10. We will have a whole host of people who will be able to beat Trump.

I'm not sure if there is one name I have heard thrown about where I felt that person couldn't beat Trump.

No one will make it out of the Democratic Primary who can't beat Trump. If that is the main or only metric, then one only needs to look at polls from about four states in order to decide who to vote for. I personally think that is a bad way to vote.

11. I don't think Biden can, for example. He tries too hard to be nice. And there are some others. n/t

13. If Biden is a non-starter then we have serious concerns.

I say that as someone who doesn't want Biden. I think he would have a great shot at beating Trump.

This is what happens when one starts the process off stating their number one issue is based off of personal assumptions. Again, not a very good way to do it, in my opinion.

14. He's a non-starter for me in the primary. He mishandled the Anita Hill hearings

because he was trying too hard to get along with the Rethugs on the committee. He felt his promise to end the hearings by a certain date was more important than giving Anita's corroborating witnesses time to testify. (Though he allowed some "expert" to testify that she had "erotomania."

And recently, he brought up the hearings again, and put all the blame on the Rethugs. He still hasn't accepted responsibility for his mistakes as the leader of the panel.

3. That was carefully worded.

If he doesn't think a candidate can beat Trump, then he'll vote for Trump or not vote.
