I'm betting on Amy Klobuchar; but I'd be perfectly happy with most of the other Democratic contenders.

It will be Warren and she will be a great president. I agree with you about Kamala Harris, she picked the wrong fight about bussing, a tired and old way to remedy the problem of failing schools.

Biden is the easiet candidate for Trump to beat. Biden is a centrist and is the favorite of the big corporate donors. Centrists, like Hillary Clinton, run unexciting campaigns. Biden will not inspire a large Democratic turnout.

Amateur pundits all say a progressive can't win the Midwest. This time is different: universal healthcare and affordable college look very appealing to the average middle class voter who are struggling to make ends meet. Same goes for student debt relief.

The best way to beat Trump is with a progressive candidate like Warren or Harris who offers the sharpest possible contrast in strong policy proposals, not a watered-down centrist like Biden who will make only incremental changes to the status quo.

That's what I thought when she ran for Attorney General and for Senate. In her AG race she was behind in the polls, behind in money and the major newspapers endorsed her opponent. Harris overcame that and won. She's a gifted politician. Do not underestimate her ability to win elections.

Tulsi Gabbard - she looks and sounds like the best option from a weak field

Warren and Kamala need to go to "Race 101" class because they seem to think they are American Indian (W) and African American. (K)

The Democrat Primary will be settled by the DNC ..... one way or another. They always "choose" the Candidate - at least that has always been how it worked & I doubt they want that changed. We don't know who the "chosen" one is -- but I also think it's probably Kamala Harris. Obama wanted her for his AG when Holder left and Harris thought the Senate was a better spot to launch her Presidential Campaign from. Harris has the top folks from the Clinton Campaign working for her.
She has been in the Pipeline for a while and paid her dues. She has a significant amount of dirty laundry, but they probably think they can "control" that via the Lapdog Media.

Most of the field is in the race for MONEY and in hopes of the VP spot. I wouldn't be surprised to see a ticket of Harris with Buttigieg as the VP choice. He fits neatly in one of Leftist Baskets. Harris of course lives in several of them. Neither Harris or Buttigieg have ANY experience at all with Foreign Policy or the Economy. That Foreign Policy thingy is what earned Biden a spot in 2008.

Emily's List did a Hit piece on Joe Biden today -- just more evidence that the real Party insiders don't want Biden. Harris hurt herself with a lot of the Black Community with her fake busing attack on him, Buttigieg talks a great campaign, but he has almost zero support in the Black Community.

Democrats/Leftists depend on the Baskets of Victims - they are having a lot of trouble herding those Baskets. The ONE advantage they have is that they OWN the Media, the biggest disadvantage they have is that this is 2019 and it's not going to be possible to go so far LEFT with the Radicals and then "pivot" to some sort of Center to win the General. The Video tape will do them in -- unless the Media can do some drastic removal .... unlikely in 2019, even though YouTube, Facebook & Google will do all they can to meddle in the Election of 2020.

And then there is AOC and her merry band of disrupters -- the scare all of them, but Nancy the most. No doubt they will have a strong voice and it can only help Donald Trump.

Keep thinking that way, and you'll send trump right back to the WH.

I’m starting to feel that it will be one or the other, but couldn’t pick which right now.
