Who do you think will be the democratic nominee for this year’s presidential election and why do you believe so? What would your predicted candidate bring to the plate that would please Americans? Will that person beat trump?

Bloomberg, no one can come close to outspending him. No he can't beat Trump. Too many skeletons in his closet.

I agree, Bloomberg, but he will beat Trump. Trump showed us that skeletons don't mean anything. I think people will ignore any skeletons because they just want someone who is sane, not an extremist, and can be a competent leader of this nation, and Bloomberg delivers on all that.

Many Bernie bro’s will skip the election if the nomination is stolen from their candidate yet again....

So you’ll either have a socialist running for president (lol) or reduced democrat voter turnout.

Either way Trump wins.

Well you have this....

Mike Bloomberg 'wants Hillary Clinton as his running mate', sources close to his campaign tell Drudge

I've never thought it would be quid pro quo Joe so now I think it's down to Crazy Bernie the Communist and the survivor of Mayor Pete and Amy Klobuchar....I think if Amy can stand up during the debates and speaking engagements, many Dems will rally behind her to make her the nominee. Mayor Pete is the most gifted politician on the Dem side but I just don't think he's quite ready at this juncture to be President.

Kobuchar is the only Dem with a shot to be a uniter if she chooses to go that path. I still think odds are heavily in Trump's favor.

p.s. I had kind of forgotten about Mini-Mike but he's racist enough to qualify to be the Dem nominee with his "all crimes are committed by black males" statements.

Bloomberg takes the nomination at a brokered convention because he has not been scarred up by the debates.
But he loses to Trump because Bloomberg has a track record in New York that will not appeal to moderate independents.

Bernie Sanders.

He excites young voters and he appeals to people who don't normally participate in the voting process but seek out someone who will blow up the system.

Furthermore, like his views or not on policy, he's honest plus unbought by special interests, which is an extremely rare trait in politics.

Nope, not Hilary. Amy Klobuchar would be an excellent VP candidate for Bloomberg. More than likely, he will only run the one term, and Amy could step in as our first woman President.
