My Hot Take: I'm amazed at how every Black demo is the key to Biden and Dems winning. One would think we make up more than 13% of the US population. It's like WTF are the other demos doing?

My Hot Take: I agree with a good portion of this. Biden's pathway runs through the Midwest. I don't see him losing Wisconsin, Michigan or Pennsylvania today. If he can lock in Arizona, then he's good.

My Hot Take: Again, smart politics. It's okay to test the waters in the Sun Belt, but you also want to lock up the Midwest as it has been trending whiter in the last decade or so. Biden can't lose Pennsylvania.

My Hot Take: Smart use of resources. Test Florida out to see if there's a pathway. Worse case, you make The Shit Show invest resources in a state that should be off the table. But I wouldn't do it at the expense of Georgia or even NC.
