2020 will be no different. Despite Trump's crimes he still sits with a 40-45 % approval and we know many republicans who may not approve of him will come home to the GOP on election day. Biden is the only candidate in my opinion who can hold on to the Dem base and attract enough Independents and a few sane Republicans (never Trumpers mostly) to get to a majority of the vote. His pick for VP on the ticket should be someone who can excite the base but not cost us Independents. I think Harris, Klobuchar or Beto fills the bill but there are probably others.
