StriderKiwi said: Bernie: Too old, has already dropped the democrat party and gone back to being an independent, and has showed no interest in rejoining. Gilibrand: Has a good shot of winning the primary but I doubt she'll beat Trump. Cortez: Everyone she nominated lost. She is a fringe group that will alienate other Dems if she wins. Beto: How can you honestly expect someone who gets whipped by Cruz to beat Trump? Biden: Too old and weak. Has a VP ever beaten an incumbent in any US Presidential election? Bloomberg: He could win the nomination, put up a good fight with Trump but I don't think he'd ultimately win. Warren: After Trump duped her into the DNA test, proving she's whiter than most Caucasians, I don't see her mounting a successful primary run, let alone beating him out in the end. Hillary: DO IT. The Rock/Oprah/some other celebrity: They have a serious chance of winning the nomination but run the risk of being obvious Democrat version parallels to Trump, only without the incumbent advantage. And there's plenty of people who hate celebrities that use their platforms for politics. TL;DR Most of the popular choices are a trainwreck. Tulsi Gabbard would have a legitimate chance at victory but it's uncertain if she's going to run now or wait some years, get sidelined like Bernie did. Another problem is that the DNC primaries are going to be a chaotic free-for-all. It's hard to imagine any single candidate coming out unscathed by the end of it. |
Alexandria Ocasion-Cortez can't run in 2020 because she is still to young to run. Beto didn't get whipped by Cruz he barely lost and I'm pretty sure he did a lot better then the last guy that ran against him. So yeah pretty everything you brought up is pointless.
