Biden will win in the GE; Sanders and Warren will not. Without a win and full repudiation of Trump and Trumpism, the country will lose everything. No policy position will matter.

Right now Warren is on an upswing but her positioning on healthcare is a clear Achille's heel. Medicare 4 All is popular on the left but not across the country. She has taken Bernie's position in the one policy that all polls point to as the 'most' important to voters. If she continues with the Bernie plan, the position will be an anchor around her neck and campaign. If she throws the policy overboard, opting for the vastly more popular public option, she will come off looking like a flip-flopper. Can't have it both ways and the questioning over M4A and necessary funding (taxes) will continue, not cease. Being evasive about the question will not work long-term. She's painted herself into a corner.

Joe Biden can provide the transition we need to repair the damage Trump and his enablers have wreaked, get us back on an even keel domestically and abroad and prepare the ground so we can move forward on the serious issues at hand.

Losing 2020 is not an option, not if we want a future for ourselves and children.
