[NinaNeon]

Who do you most support of our qualified candidates?
I am adding likely candidates as well (who have already started exploratory committees)
Also, no negative feedback on any of these candidates.

1. feel free to say positive things you like about your cnadidate

[SCantiGOP]

25. How about negative things about the poll?

Joe Biden, while unannounced, is leading in several early polls and in the top two or three in all of them.

[NinaNeon]

48. Get a star and make a poll

There’s only 10 spaces to have for answers can’t get everyone in there.

[Sherman A1]

2. Very impressed with Andrew Yang

Listening to him on C-span from the Brooklyn Book Festival last fall, reading his well developed list of policies on his website and following him on Facebook.

[Recursion]

3. Harris is my default, but I'm keeping an eye on Castro

And just really happy with the depth of our bench this year.

[FSogol]

4. Way to early to decide. We need to see how they run, what support they garner,

what issues they highlight, how their fundraising goes, what traction they gain, etc.

[TrishaJ]

5. Uh.... Bernie Sanders

is not a Democrat.

[Glamrock]

31. Prepare yourself

He'll be on the ticket.

[NurseJackie]

41. No he won't. That's just wishful thinking.

[NinaNeon]

49. He's the best candidate

Least beholding least beholding to corporate instead and wants to help people.

[NinaNeon]

50. He campaigns for them

Raises money for them and votes with them in Congress.
Just saying

[Brawndo]

6. Got a criminal president*, send a criminal prosecutor, Harris 2020!

[Tom Rinaldo]

7. Voted Warren, but Harris and Brown currently rank high for me also

and there are several others who I am drawn too. My opinion is pretty fluid at the moment

[tblue37]

8. +1. nt

[Squinch]

9. Not even thinking about it yet, but you know what I wish? I know she isn't running for

President, but I wish that whoever does win would ask Hillary to be Secretary of State again, and I wish she would accept. She would whip this world back into shape in no time. I would feel so much safer if I knew she was our representative to the world.

I know it's unlikely, but I can dream.

[oberliner]

10. Agreed

I would love for her to be in that role - or in some other prominent position. She has earned it and would be excellent.

[Squinch]

11. You didn't watch the video.

[yardwork]

13. ....

[oberliner]

16. Hillary Clinton as Secretary of State would be terrific

Whatever I can do to help promote that idea of yours, I will do!

[Squinch]

20. How very exciting.

[lapucelle]

27. I saw this meme (aimed at Republicans) and thought it might bring a chuckle...

[Squinch]

28. LOL! I love it!

[NinaNeon]

55. Oh god is love Pelosi to run

We need her as speaker though, don’t we?

[ProudLib72]

64. A play on their "Fuck your feelings" shirts I assume

[NinaNeon]

51. I do agree with that

She could repair a lot of damage done

[NinaNeon]

56. Looking like Harris/Warren would be a good ticket

Would marry the centrists and the farther left and show the unity everyone talks about us needing

[marble falls]

70. If she isn't running, this would be such a good idea!

[yardwork]

12. Add Sherrod Brown.

[oberliner]

17. He would also be great

I had the chance to meet him long ago.

[UniteFightBack]

23. Biden didn't make the list either. nt

[NinaNeon]

52. I know

Someone else was disappointed too. It’s kind of a given that he’s the front runner though. Not like I ignored him.
As of today HRC said she hadn’t ruled it out either.
We need more poll options lol
Of course I like Bernie, that’s pretty obvious, but what I want more than anything is to stop this madness in the WH, and end Emperor Trumps reign.
I’m honestly scared of what Russia is going to try to do to the 202O election. Putin hates her for a reason, and that’s good enough for me to vote for her if she goes up against trump.

[northoftheborder]

33. I thought the Gov. of Washington state had declared

[berni_mccoy]

35. I agree. Brown / Warren or Brown / Beto would be winning ticket.

[yardwork]

44. Brown/Harris.

[Trailrider1951]

14. Liz Warren, second choice Kamala Harris

But I could also go for a Harris - Warren ticket!

