Democratic Primaries
Related: About this forumopen question: who are your top 3 choices?
the Bernie supporters' #2 & #3 thread is pretty nifty, so i thought it would be interesting to see what intersections emerge if the same question were asked across the board? is there someone who kind of appeals to everyone showing up consistently as a #3 choice? the primary race is still young, and the situation is fluid.
anyway, open question, rank 'em if you like. right now, my top 3 are Booker, Yang, and Sanders, for different reasons, but i haven't got a firm #1 (and really anyone could bump their way into my top 3 set under the correct circumstances).

Also like Swalwell, but not sure he's ready for prime time.

(2,113 posts)Beto is honestly the only one that truly inspires and motivates me and makes me wish I didn't have health issues so I could volunteer.
Biden is the safe choice, the one I am 100% confident in being able to jump into the role on day one and have no learning curve.
Klobuchar/Harris/Booker are all candidates I'm fairly familiar with due to their current roles and I have not heard them come across as being too far left for my taste.

(5,164 posts)Is the only one on my list so far. I dont think any of others can win. But whoever the nominee is they will have my vote. I like Harris, Warren and Swalwell so far and some of the others seem pretty good. I have never been one to fall in love with or get excited about a candidate. I vote for the best candidate in the primary and the dem in the election and that is that. Now it is a matter of winning primarily. Who can beat dump.

(10,189 posts)I would vote for any of the current Democratic candidates in the general election. I don't want to hear any more of the "I just can't support the lesser of two evils, so I'm voting 3rd party" garbage.

(11,611 posts)Elizabeth Warren and Amy Klobuchar round out my top 5. There's only a few of our candidates I don't care for, but I would vote for any of them over the orange menace in the general.

(14,565 posts)Not complicated. I believe all 3 are likable and charismatic enough to survive the Trump/GOP onslaught.
I believe Klobuchar is the sharpest of the lot and would charm the nation while frustrating Trump. But I'm not going to kid myself regarding the 1-2 crucial points were surrender by nominating a female.

(12,265 posts)Buttigieg, Biden and Harris. It is easier to say who my bottom three are, Sanders, Gabbard and Gillibrand. I could easily vote for any of the others in the primary.

(288 posts)I'm hesitant to jump on the Mayor Pete bandwagon
Warren seems lost; Booker-why is he running except to take votes away from Harris; the others are white men, and yes I know Biden is an older white man but he served with Obama which goes a long way in my book
maybe Klobucher

(2,728 posts)Sen. Sanders and Biden following the above three.
There is no candidate I have excluded for consideration in the primary, and none I wouldn't support in the general.
We have many fine candidates to take down the trump regime in 2020.

(23,955 posts)so early in the race, very few of us will be 100% committed, but some have found personal top tiers. in the "who would you pick today" DU clicky poll and at the ballot box we only have one choice, but we have many cool candidates.

(261 posts)Which I understand now. I think I was just airing my 2020 anxiety too publicly. But the question, minus all my reservations, is a good one.

(1,399 posts)Fantasyland ticket is Biden/Obama (Michelle), just to give Trump and half of his supporters a coronary. I think enough of them would spontaneously combust to throw the election, starting with Sean Hannity (what does burning Brylcreem smell like?)

(11,330 posts)I think he is the most likely to build a winning coalition.He is white, male, straight, and personable and old enough to satisfy those who think they want a daddy figure.
Because of her brilliance, Warren is #2.
Then Harris.

(21,786 posts)I will vote in the primary for either Warren or Sanders, unless another credible left candidate enters in the meantime. I will vote for the Democratic nominee, whoever that is, in the general election.
