If it came down to Biden vs Sanders

[°Leprechaun]

Easy for me: Bernie Sanders

I think both of them are vastly overrated in terms of electability (not to say they both couldn't win, but I doubt it would be a landslide like current polls show), and neither one of them offer a platform or strategy I'm particularly keen on. They're both also too old. I'd need to watch the debates and campaigns before deciding.

I would predict a close election (assuming Trump is the GOP nominee which I think is the most likely scenario at this point), regardless of who the Democratic candidate is. I don't see any perfect candidate thus far, nor any Democrat who could win in a landslide. Trump is certainly unpopular now, but he didn't have good approval ratings before he was elected. As unhappy as most people are with Trump, defeating him depends on picking a good candidate, and while it is true polls show Sanders and Biden beating him, certainly it is too soon to predict Trump's loss, even though there seem to be those who think he will lose.

Biden for sure. I have mixed feelings about him and think he is overrated in terms of his character but if Sanders or anyone in the far left wing of the party is nominated I will either vote third party or for Trump.

Lean Biden. I could very easily end up supporting Sanders, though. Neither are in my highest tier of potential candidates.

[Co-Chair Bagel23]

Biden, I would give it a little thought though

[Grumpier Than Thou]

It depends. I'm inclined to believe that Bernie's window has closed and that the general electorate is not ready to support an avowed Democratic Socialist...even if they don't like Trump. Biden is inoffensive enough to win over disaffected moderates and perhaps even anti-Trump Republicans.

Third party/independent. Both are too far to the left on social issues for me to reconcile a vote for one of them.

[I’m not Stu]

Biden

[The Undefeatable Debbie Stabenow]

I would be really torn between the two. Neither of them are close to my favorites: I wish Biden was farther to the left, I don't like a lot of rhetoric Sanders and his faction have been pushing recently, and both of them are frankly too old. Ideologically, I like Sanders more, but personality and electability wise, Biden comes out on top. It would really come down to their campaigns, because I would truly fall in the middle.

Easy for me: Joe Biden !

[Mr. Smith]

But are too old, but I'll go with the one who didn't falter because of plagiarism accusations from a campaign run by a man who somehow lost by 8 points to Bush Sr and ran a decent campaign in spite of an inherently hopeless campaign.

Biden had his chance and he didn't take it. Sanders has at least managed to pull a bit of a Goldwater or Reagan '76 by shifting the conversation.

[Eraserhead]

Bernie Sanders, without a doubt.
