for both Trump and Sanders, not drawing most of those says good things about our candidate, who's doing extremely well with committed voters.

Funny, but on the left strong enthusiasm tends to have an inverse correlation with actually, you know, voting. That's without even considering his hostile fringe who have no intention of voting for a Democrat.

And Trump's surge in his typically pathetically high enthusiasm ratings is due to loyalists rallying to the defense of a criminal president in danger, and to the defense of their own corrupted choices.

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