You seriously believe that of all the Democrats, Joe Biden has the best chance of defeating Trump? Outside of Joe and Jill Biden, you may be the only person on the planet who believes that. And, no, it's not just based on the debate. Surely you know that.

I am the only person who believes that? Historical data clearly points to all other options as being far worse at this point in time.

I think the difference between each side is people are looking at what they wish would've happened vs the reality of where we are. In an ideal world, the incumbent POTUS wouldn't be 81, or would've stepped aside and allowed for a healthy Democratic primary. All of these fantasies about a brokered convention or picking a candidate with little name recognition nationally, without a record to run on, who would need to build up their war chest from scratch is very much a losing proposition 4 months out from the most consequential election of our country's history. Harris is the only serious option and even the Bulwark staff has been seriously down on her for as long as I can remember. The other sad reality is this country's history of voting for women or minority candidates for POTUS.

So yes, I still think Biden has the best chance of defeating Trump.
