OK, libs: Who’s your favorite so far?

[wyomingosualum]

Lots of options. If you had to pick a potential future president out of the declared candidates, who you got?

And would you stick with your pick if Michelle Obama jumped in?

Moderate checking in here.

I fully expect these people to join the race so adding to the already declared:
Joe Biden
Beto O'Rourke

Sleeper = Bob Iger if he throws his hat into the mix and gets his wife on board for the grind of a Presidential Race.

Tulsi Gabbard
Howard Schultz
Joe Biden
Amy Klobuchar

If I'm the Democrat Party Leaders I try and pair up Biden with a strong woman VP candidate like a Gabbard or Klobuchar as that ticket could realistically speak to the center left, moderate democrats, independents.

I don't understand the love for Harris, she seems extremely fake and don't think she plays well in places like the Midwest.

Harris likes Snoop. She used to listen to his lyrics and how he treated a bitch like 7-up...he never has he never will. He be like “Bitch, you without me is like Harold Melvin without the Blue Notes...you’ll never go platinum.”

Those lines were clever, though.

Say you're on the left... would you rather have "excitement" or win the election?

Not to derail this topic but I don't think Pence will ultimately be Trump's running mate for 2020 even if he said so recently.

Biden is by far the best chance for the Left to take back the White House.

To be completely honest I feel a little weird that we agree.

Shit happens. Like I’ve tried to say before I’m an Independent that puts America first. Right now the Dems seem to be only ones interested in doing something that looks remotely like what I’m hoping to see.

I was there with you until your second sentence.

Agree to disagree, don't want to derail the thread.

Again, what candidates are the most appealing to you? This board is about discussing Politics and I like to have meaningful conversations when I get the time away from work, how about you add to the conversation?

I agree. Figure it’ll be Nikki

That would be awesome.

 

[CowboyUp]

Sherrod Brown/Tammy Duckworth

 

[Syskatine]

Sherrod Brown/Tammy Duckworth

There ya go. He's gonna be a darkhorse.

I'm not blown away by Kamala. Does she get the south black vote? Hillary and Obama both had that in their pocket. It's not always easy to tell. My early handicap is her #1 with CA and the southern black vote, and Brown #2 with Ohio and the upper midwest.

The Tulsi Gabbard thing is just crazy, I still haven't gotten my arms around it. She' seems perfect, but does seem to have this weird Assad/Russia thing. She could say a lot more to rip him and Russia. I mean... she's the only one sayign GTFO? This is a democrat primary and she's supposed to feel defensive for saying get out of the ME? Pokeabear says she's a Putin stooge too. I gotta get my arms around her, metaphorically speaking. I'd rather look at her than Kamala.

i appreciate your breakdown and efforts at discussion

i honestly don’t know who could be electable

schultz can’t do it w/o the dem party
biden (old white guy)
will get devoured by the zealots

the zealots are just that
harris booker gilliland bernie

warren no way

maybe one of the chicks of

klobuchar
gabbard

but if the two chicks get off on the
green new deal train they got problems with unions and free thinking people, same as religious far right social policy was killing repubs

 

[CowboyUp]

My dream ticket would have been a native Texan who could win Texas (Sully Sullenberger) with a Midwesterner—Duckworth or Klobuchar.

But Sully’s not running.

But it’s all about flipping back Pa., Ohio, Michigan and Wisconsin for the Dems. Texas and Florida are fool’s gold. So I’d go with some combo of Brown, Biden, Duckworth, and Klobuchar. Possibly add Corey Booker to the mix. I like Kamala but electorally not sure what she brings to the Electoral College.

Seriously, I don’t think Beto carries Texas.

Thanks for breaking that down. I agree with a lot of what you said.

It will be interesting how the primaries shakes out - do some of the candidates go more towards the center and risk getting ganged up on? Do they turn hard left and then expose themselves to Trump in the ultimate face-off? You know he's looking to "pounce"

If one of the rich folk - Shultz or Iger (with some Oprah backing) run as an independent it would be difficult to beat Trump's hardcore base and would likely pull votes from someone like Harris when talking to Moderates/Independents.

you have to co-opt the party ala trump
you can’t run indy

there’s an ingrained level of stupidity that’s a very real problem for the dems

donald effin trump was elected president on a maga message beating the highest level of scripted machine the dems could possibly generate

dem is the party of protest
otardcare abject failure

how does the “green new deal” do anything but destroy union vote in the very states they need back?

total road to nowhere counting on mass human ignorance and tds
