My takeaways from all this...
Biden consistently referred to black voters in the south as his firewall, but I'm not aware of a black agenda from him anywhere near as clear as his immigrant and LBGTQ agenda.
Biden had the advantage of name recognition and association with Obama and that's the extent of a lot of voters knowledge of him. Running the table in a bunch of slave states with low information voters doesn't give me a lot of enthusiasm. Most of those states are going red in Nov.
I fear Biden will not make it to the convention, let alone November, without Howard Deaning himself cuz dude is for real senile. I've disagreed with the popular notion that Biden is the best democratic candidate to beat Trump from the beginning, and I still do.
Elizabeth Warren should have dropped out last week. I personally think most of her supporters would have gone with Bernie, but even if they didn't and went Biden, I would feel better about the clear results of the vote. Warren supporters seem to be decently to well informed, so if those voters went Biden, that would have been a strong statement.
...ultimately I will vote for Biden in Nov if he is the nominee, but I don't like his chances in the general...and even if he wins, I'm not that optimistic about his Presidency. He'll be a one termer and make Reagan's senile years look good before they roll him out of the oval to the elder care facility. Anything is a step up from Trump, but that's such a low bar it goes without saying. Just because the menu for the last four years has been a shit sandwich, doesn't mean you can't hope for more than a dirt sandwich.
