I was surprised to see a poll asking Democrats who they'd vote for as president today, seeing that the three names were Sanders, Warren, and Biden. (I'd expected the list to have people like Kamala Harris or Cory Booker.)

I'd be curious whom you'd choose, and also why, if you'd care to explain.

For me, of the three, I'd choose Biden. My problem with Warren is that her expertise is too limited, mostly finance. My problem with Sanders is that he's such a purist, and I think that his dream of a big citizen uprising is delusional.

Moderate Democrat here. If I had to, I would vote for Biden. I can't vote for Warren because she is too radical. I can't vote for Sanders because he is pie in the sky--thinks it's a perfect world or something. Lives in a fantasy world where everything is free.

There is one man who I would love to see as president and that is representative Seth Moulton from MA. A veteran who puts country first. He's very involved at the local level and also nationwide because he finds qualified veterans and urges them to run for office. He's not crazy about letting illegals in. He's practical and decent.

I want somebody new who hasn't been in the spotlight yet.

Okay, I realize that voters like shiny new toys, but that's not the question here.

So, you're a Dem, and if there were an election, you'd abstain and let Trump be re-elected?

Well, given no choice but the 3 on your list, I'd prefer Biden. But he wouldn't be my preference overall.

The Democrats instead of focusing on producing a young viable candidate fall back on low brow tricks. Again let me re-iterate I am for neither party and they are both full of sh**.

None of those people have a chance in hell of getting elected.

Joe Biden - They will ream him over the Anita Hill/Clarence Thomas spectacle now that has been refreshed in everyone's mind. Plus what has the guy done exactly?

Sanders/Warren - Both are too Left and will lose on purely because of that. Neither of them can get big companies behind them so they are screwed.

If I were a high ranking Dem I would be looking for Obama Part II the Mexican family values edition.

I want someone fresh and young. Trump is old and fat. If he runs again, he'll be like 74 or 75? He'll be using the same old dumb schtick.

I want someone young and energetic who is smart, smart and smart. Someone ethical who will not give his relatives jobs. Someone experienced in government, but not jaded or corrupt. Someone who can work with other people, build teams and unite people. And I want Beto on the ticket.

Basically, the polar opposite of what we have now.

I get that you would support Biden over the others as a moderate Dem, I probably would myself as well.

I lean left but more center left than radical left.

But, as a moderate Dem, surely you would vote for any of them over the orange maniac, correct?
