Best candidate to beat Trump - Andrew Yang or Elizabeth Warren?

[Queen Isuelt]

Yang raised 2m over thanksgiving.

Warren is being squeezed by Pete Buttigieg ‘upper middle class’ liberal elites and Bernie crowd. Yang does have momentum and his campaign is growing.

Warren needs to shake things up but her campaign isn’t dead so could comeback but it’s looking difficult.

[MR DARK BRANDON]

Yang easily.

[Mercenary]

Yang, not even close.
Yang's hurdle is the prinary, not the general.

Warren is the opposite, she is much more the ideal primary candidate but a fairly mediocre or even bad general elecion candidate.

That said I think either would beat Trump.

Yang has unique crossover appeal. He just presents himself in a way that doesnt turn of independents or even soft Rs as much as most other candidates. The only other candidate with crossover appeal is too disliked by her party unfortunately.

It's so Atlas that Yang is winning this poll, but anyway...

The candidate I personally like better, of course. The candidates and ideology that I personally like are uber-electable, while those which I don’t like are completely unelectable.

[amdcpus]

I don't like either of them, but easily Yang.

[W]

Yang has broader appeal.

[SN2903]

Yang he is more likable and has broader appeal especially among different ethnic groups.

[Rat]

Without a doubt, Yang. To quote one of the previous posters:

[Progressive Pessimist]

Tough call. I really don't know. Warren is somehow the more down-to-earth candidate, though I'm not sure that's an appealing trait anymore for our voting populace.

[Beet]

No question in my mind Warren. Anti-corruption-- popular. Economic populism-- popular among working class voters. Democratic reforms-- neutral at worst.

In comparison Yang just has one gimmick.

[Queen Isuelt]

What’s Yangs gimmick?

[adamevans]

Assuming Yang has amassed the coalition of Democrats to win the nomination, Yang is more electable. Warren, however, objectively has better appeal to the Democratic base, so if we’re just skipping the primary and giving the nomination without any process, it’s hard to say.

[libertpaulian]

Yang.

Warren has already shown herself to be a weak general election candidate in response to Buttigieg's handling of her at the debate.  Instead of holding her ground, she backtracked and made her healthcare plan into a Diet Pete plan.  Bernie NEVER would have done such a thing.

If she can't handle a barely middle-aged Midwestern mayor, how's she going to handle Trump?!

[RaphaelDLG]

Yang does have an unusual crossover appeal, but once the right-wing media whips up its anti-ubi anti-socialism campaign, how many republicans will really cross over? 

And will the democratic base actually turn out for Yang?  Warren is kind of a jack of all trades as far as democratic base turnout goes, with some degree of appeal to progressives, minorities, young people, and mainstream democrats.

[John Dule]

Why is every Democrat with crossover appeal to the Republicans viewed with suspicion in this campaign? People talk about wanting to reach out to Obama-Trump voters but the moment someone appeals to them, they call it "problematic."
