Poll: Majority of Dems want 'someone entirely new' to run in 2020

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

A majority of Democratic and independent voters want an entirely new name to compete for the Democratic Party's 2020 presidential nominee, according to a new poll.

A USA Today/Suffolk University poll released Wednesday found 66 percent of Democrats and independents chose “someone entirely new” from a list of possible contenders for the Democratic nomination in 2020. Of those surveyed, just 9 percent said that an unknown individual should not run.

Vice President Biden and Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) were the next-most popular choices. Forty-four percent of Democrats and independents said they would want Biden to run. Thirty-one percent said they would not want him to run.

The poll found 44 percent also said they would be excited to have Sanders take another shot at the Democratic nomination, while 38 percent would not want him to run.

14. I support this!

If we want to beat Trump, the same old, same old isn't going to cut it!

2. ...as they pop a grape in their mouth and look at their phones

I'm sick of voter preferences. Not just preference polls. I'm sick of voters having "preferences."

[LWolf]

3. I'm fine with that.

I admit that I'd support Sanders in a heartbeat, but it doesn't have to be him. He is working for us anyway. The only real requirement I have for 2020 is that the nominee be from outside the establishment, and NOT a neo-liberal.

Meanwhile, though, I enjoy thinking about Sanders.

4. It probably would be Biden in 2020 if it weren't for his age - he would blow away any of the

newer names (like Booker, Castro, Gillibrand, Cuomo, etc) that have been mentioned.

7. Newsome Castro 2020

6. No thank you.

8. they will get that. no fucking way Clinton, Sanders, Biden are running

they will all be too old for first term presidents.

9. Biden is the worst thing they could do

Prison gruel is moderately more exciting than the prospect of a Biden campaign.

11. Who is the Best Democratic Prospect Under the Age of 50?

Ideally, they would have a nice combination of smarts, charisma, and accomplishments.

Corey Booker comes to mind, but even he is pretty much an unknown nationally.

12. Don't forget it has to be someone who can raise $1B

or is independently wealthy.

I thinks got to be Oprah.

13. We're doing 2020 presidential polls already?

What is wrong with people?
