...at this point is name recognition. Name recognition, name recognition, name recognition. Hell, the person narrating the video doesn't even know how to pronounce Kamala.

Does anyone really think Biden will remain the 2nd choice for Sanders supporters and vice versa? While both are old white men, and there are certainly those who think nominating an old white man is the key to success in 2020, I'd suggest it's absurd to think a plurality of Biden supporters will opt for Sanders if Biden doesn't run. That the narrator doesn't even question that notion says pretty much all I need to know about said narrator.

...helps make my point for me by not even knowing how to pronounce the name of a candidate who still is a relative unknown, even to the one doing the analysis.

But, again, what's even sillier is blind acceptance of the notion that a plurality of Biden supporters will opt for Sanders if Biden doesn't run. All because name recognition polling told him so.

That's not analysis. That's garbage.
