[QUOTE="grasping the after wind, post: 73963686, member: 256417"] Wasn't true then nor is it true now. It was speculation then and speculation now. Trump won the primaries but there is no actual way to know how any of the other candidates would have faired in a general election. Some people believe that Hillary Clinton was the sole possible candidate in a general election that Trump could have defeated. That certainly was the main theme of Trump's competitors in the Republican primary. When the field of candidates is as crowded as it was for the Republicans it is much more likely that a candidate that is significantly different than the others wins the nomination even when a number of that candidate's opposition could have been stronger in the general or have been the nominee had not so many similar candidates taken votes away form him/her if there had been a smaller field to begin with . Right now it would seem that is a definite positive for Joe Biden as being seen as the sole moderate in a huge group means even if only a quarter of Democrats agreed with his positions that would be sufficient to breeze to the nomination. When you divide the remaining 75 % between 20 or more candidates all taking pretty much the same positions on policies it is hard to imagine any of them coming close to 25%. So in primary after primary 25% would get it done. [/QUOTE]
