I'll be honest. I didn't get that far down the list.

The scary thing is that scenario is not too far fetched
I wasn't joking sadly. It's the most plausible future I see.

she's certainly off my list then
(makes mental note to prepare clever response for when Bernie's staff inevitably drag him, confused and cantankerous, onto the Rogan podcast)
how have so many people managed to form such strong opinions about Tulsi Gabbard, anyhow?
I barely know who this person is, and I spend far, far too much time reading about American politics. I gather she is Troop-American, and a bit of a Modi-bro?
is she on the chat-snaps or something then? ; )
also, without being so rude as to name names, some of you have very odd ideas about who is going to win this thing...
Remember me and my band of gun-totin' liberal Resistance fighters well.
haha, I honestly think Klobuchar has a chance.
I think she'd beat trump as she'd appeal to the rust belt as well as women and independents. She's tough and could take Pelosi line with Trump who'd just come off bad trying to insult her (like his crap snowman(woman) jab).
Sanders and Warren will split the progressive vote,
Harris will divide opinion,
That just leaves Biden and Klobucher as the centerists and I don't think the Democrats have the appetite for an establishment white dude, no matter the sentimentality.
Maybe she picks Beto as a running mate to appeal to the kids on social media.
Or even better, Gillum for the southern African American vote and Florida.
I really don't like O'Rourke for some reason, something about him makes my skin crawl

All that kinda assumes that they all stay the course, which I doubt will happen with a field this large
yea, I'm sure lots will drop out but I can see Biden (if he runs) and Klobucher doing well in Iowa and Warren/Sanders doing well in New Hampshire, these candidates should establish themselves as the leading center and left candidates, with Harris joining the pack after later primaries. Endorsements will be key.

Sanders getting in the race certainly hurts Warren, which is one of the biggest reasons I’m not wild on him running again.
She holds a lot of the same positions as him, has a very similar headline message - but I think has more potential for bringing in votes from outside the base than Bernie does. The “socialist” part in democratic socialist is going to be a tough pill for a lot of moderates to swallow even if they can’t stand Trump. Then staying home could cause trouble.
No more than Trump, Sanders will do great with his die hard base but won't do much beyond that. He'll take VT obviously but I don't even see him winning in any of the other New England States. It'll be between Warren and Biden for most of the New England states.
I reckon a lot of them think it will be easy to take Trump out. I'm not so sure tbh

I don’t think any of them will think it’s easy, but I think they’ll all think it’s do-able, which it most certainly is.
Unless Trump is locked in a prison cell, I can’t see them beating him.
Beto should have beaten Cruz in Texas but didn’t because Republicans end up being too scared of the word socialism, immigrants and everyone being on a level playing field.
