Anyone moderate enough to be a legitimate threat will never get through their primary.

The only 2 I think have a shot are Bernie and Biden. Everyone else will be destroyed, especially if they're dumb enough to go with Corey Booker or Kamala Harris.

That's a guaranteed lost in the Rust Belt and NC. Might play out in Florida if they'd like to get a beer with said candidate over Trump, but that's a high bar.

Harris will be at the top of the ticket IMO

I really think she's going to be shreaded falsely using identity politics to further her career. Her opponents aren't going to put up with that shite, especially the actual minorities.

I refuse to believe that Sanders is electable in a general election.

Biden, however . . .

I believe he's electable in the Rust Belt, which is really all that matters.

It literally cannot be a white male, so Bernie and Mitch are out.

It'll be a Booker / Harris ticket.

My guess is that Pennsylvania and Michigan go blue again regardless of who the dems run.

Hopefully I'm very, very worn and Trump cruises to a second term; but if we think the media is bad now, just wait until a Booker and Harris officially get rolling. They'll treat it like the second coming.
