One of the early truisms of the 2020 Democratic nominating contest was that Democrats wanted nothing more than to beat President Trump. There’s typically a connection between overall support in a primary and the perception that a candidate has the best chance of winning in the general election, but this year, that seemed to be amplified: If you only care about winning in 2020, how could you not support the candidate who seemed to have the best chance of winning?
That assumption was always iffy. CONT.
