Beto was gaining popularity after giving Lion Ted a run for his money; he's out.

Harris was the presumptive front runner amongst many news outlets following the first debate, but now she's out.

Biden, who many assume will win the nomination, is digging himself into a bigger hole each day with each gaffe he makes (the latest being a disturbing rant about kids in his lap).

Will he hold on?

It’s going to be a McGovern in 72 at this point... whoever wins will be so punched out and the party so divided that they get their shite pushed in.

Probably a white person that promises the world to minorities. The problem is too many minorities have caught on to the scam to give Dems a clear edge in the presidential election.

Brokered convention. Super delegates pick the winner in round 2. I have said from day 1, I believe the swamp rats want Creepy Joe.

I never thought Crazy Bernie could win, especially after the heart attack. But if the centrist vote is split between Pete and Biden, and Warren keeps imploding, Bernie has a shot.

Slow Joe is the closest thing they have to a candidate who can unite everyone they need to win. And it still won’t work.

Most other candidates only appeal to a very small sliver of the party and actively upset other factions, such as Bernie, Buttgieg, etc. Joe had “street cred” as Obama’s running mate to get black and blue collar whites to not shut the door on him entirely as well as having the party’s money men behind them.

It would seem so. That is the only way to explain him not being absolutely eaten alive for his weirdness.


Whether it is Biden, Warren, Buttigieg, Sanders, etc., I don't see any of them to be able to galvanize a base like Trump. Also, I do not see any of those doing well amongst minority voters

How anyone can actually listen to what Pete says and continue to say that he's a centrist is beyond me. And Biden lurches further left every time it's convenient for him and whoever he's talking with.

Steyer will be the final survivor

1. He hates Trump openly. Dems want someone who will fight
2. He is “Green” as frick
3. Now that Bloomberg is in, he isn’t the only rich white guy. He is the much less rich white guy
4. He has no actual record to defend
5. He is willing to spend money
6. All the other candidates are even more flawed than him

That's an easy question. Someone for which I will not vote.

I’m sticking with my original pick.

It’s going to be Biden.

Still doesn’t solve the problem of “Why do gays and ethnic minorities vote for a rich white guy?”

Being green isn’t enough to get the 90% or more of the black vote a Dem needs to really compete in certain states.

I agree, and maybe centrist isn't the right word. I guess we'll just call it the Dems who don't like Bernie or Warren. Biden and Pete will split that vote, likely along racial and generational lines. Young/white will go Pete; old/black will go Biden.

I agree with you on those points

I just think he is going to win the “smartest guy on the short bus” and get the nomination

The group they are running is epically bad
