Dems: Who is your preferred Democrat in 2020?

[GGover]

1. Bernie Sanders
2. Joe Biden
3. Brown (Jerry or Sherrod, I like them both)
4. Kirsten Gillibrand
5. Elizabeth Warren

I don't understand why people still support Hillary Clinton and Michelle Obama.

[Kingpoleon]

Wyden

I agree. My top choices are: Biden, Stavridis, Bel Edwards, Cuellar, Justice, Bullock, Cuomo, and Wyden. Wyden is the most realistic one, to me.

How is Wyden a more plausible nominee than Biden? Even Cuomo (lol) & Bullock (lmao) are more likely.

Yeah I'm a huge Wyden hack, but he isn't running.

Oops. I totally phrased that wrong. I meant of my top three, excluding too old people like Biden and Brown, he seems most likely. More likely than Stavridis and Bel Edwards, anyway, and certainly more likely to unite the party enough to win the general.

Merkley

[Co-Chair Bagel23]

So many good choices, and I would emphatically support any of them against Trump, but I got to go with Supreme Overlord Joe Bleeping Manchin! Of course that is contingent upon winning reelection in 2018. If not, my backup bro is Steve Bullock, with close seconds being Bernie, Franken, Edwards, Biden, and Michelle Obama.

[BuckeyeNut]

Sherrod Brown's the go to, but he won't. I plan to sit the primary out unless he runs, TBFH.

[JA]

Bernie Sanders, Sherrod Brown, Al Franken, and Elizabeth Warren are the only Democrats for whom I'd vote. Of those, I highly doubt Sanders or Brown will run, am somewhat doubtful Franken will, and am uncertain about Warren running at this point (although it's quite possible). If all 4 were to run, my support would go: Sanders > Brown > Franken > Warren.

[President Johnson]

Steve Bullock. He's appealing to middle-America, a fresh new face, has no baggage and is ideologically neither a super liberal nor a DINO. Second choice would be Kamala Harris. My dream ticket would be Bullock/Harris.

[MillennialModerate]

 I think we should keep in mind the goal is to win. So anyone deemed radically liberal is someone who leaves the chance of a loss. If we nominate someone electable then the chances of a win are very high against the circus that's in the WH right now.

I'd like to see someone like Cuomo run to be honest. Executive experience and can appeal to both wings of the party. My real favorite would be for Biden who I think would've won last time but he will be 78 by Jan 21 so he's out and personally I'd like to see Joe Kennedy but he's a little young.

[Lambsbread]

Bernie Sanders, Sherrod Brown, Al Franken, and Elizabeth Warren are the only Democrats for whom I'd vote. Of those, I highly doubt Sanders or Brown will run, am somewhat doubtful Franken will, and am uncertain about Warren running at this point (although it's quite possible). If all 4 were to run, my support would go: Sanders > Brown > Franken > Warren.

She may be bluffing, but Liz Warren has very adamantly stated that she will not run in 2020.


I think the fact that people are still supporting Hillary is absolutely mind-boggling. How did you not learn your lesson last year?

[Rookie Yinzer]

1. Bernie Sanders
2. Joe Biden
3. Brown (Jerry or Sherrod, I like them both)
4. Kirsten Gillibrand
5. Elizabeth Warren

I don't understand why people still support Hillary Clinton and Michelle Obama.

Still? When has Michelle Obama run for public office?

[Mr. Morden]

She may be bluffing, but Liz Warren has very adamantly stated that she will not run in 2020.

Not really.  She says I'm not running for president (present tense), which is how many of the candidates answer the question.  Putting her "denial" in the present tense, so that she can run in the future and not be lying.  And she refuses to make any ironclad pledges about serving her full term in the Senate if she's reelected next year:

Even after Susan Page calls her out on the fact that she’s not offering a Shermanesque denial, she doubles down on not giving a Shermanesque denial:

[Since I'm the mad scientist proclaimed by myself]

Harris or Franken, from who I really know.

Also why is zuckerberg in this poll? No one likes him.

[Possiblymaybe]

Sanders, Warren, S. Brown and Harris.

[HagridOfTheDeep]

The People's President.

[Cynthia]

Sherrod Brown
Al Franken
Amy Klobuchar
Elizabeth Warren
Jeff Merkley

My 5 favorites as of today

[Kleine Scheiße]

M'OM.

Gabbard, both Browns (prefer Jerry), and Franken are also options.

[Lechasseur]

John Bel Edwards, followed by Joe Manchin. I'd vote for either of them.
