light for him that the strategy that he s deploying right now is not really a great general election strategy if you want to get independents, particularly independent women back. my take away is the trend line. we re so early it s hard to say yes, this is it. elizabeth warren seems to be solidifying second. that s she s been in that position since that first debate and we ve seen camilla go up and down and biden go down and up. elizabeth seems to be calmly gaining momentum and if she turns out a debate, we might see that continue and could see paths cross. i m sorry. i think what gloria says is very true. democrats want to beat trump. it s always been true that core to joe biden s appeal is that he was viewed as the trump slayer and that he was the least risky choice. what happened in the last debate was he looked a little riskier
in ten democrats say it is much more important that a candidate who can beats trump than it is to have a candidate who agrees with him on the issues. in fact, omin our poll, only bernie sanders think the reverse. but overwhelmingly democrats want that trump slayer, if you will, and they see that at this moment still with joe biden. but that s why i think the recovery for biden in the next debate before that next large audience they ll have is so critical because if he doesn t show that he can actually perform on that stage, those numbers may change. that could be a piercing of what is basically his strongest suit. and what could work in his favor is where he stands right now. many see these democrats as
