      I’m not playing down the seriousness of Trump’s actions. I’m just making the case that even with Trump on trial right now he’s leading in polls because Biden is so out of touch with what the base needs right now. It’s so bad that other prominent Democrats are calling out their own party and asking Biden to step down because they see it’s a liability.

      My point is independents see both parties and candidates and the party in power are making it so Biden, who is unpopular, is the default to the point they are taking away Iowa’s first super Tuesday as a primary state.

      The reason why is they don’t want any potential primary candidate to work up the ranks, which is undemocratic.
