Gun to your head, who wins the 2020 democratic nomination?

Being firmly of the belief that Clinton and Biden are both going to sit out, I think Franken has it if he runs. If not, Harris, and Fake Lord help us all*.


*Note: I'm not the sort of idiot who would suggest that Harris is some sort of Bookeresque moderate and sellout, but I very strongly believe that Trump would walk all over her.

If its not going to be one of the "big, old names" (Biden, Sanders, Warren, or God forbid Hillary), my guess is that its going to be Booker. The dude is so damn charismatic. I know us political nerds have reasons to not love him, but right now he's the only one of these young guns that I really see getting people all fired up over.

Gillibrand, the one one who has some emotions & charisma.

Booker, Harris, Cuomo, Klobuchar, etc have 0 charisma. I can't see someone with 0 charisma & appeal winning the nomination. Booker has more charisma than Klobuchar, but even Hillary Clinton has more charisma than Klobuchar.

Warren

Biden

I just have a feeling it's going to be Gillibrand. Don't know why, could be wrong. Biden would win if he ran, but I don't think he will.

I don't think Bernie's going to run again, and if he did he wouldn't do as well since it will likely be a much more crowded race with no one as controversial as Clinton, so he won't be able to just unify the anti-whoever vote. It's for that reason Warren won't win, and she also doesn't have the populist crossover appeal with the working class guys that Sanders did. People are mistaking Bernie's performance for a full bodied embrace of socialism by the Dem rank and file when really it was just a result of the deep dissatisfaction a lot of people felt with Clinton, which was a bad omen for the general.

I hope it's Gillibrand, but I'm still guessing it's Warren.
