to see Bernie get embarrassed again next Tuesday. He has NO PATH. What Bernie is doing now is just sour 🍇 and divisive when we are at the time to unite around our presidential candidate.

If Bernie wants to go ahead and continue bashing Biden, then the gloves are off! And this tells me more about him. He has never been and will never be a Democrat. He just manipulate the Democratic base for his own personal aspiration. Go ahead and be humiliated again next Tuesday, Bernie.

13. Texas is also in play as a battleground state.

There was a CNN poll in late February that showed Biden with a one point lead over Trump and that occurred when Biden was lagging in the polls after Nevada. The RCP average for polls in 2020 only has Trump up by 2.5%.

3. Counter-question: What difference does it make? Show your work.

[Scurrilous]

7. LOL

Show your work.

[Sherman A1]

11. I like answers such as you have given

they tell me everything I need to know.

[Happy Hoosier]

16. Well, I could see where this question was going.

Simply put, the weird idea that winning the primary in blue states is more important than winning them in red states. Theres is absolutely no evidence supporting that notion.

[Drunken Irishman]

5. Same as Sanders.

Biden has won:

Massachusetts
Maine
Minnesota
Michigan
Virginia

These are five states that are likely blue in November - and with Michigan, it is a must-win.

He's also likely to win Washington, a true blue state.

That doesn't even get into North Carolina, which is very possibly another Democratic state if turnout is high.

For Sanders, he's won:

Nevada
Colorado
Vermont
California
New Hampshire

And let's not pretend Sanders hasn't won some conservative states, either. Do you think Utah and North Dakota will go blue in November?

[Tarheel_Dem]

6. The path to the nomination runs through Black America, ALL of it, not just the blue states.

[Scurrilous]

10. Idaho, Alaska. Kansas, Montana, Nebraska, N. Dakota, Wyoming, Oklahoma, Indiana, and Utah.

Maine and West Virginia too. All won by Bernie in 2016, then Trump. It wasn't an issue in 2016, why now.

8. Wait! You didn't include Tulsi's! n/t

9. You forgot Poland.
