-Snip-

I'll have more to say soon, but have to go to work now and wanted to start out this conversation with that point this morning.

I'm just wondering - what do you make of Biden's advantage with women across the board?

Also, had not Sanders run, do you think Warren would have been able to beat Biden?



Jake Tapper on CNN compares Joe Biden with 2004 and John Kerry. Rational National analyzes this.

I'm not sure where you're getting the impression that the media considers Joe Biden winning over Trump an easy feat. Most of the time it's always presented as a challenge for whoever wins the nomination.

Where did I say the media is thinking winning over Trump is easy? My impression is, they think Biden is the most electable = most likely to win over Trump. I personally doubt that. But we don't have multiple tries to see who will do best.

Things that make you go Hmmmmmmm....

Every state that Biden has won has finished counting or is at 98-99% reported.

Over half the states that Sanders has won are still counting:
Washington - 67%
California - 94%
Colorado - 89%
Utah - 78%

California is a big one even with 94% reporting because LA County (the largest county in the US with 10.5 million people) is just 58% reported. All other CA counties are 100%.

I dont want to go into conspiracy theory territory but I have also been wondering why it's only Bernie states that have this issue.

I can't speak for Utah, but:

California, Colorado and Washington have mail voting, which can be sent even the voting day, making the vote counting process extremely slow. California itself is known for taking at least a month, like the midterms. (https://www.ncsl.org/research/elections-and-campaigns/all-mail-elections.aspx)

Plus, the slower voting favors Sanders. Biden is already leading in Washington and is forecasted to win, and the gap has been narrowing in Biden's favor in California.

In those states you could mail in your ballots the day of the election so some states are still receiving results.

The arguement the youtuber made makes no sense. Tapper was giving his opinion based on big Democrats endorsing Biden and the primary voting. This was not happening 9-10 months ago.
