Analysis: What if Trump has driven Democrats sane?
The Joe Biden polling surge has raised the frightful specter of Democratic rationality.
The commonsense play for the Democrats has always been to nominate a nonsocialist with appeal to Obama-to-Trump voters in former Blue Wall states — if not necessarily Biden, then someone with a similar relatively moderate profile. Certainly, Bernie Sanders dominated the intellectual and policy debate in the wake of his surprising run against Hillary Clinton in 2016, driving other presidential candidates to embrace his signature proposals. And Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is a genuine political star. Between them, socialism has gotten more traction than anytime in the past 50 years.
These voters were underserved by the rest of the field, and Biden is taking dead aim at them with the simple message that he can beat Trump. In a recent CNN poll, about half of Democrats said it’s “extremely important” that a candidate have a good chance of beating Trump, much higher than any other candidate quality. Journalists on the trail have reported hearing the same thing from Democratic voters.
