TL;DR,
has there been any discussion as to Biden's chances of winning against Trump vs Sanders chances of winning against Trump. At the end of the day the objective of a % of the population, as i understand it, should be to get a Democratic (see what I did there) president into office. Therefore the logical idea would be to posiition to get the most promising challenger to be Trumps single opponent.
obviously some people love trump and will vote for him, and there are alot of such people (i cant see him losing to biden, equally i dont see him losing to sanders, but if people have crunched numbers, lets have them - who has the best chance?).
America is just wierd, the whole concept of not working together or helping their fellow man in fear of being percieved to be a commie is part of your/their cultural identity.
I think there's a pretty broad consensus among pundits that the Joe Biden we remember would be a stronger challenger for Trump than Sanders. The big question mark is if this version of Joe is still there.
