She thought she had a good shot. And TBH she could have. Her campaign was just piss poor. This will be a stain on her career if anything.

How can they think Biden can win?

From that interview with James Carville...

Quote:

There’s this fantasy that the Democratic base has undergone some grand leftward shift. It’s just not true. People look at “The Squad” or the Sanders movement or political Twitter and they think that’s the party. It’s not. You know who the party is? It’s the people who just voted on Tuesday.

But I guess that’s the establishment, huh? If we don’t have a word for someone now, we call them “the establishment.” The notion that there was some revolution of young and working-class voters ready to transform the country was nonsense. The evidence just doesn’t bear that out. These voters didn’t turn out the way the Sanders people said they would. Sanders won lots of young voters, but they didn’t turn out any better than they did in 2016. And Biden won all over the place with our key constituencies.

That’s the deal. That’s the reality, okay? It’s done. The Sanders campaign started with a false premise and it ends where all things that start with a false premise end.

I think he means win against Trump, not Sanders.

I think most people who are voting for Biden are under the assumption he has a better chance of beating Trump. I believe he'll fold under pressure. Like I said the one on one debates going forward will be an interesting way to gauge how strong a candidate he will actually be in the general.

At least the debates will be fun. Two gaffe machines going after eachother like rabid dogs.
