      1. As the presumptive nominee, Biden is in pretty good shape for the general. He's consolidating support in the party and has a robust lead in national polls. The one weak area is enthusiasm, where he's weakest Democratic candidate in 2 decade.pic.twitter.com/UMG4QEzSWU

      Which is exactly the same thing you would have said for the people who voted for Romney, Kerry, & Dole.

          No doubt. Not trying to express hope. I have none. The facade of American democracy had a good long life but now can’t get a ventilator.

          Those candidates were always trailing in the polls. They lost because they had fewer supporters, not because their supporters were less enthusiastic.

          Sort of a silly article to write in early April, in the middle of a pandemic. Why don’t we wait to measure enthusiasm when Biden is officially the nominee and Sanders has endorsed him. Wouldn’t that be a better time?

          Actually no. I would have been mostly OK with Romney. I voted for Bush, Clinton, Obama, Bush Sr., and o too will vote against Trump with the passion of many a supernova.

          Kerry outperformed the fundamentals in 2004. https://twitter.com/tenner_david/status/1247305515908071428 … (Arguably one could say the same of Dole in 1996 considering peace, prosperity and the Perot candidacy.)

          People forget that Kerry actually outperformed fundamentals in 2004. The economy was good, Bush still had some of his 9/11 aura, and the Iraq war wasn't nearly as unpopular as it would be by 2006. And yet if not for long lines in OH Kerry could well have won!
