If he's enough of a Dem for the DNC, he's enough of a Dem for me.

He's not my first or second choice, but if primary day comes rolling around and polls show him as being much stronger against Trump than those choices in electoral college projections, he'll get my vote.

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