Out of their "big 4", i'd rank them:

Biden (strong with moderates, not as batsh*t crazy left as the rest, total media whitewash of his record ensured, strong Uniparty backing)
Buttgieg (latest media darling, contrast of "nice guy" vs. Trump)
Sanders (dedicated base, but limited upside, and his entry ensures Schultz runs)
Harris (pretty much everyone hates her)

Biden
Sanders
Warren

That’s my top 3; there are no other candidates with a shot in hell. Even warren is a stretch.

You think Warren has a shot?

lulz

Sanders
PedoJoe

Those are the only two who can make waves. Sanders more than Biden however. I'll be surprised if Biden runs though considering his creepyness factor has now been exposed. It will be endless fodder for the autists.

Biden



Sanders
Harris
Buttgieg

Jamie Dimon would be a serious threat if he ran (he won't) and if he could get nominated (he can't).

The silent majority will re-elect Trump via landslide, and Biden will go back to caressing small children again.

Honestly I think the only threat to Trump is Biden. He’s very liked by the Dems, he’s not a crazy socialist like the rest of them, and Obama’s voters. Those Obama voters in the Midwest will be the difference in who wins the election again. Would those Obama voters, who voted Trump last election, decide to go with Biden, or will they stick with Trump again. Those states will decide who wins the election once again

If they were smart they would run Gabbard.

I agree but she has a snowball's chance of hell in their primary. That's why I limited the list to the top 4. I think out of all the candidates, Gabbard would be the toughest matchup for Trump.

I don't think she gets past the radicals in the party, but I think Klobuchar would give the most trouble for Trump in the key states that need to flip.

I can't decide but I think I'd go this way:

1. _______ Pete - (for some reason my PG nickname for Pete has been banned by TD) I know what that poll said about gay candidates, but he is a mold-breaker like Obama was IMO).
2. Slutty Kamala Harris - She's like Hillary only black and slightly less off-putting.
3. Gropin' Joe Biden - He's a loser and doesn't worry me nearly as much as he does ya'll.
4. Crazy Bernie Sanders - I think he's too liberal to beat Trump but he would definitely turn out the youth vote and I think all the black celebs would be more effective at rallying their peeps to Bernie than they were to Hillary.

They are all on a level of the mouse that roared. Barring economic collapse, President Trump would shite stomp any of them.

#1 Adam Schiff.

Intelligence committee will be a pain in the arse at all times.
Might even turn something up.

#2. Sanders among candidates.
Would need booker or Harris vp. Stir up blacks to get out and vote in Florida, Michigan.

Tulsi Gabbard would be Trump's biggest threat if she could get the nomination. She's young, attractive, a veteran, and far more moderate than the rest of the democrat field which would help peel away independent voters.

But the dems are so far left now, that she doesn't have a shot in the primary.

Sanders (His populist stances will provide problems for Trump in the rust belt something that cost Hillary dearly in 2016)

Biden (Obama voters will turn to him and the establishment will back him majorly)

Warren (Tows the anti establishment and establishment line. Will give a tougher fight then Hillary)

obviously, we're talking about the general election. in the GE, I guarantee you that Tulsi Gabbard would give Trump the hardest time.

The Dems are much too Far Left to nominate her, but they might choose her as Veep. Even as Veep, I could see her peeling off some votes from Trump. Especially white women.

The mayor from Indiana is intriguing. His homosexuality could be a problem for him. Blacks, especially black men, don't view that lifestyle favorably. A lot of straight women don't care for gays, either. So, I'm not sure if Mayor Pete would be a good choice or not.

I could see Tulsi being Bernie's VP. Would be a far more dangerous threat to Trump then Hillary ever was
