EDIT:
WHO DO YOU THINK WINS.
NOT WHO YOUR PREFFERED IS



in a very unexpected move today, Kamala Harris, the top second tier candidate, has dropped out.
Now the field looks like this:

First tier:
Joe Biden
Elizabeth Warren
Bernie Sanders
Pete Buttigieg

Second:
Andrew Yang
Amy Klobuchar
Cory Booker
Tom Steyer
Tulsi Gabbard
Mike Bloomberg

Third:
Julian Castro
Deval Patrick
Michael Bennett
Jon Delany


If I forgot anyone, then shit, They're like 8th tier then.

So, does anyone besides the top 4 get it?

Bet if you want. I'm, willing to bet a Buttigieg avatar that he gets it.
Sorry folks. He's like my 5th fave candidate, but the writing is slowly going on the wall.

I think some of the first voters have misread it as, "Who do you want to get the nom?", rather than, "Who gets the nom?"

Biden will probably be the nom.

I thought his foot-in-mouth antics this year would've sunk him but nope.

If you think Buttigieg doesn't win because of his race relations, then, you don't know america.

I predict Biden not only for the nom but to win the damn thing in November. Not my personal choice, but I can see it happening.

It should be Bernie.

Let's not go there.
I think, you're completely 100 percent wrong.

He is not as popular as he was his first month in office. In fact he's been historically unpopular the majority of his presidency, and every proxy vote we've had on him, has his guy lose.

It's going to be Biden. People need to start on the path to acceptance now.

It seems his support amongst POC is rock solid and unless Sanders can take some of that away, Biden has this shit on lockdown.

Biden, even though his brain is melting out of his ears faster than Trump's.

If Bernie or Warren we're to drop early and fully support the other they might be able to squeak out a win. Since that won't happen, it's going to be Biden.

I genuinely believe a Biden or Buttigieg nom gets Trump re-elected more so Buttigieg but both. Not saying Sanders or Warren wouldn't have it hard too but both B's represen everything wrong with the democratic party and have no chance as getting republicans to vote, young people excited to vote, or independents to rally behind them. All things I personally believe will be crucial this election. They represent why trump got elected as did Hilary.

I'm optimistic about Warren. Though Sanders needs to drop out for it to happen probably. It'll be pretty sad if they eat each other and Biden just slides in to a victory. Though maybe Bloomberg will divide his support?

Bernie has EVERYTHING stacked against him. He'd be the candidate if we had 10-20 years of people like him running this country. Sadly we haven't. In fact he's basically the first.
He will have a longer lasting impact on American politics than trump will, but sadly he will never see the same office.

It will come down to Biden or Bernie. Honestly, my money is on Biden, and another 4 years of trump with the dems falling even further into disarray and chaos.. But i'm pulling for Sanders with everything ive got to avoid that

I want to state that for the record: Harris and O'Rourke dropping out before any of the other second tier candidates is astonishing to me, and just proves that unless you're in that first tier, you have no chance.

Yeah, I think it's better that way in the long run. None of his ambitious policy would pass, especially since the senate is more than likely remaining majority Republican. As a movement, however, he can continue building his base, help win more congressional seats, and build a stronger coalition of democratic socialists to help make his vision a reality down the road.

Biden, but he then has a stroke after the convention and the DNC puts Clinton on the ballot instead.

Sanders can win Iowa and carry momentum into winning NH. Probably take second place in SC and win Nevada.

Then crush Super Tuesday. 2016 nonvoters and republican crossover will carry this thing.

I don't see republican crossovers voting for a self-avowed socialist enough for him to win

Oh yeah, I forgot that to be the VP nod she'd have to be old enough in case Biden kicks in.

Fuck it then. Obama as the VP a la Putin being the PM then the President then the PM again to cause some crazy constitutional crisis. If Trump can do it, let's go baby.

Sadly, he can't. Similar kinda rule wherein he can't be eligible to be president because he already served the 8 year maximum as prez


Edit: unless you meant Michelle Obama as VEEP, in which case I would bet every dollar in my bank account that that ticket wins. A Joe/Michelle ticket would destroy trump and I'll ducking take it.

If Biden gaffes enough I can see his base moving over to Pete because they would see him as the "safer" choice.
