      What the polls say about a Biden v Trump matchup
      (The polls say yeah so... yeah. Admittedly this is a repeat of 2016 and Ukraine will basically be the same thing as Clinton's emails and nothing is truly guaranteed.)

      Can Biden beat Trump? The truth is he's just as risky as Bernie
      (Neither of them is a guaranteed win. If there was a safe choice, it wasn't one of these 2.)

      Stop saying Biden is the 'most electable'. Trump will run rings around him. (No. And not because of his record or gaffes, but because he is an establishment politician and Ukraine will leave the same impression on Biden as Clinton's emails. Are you people insane? Have you forgotten 2016?)
