There was always an outside chance former Vice President Joe Biden would be able to come back after losing Iowa and New Hampshire, and now, with a bounce from South Carolina and wins in Texas, Virginia, Massachusetts, Minnesota, Oklahoma, Tennessee, Alabama and Arkansas, he is the Democratic frontrunner to take on President Donald Trump in November. Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders, a self-described democratic socialist, however, may still have enough momentum to force a showdown for the heart and soul of the Democratic Party at the convention in Milwaukee, after winning California, Colorado and Utah convincingly. After Super Tuesday, Biden leads in delegates 453 and 382, and next up are Idaho, Michigan, Missouri, Mississippi, North Dakota and Washington on March 10. So far, the race is close enough that there is a high likelihood that neither Sanders nor Biden will accumulate enough delegates in time for the convention — benefitting none other than President Trump, who gets to spend the next several months highlighting the negatives of both opponents, and capitalizing on Democrats’ division in the 2020 landscape. What do you think?
