another DUer being happy Sanders is being attacked here, because IMO Biden's probably been subjected to more attacks here than any other candidate.

As for who's doing well -- polls are the most reliable data we have on that.

As for whether any candidate who becomes the nominee "has to earn" a Democrat's vote:

Vote Blue No Matter Who.

Vote for our nominee because that nominee won the support of enough Democrats to prove that he or she should be the standard bearer.

If any Democrat doesn't vote blue, no matter who our eventual nominee is, that Democrat is helping Trump and the GOP destroy our country and threaten the world.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
