13. I take the opposite approach.

If we're going to blunt the nonsense that is undoubtedly coming should Biden win the nomination, it would be helpful for his win to be emphatic.

If the win is a solid majority and there is no doubt Biden is the winner, I think people will be less likely to take the kind of silliness that happened in 2016 seriously. That's not to say that it won't happen. I just think most people will have little or no tolerance for it.

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