Go Dems, bring on another Blue wave 🌊 in 2020!
FYI...My second choice is Biden. (Heart with Warren, Head with Biden).
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
Mike 03
(16,616 posts)Warren is still my favorite.
Then Pete Buttigieg, just about tied with Biden and Klobuchar.
I like Michael Bennet a lot but he's toast.

(70,086 posts)i was at jan schakowsky's holiday party last week. i had a chance to talk to her hubs a bit, bob creamer, a great dem strategist.
they are on team ew. but i told him i was loving the crowded field. all the different idea, pov's, and all out there, getting face time on my teevee, and bashing trump. he agreed, w a large smile on his face.
i like yang, castro, klobachar, booker especially.
i even enjoy seeing tom steyer and bloomie out there spending their money to take it all down, tho i wouldnt vote for either in a primary.

(13,390 posts)I see them as the only two who represent a departure from the toxic masculinity and white fragility that facilitated the rise of Trump.

(1,773 posts)I'll admit my heart is with Sanders, though. I'm a Socialist and would love for him to be our first openly doctrinaire Socialist President. However, that said, I really want Trump out at all costs in 2020 and I just don't think it's possible for him to win the Democratic Party nomination.

(4,558 posts)Behind Biden, he polls better in the battleground states than the rest.
Winning the battlegrounds = >270 electoral votes. Thats what matters, thats what will remove trump.
primary today, I would vote for: Undecided

(68,553 posts)I do agree that he is the only one who has a shot other than Biden but not a good shot. I will vote for whoever is the nominee.

(1,086 posts)First I think most everyone can beat Trump. So that is less of problem. So I'm more concerned with Power. Getting it, Using it, and as important Retaining it, long enough to matter with the massive problems we have. Not an individual's power but progressive power.
That means down ballot and 2022. Which is why I'm on my candidate.
But we are fortunate that we have Pelosi so my second choice is dependent on her. Right now that would be Warren or Biden.
Biden because he is basically a follower, but has the ability to choose the right people to follow at the right time in general. Warren because she is smart enough to know what she doesn't know, and will be pushing the House in a more progressive direction, but allow Pelosi to do the maneuvering.
primary today, I would vote for: Undecided
Politicub
(12,165 posts)My second choice will be the democrat who builds most momentum during the nomination process.
Reason being, it hurts the overall democratic cause to back a candidate who has no path to winning the nomination. We will not be sure who this person may be until the primaries start happening.
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden

(68,553 posts)electable other than Biden...although I would do my damnedest to win in a general with any candidate.

(25,487 posts)Bernie Sanders would be a disaster in the general election for Democrats.
And as much as I like Liz, she would be a problematic general election candidate as well.
Klobuchar or Biden will win the general election.

(19,473 posts)And at this point, I expect him to be the nominee. If that's what happens, I'd be delighted if he chose Pete Buttigieg as running mate, but I know that he wouldn't.

(938 posts)Second choice is Amy K, but I like all of them - Tulsi the least. Bernie would be my second choice for policy, but I don't consider him electable in a general.
Definitely blue no matter who in the general, up and down the ballot.
