1. The whole debate about "enthusiasm" for Biden is badly framed. In normal election, Democrats need both their loyal partisans and more marginal voters (who tend to be younger & poorer). Clinton 2016 had plenty of enthusiasm among partisans but fell short with marginal voters. https://twitter.com/RyanGirdusky/status/1244121323527438339 …

3. So: if this were a normal election, I'd worry about Biden. But 2020 is hardly normal. Trump is super-unpopular among Dems, including marginal voters. And while he's enjoyed a crisis bump, it's likely to fade after months of coronavirus & recession.

4. Also: the real source of Biden's appeal, which might extend beyond partisan Dems, is that he's NOT exciting: he's running as a generic Dem, a return to normality, a Democratic Warren Harding. Given crisis situation, many voters fight that attractive.

I’d say enthusiasm isn’t a sufficient condition for winning, but a necessary one.

That's because he has their beloved RDNC policies. He's a republican down to the bottom of his black heart.