[Iggo]

15. I support not doing the gop's work by splitting ourselves into warring camps.

[NinaNeon]

53. We're not in warring camps

I just don’t trust anything on the news anymore so I wanted a home grown poll that I felt like real people were voting in

[Iggo]

60. Just wait.

[NinaNeon]

61. I'm doing my best not to engage angry people

We all need to. You know the GOP is going to try to press all kinds of buttons

[Autumn]

18. These are the ones that have announced and the ones who may run. So far my top

2 have not announced so I'll go with Warren for now.

https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2019/us/politics/2020-presidential-candidates.html

[msongs]

19. depends on what you mean by "qualified" does it not? nt

[DemocratSinceBirth]

21. In order

Kamala
Cory
Beto
Amy
Sherrod
Elizabeth

[backscatter712]

22. Right now, going for Warren.

And I'm definitely inclined not to join a repeat of the Bernie-Hillary wars. I will support the Democratic nominee whether or not they're my first choice.

[UniteFightBack]

24. I support everybody until I get to see plenty of interviews, stump speeches and debates. I want

to see them under fire and in the heat. I want to see who

CAN BEAT DOTARD RUMP. That is all that matters. That is all.

[democratisphere]

26. Where is HRC as a choice?!

It is not over, till it is over!

[Kurt V.]

32. just saw this

Kasie Hunt
Kasie Hunt
@kasie
.
@jeffzeleny
reports on Inside Politics:
@HillaryClinton
is telling associates she hasn’t closed the door on a 2020 bid.

[NinaNeon]

54. She said today she hasn't ruled it out

Though it seems like Harris, Warren, Beto, Biden and yes Sanders have the most interest atm

[democratisphere]

62. Contrary.

If HRC officially steps back into the Presidential Candidate arena, I believe she will rocket into first place immediately.
HRC is still the most qualified candidate when compared to any other Democrat announced or unannounced, in addition to Bernie too!

[NinaNeon]

67. I think many just want her to run

Because she should have won in 2016

[democratisphere]

69. Agreed. HRC was cheated out of The Presidency.

[mucifer]

29. I like Joe Biden for foreign policy experience at least as VP

[underpants]

34. Biden is as close to a lock as you can get

If he runs.

My 2 cents.

[Squinch]

30. Tammy Duckworth hasn't declared!

Don't make me stop this car, Tammy!

[mucifer]

37. Another candidate with similar experience who also was an IL Senator did pretty well!

However, with the choices we have now. I'd like her to stay my senator.

?w=763

[TexasBushwhacker]

66. Love her, but I think she's unlikely at this time

She just had her second child last April.

[David__77]

36. Warren, Sanders, some others may be great!

I’m not leaning toward one now.

[Doreen]

38. In order

Biden
Beto
Warren

Yeah, yeah, I realize Biden is not on the list but he should be. For not giving an official "I am running" he is doing really well with people wanting him to do so.

[Stargleamer]

39. Elizabeth Warren's bold new tax plan

gave her my vote, although I really like Kamala Harris too.

[TheBlackAdder]

47. Same here. A Warren/Harris ticket would be the ultimate!

.


I saw Harris on Rachel Maddow's show, and she has two things to address:

1) Her prosecutorial background and incarcerations.

2) Her stage presence. She still seems a but stiff. While that's not important to perform the job, it is to get it.


I don't think that correcting the first one is a show-stopper, if she is able to abet voter concerns, especially in the AA community. But, the second one needs a lot of work so it seems natural. Perhaps she was nervous on Maddow's show. But, she's been on TV multiple times and needs to polish herself just a bit more. Who knows, it might come on the campaign trail, under the baptism of fire.

That being said, Warren has a slight edge on the second issue, and really has demonstrated an ability to connect.

.

[NinaNeon]

57. I'm liking that too

Good for party unity

[lkinwi]

40. I'm liking Brown for now, but my mind is open.

[Thekaspervote]

42. Would like to see Sherrod Brown run

[Elwood P Dowd]

43. Whoever has the best chance to beat the Orange Anus.

I don't care about race, gender, or age. Just kick his ass in November 2020 and rid us of this insanity.

[TheBlackAdder]

45. I think a Warren/Harris ticket would be Kickass!

[NinaNeon]

58. Yeah me too

[IcyPeas]

46. I'm keeping my options open for now

need to hear a lot more to be able to choose.

[NinaNeon]

59. Oh me too

This is too important to screw up

[Indykatie]

63. Biden is Leading by Large Margins in 2 Latest Polls

That should make him an obvious choice for the listed options. Biden had 45% in the Emerson poll for a +37 lead over the field. He also led by 10 points in the Politico poll.

[Polybius]

65. Where's the option for other?

Gonna have to pass for now.

[NinaNeon]

68. No room

I asked people to list in replies
