      Another poll shows Biden with a huge lead, consistent with other polls. (Fox News doesn't conduct the poll, so don't try dismissing it on that ground). The obsession on the part of some Bernie supporters with "unskewing" polls is foolish and self-defeating https://www.foxnews.com/politics/fox-news-poll-5-16 …pic.twitter.com/6pCow05Lvb

      Here's another poll using different methodology (Morning Consult does online polling with a much larger sample size) and it shows a similar result. Actually Biden has an even bigger lead. So enough stupid poll trutherism, please. Morning Consult got the popular vote right in 2016pic.twitter.com/d1NUYJeB4W

      Yes it's early but lots of indicators suggest people are paying close attention to the race, even at this phase. Can't underestimate the crazy level of electorate-wide politicization that has occurred under Trump. So, early polling may be more predictive than in previous cyclespic.twitter.com/cXrBL9bdYh

      It's really irritating and even pathetic that people on the internet can't distinguish between 1) Impartially analyzing Biden's obvious strengths as a candidate seeking the Democratic presidential nomination and 2) Supporting Biden on the merits, which I obviously do not

          Jesus Christ, you're annoying. Love your work, but why do you insist on poking everyone in the eye at all times? Wasn't Jeb Bush leading the Republican polls around this time in 2016?

          Jeb's ceiling was at 15%, Biden's ceiling is at or above 40% (Enough to be the nominee) In other words Biden is a much stronger front runner than Jeb

          Biden is clearly the favorite. I watched him speak. Slurring words, moving slowly. Not sure he has the stamina to make it. 2016 was his time, I was ready for him too.

          Don’t confuse institutional strength with strength as a candidate. Biden will end up underperforming Hillary Clinton, who at least had a coherent record and worldview to run on.

          I'm always nagging you, so you should know, Kennedy kissed my cheek over a rope line during the '60 campaign, I was 2 and will never forget a second of it. When he was killed, I took it personally. My kindergarten teacher broke down when they came in and told her. So it sparked..

          He died a year before 9/11. I was glad he never saw what happened to the county he fought for. He would have died of shame. I want to live to see this fixed before I die. It's a lot to ask.
