Until South Carolina, Sanders would usually have the biggest margin of victory in polls against Trump, even post-heart attack. He'd certainly raised the most money apart from the self-funding billionaires.
But then again, I expected Kamala Harris to be in the lead by now, so what do I know.
Biden seems like a nice guy, but I don't see anyone being excited to vote _for_ him unless he knocks it out of the park with a VP choice. He biffed what is still the most important vote of the 21st century, permitting Dubya to invade the wrong damn country. He was tapped as the establishment guy for VeePee to counterbalance the audacity of Barack Obama being black. He's just as big a gaffe machine as Trump, which probably masks cognitive decline. Judging by how his cell phone spooks him, he's a tech illiterate. Yeah.... that's the dog-faced pony soldier we need.
