Early in the campaign (long before there was any discussion of Biden not

Biden didn't run, was there anybody the Dems could nominate that they
wouldn't vote for?  With one exception, every single Biden supporter
said no, they'd vote for whoever the democratic nominee happened to be.
The single exception was one smartass who said that if the Dems
nominated Trump, he wouldn't vote for him.  That guy gets points for
snark, at least.

Love him or hate him, you have to give marketing props to Trump.  He
successfully made the entire election about ->him<- and nothing else.

You're talking about Democrats, though. I'm talking about the kind of
candidate who could have won over the floating/undecided voters in the
swing states.
