Why choose people for the list who are not running (Clinton, Obama) and leave out names who have already declared they are running? It's pointless to say so, but I guess of your picks, Bernie has the biggest chance of actually winning.

That field is the product of the OP’s imagination.

White straight male wont play to the Dem base tho.
Bernie, a white straight male, appealed to millions in the primary.

Beto, another white straight non- Hispanic, male, recieved 48.3% of votes, in Texas.

Of course it's likely, that list isn't even half the already declared runners.

I think Biden/Klobuchar would be a solid ticket with an unspoken understanding that Biden would serve one term and pass the baton to Klobuchar. Dems will be playing into Trump's hands if they nominate a lefty like Elisabeth Warren. Not to mention the fact that Trump and the pubs would have a field day mocking Warren for lying about her background.

After last night's townhall, I think maybe Buttigieg. Unbelievably good--I know he's young--but he could decimate Trump in a debate without one iota of emotion or fear.

In theory, dems can hope that Biden will help win over moderate dems and independents, and Bernie will bring in all the far-right liberals/progressives.

One thing dems have going for them now that they didn't in 2016 is unity in their dislike for Trump. In 2016, many Bernie supporters did not show up to the voting booths because they didn't like Hillary.

But Clinton is out of the picture now (thank God), and democrats are unified in their dislike for Trump (much like conservatives were unified in 2016 with their hatred of Obama).

The best way to beat Trump in 2020 (if he's still in office by then) is to run a Biden/Bernie ticket, that way you have both ends of the democratic spectrum covered, from moderates/independents to liberal progressives. democrats in between will all fall in line.

I think Trump probably loses the popular vote again like he did in 2016, but it depends on the big swing states whether or not he gets the electoral college.
Biden born in 1942, would be his 3rd time to run for President & never got more than 8% of the vote.
Bernie born in 1941 and a Socialist
3rd in line woul be Pelosi born in 1940.

1,2,3 ... all 80 years old or knocking on the door of 80.
I’m very doubtful this is a winning combination.

Except Sherrod has trouble putting sentences together. But what difference does that make?

KLobutcher has a long debris trail of abused staff, she's got a wide mean streak. Can you imagine the months--"potatoe" anyone?--or years of fallout if a Republican was reported to have eaten their salad with a comb, in a fit of pique?

That is 1.Not a good tool; 2.Incredibly nasty; 3.Shows a total lack of initiative, unwilling to walk 10 feet to find a fork.
I guess that's CPUSA "main stream."

Funny that a bisexual 42 and a homosexual 44 president never claimed it, despite the "party" saying those are the ones they love the best. Wouldn't honesty in that regard (noting that "honesty" and "Hillary" together in a sentence is heresy) have put Hillary over the top in the last election? Funny, very funny.

You'd think Democrat candidates would fly to this issue like moths to the flame. Wait, maybe that's not a good expression. How about mice to the cheese?

Of all those communist losers, I'd take Pocohontas. A good Taxxachusetts commie. I think she's the least dangerous in a field of very dangerous communist operatives.

I really have no idea about Clinton, but what possible reason would you have for asserting that Obama, who is married to a woman, is gay?
