Biden will say like 4 more weird thing between now and Nov has popularity will drop like a 50 ton brick
Out of the 3 and Biden the others are just running to boost their political careers
Buttigieg does not have enough political experience to being running now he needs to try again in 8 to 12 years
Harris is the nail in the coffin for republicans she is black and a woman I can see the camping ads if you do not want Obama again see what that got us vote Republican
Booker was sane and level headed a few years ago I do not know why he has gone off the rails some
Castro does not have enough experience either and he is Mexican Republicans hate them
Bernie Sanders - Not happening. Establishment democrats in the party would rather see Trump remain President over Sanders taking it. His career ended in 2016 when he endorsed Hillary's platform, after running against it. He only comes off as angry now. Many of the Bernie Bros aren't there anymore. They got jobs under Trump and are no longer basement dwellers as Hillary called them.
Elizabeth Warren - Unelectable on a national basis. She's never going to get over the DNA thing. The rest of her platform is too radical for the general electorate and more importantly, very unlikeable. Finally, I do agree with Hillary somewhat that the first woman who is elected President is going to have to overcome a bias that men don't face. Warren, IMO, can't pull that off.
Beto O'rourke - His campaign is dead. Pete Buttigieg took all his support. Buttigieg is everything that "beh toe" isn't. He did, afterall, spend $80,000,000 to lose an election to a very unlikeable politician.
Joe Biden - Default candidate. There's a good chance he'll take the nomination based on what's known now. Nobody likes it, and most don't think he can really win against Trump, but it is what it is. He's the 2020 John Kerry, Mike Dukakis, Bob Dole but not not as good as any of them.
Pete Buttigieg - I don't buy, "he needs more experience" stick being applied by establishment democrats. Democrats should know by now that being branded a career establishment politician is a liability with this general electorate. Pete is an outsider, a veteran, not crazy and hasn't been tainted by years of Washington. Buttigieg remains the Democrats best chance at a counter to Trump.
Kamala Harris - The announcement of Obama's VP as a candidate seems to killed her chances. Her test will be South Carolina.
Cory Booker & Castro - I don't think they will get a fair chance to make their platforms known.
However, there are some unknowns here. There are big parts of the Democrat party which don't seem to be lining up behind Biden. And who are the Obama & Clinton camps really supporting. A lot of this is going to be flushed out in South Carolina.

IDK have lots of time left till Primaries next year. Still rooting for a moderate and the underdog.
Plan on voting for Bennett. If he is not around come April then Ryan. Then work my way down to Moulton. Then Gabbard. Then Bullock. Then Klobouchar. Then Delaney. One of then has to still be in the race by Primary time lol.
I do not think Sanders or O'Rourke have a chance. Sanders has angered a lot of folks within the party by his supporters continued 2016 pity party, is seeing rising hostility form moderates who are looking at him as actually believing a brand of socialism has merit as opposed to the crazy older uncle you laugh with at family dinners, and he seems to be losing a lot of ground to Warren who simply has more substance.
O'Rourke and Buttigeig have resumes and accomplishments that are too thin. And I think the police shooting town hall Buttigeig just held is going to really being a problem in terms of looking like a leader- especially whne you don't have a long enough record to counter perceptions of weakness.
Only 3 Dems Have a Chance The Rest Are Just Running To Boost Their Political Careers
This is a traditional ploy, used by many. Including Trump, who ran twice as a third-party candidate.
Overall, I'm leaning Warren, because so far, she has the most specific policy proposals.
But I'll know more as the campaign progresses.
