I think Sanders will do much better with Biden supporters than Warren supporters. Her progressive support mostly left her long ago, and those who remain are more likely to switch to Klobuchar or Buttigieg, and eventually Bloomberg.

Warren is cast as a progressive, but she has always had a very different base than Sanders - older wealthy white urban/suburban professionals - who are always more inclined to back candidates pitching themselves to this set of class and cultural interests.

Conversely, last I saw Warren was at 1% with non-college men and barely higher with non-college women, which is why it has always been clear that Trump would have absolutely routed her in a general election.

In essence, she attempted to bridge the gap between young and old, but ended up alienating both.

In some ways she's fortunate to have done so badly, as some her more desperate, cringey, mawkish tokenist stunts of performative wokeness have flown under the radar as a result.

She is very smart and certainly means well, and she could have been the Frances Perkins of her day, had she played her cards well. But she has always had very poor political instincts, and has never really understand what Democratic voters want, resulting in the series of extremely unfortunate decisions which long ago sunk her.

And, because I can sense the seething toxic masculinity from her online bros barreling straight towards me, to be clear - her disastrous performance is not ultimately a good thing for the left.

Will certainly be interesting to see who gains support as the field narrows, Morning Consult latest had both Biden and Warren‘s 2ndchoices being Sanders

According to Bookies odds Bloomberg is drifting in and now clear second fave behind Sanders and he is yet to enter the race.

Amy Klobuchar is still the only Dem candidate I would even consider. All others are garbage.

You are welcome Closest one to the middle. Here I will get you one sentence about why all others are garbage.
1. The Mayor - I just dont like him at all.
2. Warren - Liar
3. Biden - Obama Era
4. Sanders - I would rather not live in a Commy/Socialist Country

If any of them were the nominee would you vote Trump?

They would have to prove to me they can play both sides of the field. I like a moderate. Must have conservative viewpoints to win my vote. Sanders would be an absolute hard no. Biden has a chance but lordy he looks awful when he opens his mouth. The mayor guy just doesn't do it for me. Warren is just Bernie in a female body. So in conclusion, If Amy or Biden when the nomination, they have the best chance. If it was the choice of Far Left or Far Right, I would go right. A moderate candidate will always win my vote if the opportunity presents itself.

I like a moderate.

Do you think Trump is more moderate than all of the people on that list?

 

[wm02]

Interested to see if this results in a brokered convention. Seems increasingly unlikely for any of the candidates to reach a majority of delegates

 

[Grinch]

Do you think Trump is more moderate than all of the people on that list?

Compared to Pete, Warren, Sanders. Yes.
Compared to Amy, Biden. No.
