Let's do something different here. List your top four candidates in order of who you'd support

[Bucky]

We all wear our candidate support tags at the feet of our posts in this forum. But the reality is 3 weeks from now at least half of the current contenders will have bowed out.

After Super Tuesday this will probably be a three (maybe four) candidate race. Personally I hope it's a two-person race, because that will give us clarity going into the convention.

So share with us who is your plan B, or your plan C. And if you've got it in you, even your plan D.

I'll start down in the thread discos. And let's keep this one positive.

[Bucky]

1. 1. Liz obviously

2. Klobuchar
3. Sanders
4. Biden

[Codeine]

2. Biden. Warren. Buttigieg. Klobuchar. nt

[Qutzupalotl]

30. Seconded.

[SouthernIrish]

107. Thriced

[Garrett78]

3. It's already a 2-person race.

Unless one is to take Bloomberg seriously. I do not.

Sanders and Biden are the only 2 candidates with sufficient support among POC to have any chance at this point.

[Codeine]

10. That's a fair point.

I wish the also-rans could swallow their egos and gtfo, but it ain’t happening before Super Tuesday, at which point it may be too late to avert disaster.

[ALBliberal]

4. Biden

Klobuchar
Buttigieg
Warren

[woodsprite]

5. Biden, Warren, Klobuchar, Sanders nt

[ibegurpard]

6. Warren Sanders Biden Buttigieg

[emmaverybo]

7. Biden, Warren, Klobuchar, Bernie.

[OliverQ]

8. Warren

Sanders
Biden
Klobuchar


Although I think only Sanders and Biden will be left after Super Tuesday unless Biden bombs South Carolina.

[Buckeye_Democrat]

9. Sanders, Warren, Buttigieg, Biden. nt

[juliuswest]

11. Sanders, Warren, Biden, and Buttigieg in that order n/t

[JudyM]

17. Me too.

[relayerbob]

12. Liz, Pete, Joe, Amy

I hope it becomes a two person race, and if I had my way, it would become a two person race tomorrow

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

13. The top four are pretty close together.

Biden first because I think he has the best chance to beat Trump, but I like Warren quite a bit; she's a close second. Buttigieg next - I think I might like him best as a person but he's a long shot. I also like Klobuchar, who is one of my Senators, more than I expected to. I don't like Bloomberg and I like Sanders even less.

[Rorey]

65. Pretty close to where I'm at

Different order in a perfect scenario (for me). I would prefer to have the opportunity to vote for a TRUE Democrat in the GE, so those are my choices.

In the GE, anyone but IQ45..... unless Sanders gets it and chooses Gabbard. If that happens, I don't know.......

He's the only one, I think, where his choice of running mate could be a deal breaker.

[Cal Carpenter]

14. Sanders, Warren, Biden, Steyer

[Tom Rinaldo]

35. +1 n/t

[projectiboga]

15. My list

1. Sanders
2. Warren

3. I hold my nose and vote blue anyways.

[Claritie Pixie]

16. Sanders, Warren, Klobuchar, Biden

I would love a Sanders/Warren ticket!

Regardless - I will work my ass of to elect the nominee, whoever it is.

[k2qb3]

18. Sure...

Liz
Bernie
Pete
Joe

Gonna vote Bernie next week though.

[PETRUS]

19. Sure.

Sanders, Warren, Biden, Steyer. But I'm okay with more than just those four.

[Fiendish Thingy]

20. Warren, Sanders, Klobuchar, Buttigieg nt

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

21. At this point

1. Joe Biden

2. Amy Klobuchar

3. Pete Buttigieg

4. Elizabeth Warren.

[Lunabell]

22. Sanders and Warren.

But any blue will do.

[Bucky]

23. Amen. Any blue

Blue votes matte--

oh shit

[Doreen]

24. ...

Biden
Warren
Buttigieg
Klobuchar

Yes, I probably spelled a couple of those names wrong but there they are.

[pnwest]

25. Klobuchar, Biden, Sanders, Warren

[Gravitycollapse]

26. Sanders, Warren, Biden, Buttigieg.

[BlueMTexpat]

27. Warren

Warren

Warren

Warren

Until she is out of the primaries, I will not even consider a second choice. Period.

But Sanders will never even rank fourth for me. If Liz is not in the running, I will vote for whoever is the non-Sanders.

[CottonBear]

28. Biden. Warren. Buttigieg. Klobuchar.

A Biden-Warren ticket or a Biden-Stacey Abrams ticket would be great.

I could get behind Warren-Buttigieg or Buttigieg-Klobuchar tickets.

Mayor Buttigieg has an impressive intellect.

[jg10003]

29. Sanders, Warren, Biden, no preference

[Scotch-Irish]

31. Warren, Sanders, Klobuchar, Buttigieg

Bloomberg, Biden, Steyer and Tulsi Gabbard are way down the line, but I would still vote for any of them over trumpinski.

[Croney]

32. Biden, Warren, Buttigieg

[GreenPartyVoter]

33. Warren, Sanders, Buttigieg, not sure.

[IluvPitties]

34. Biden, Amy, Pete, Warren, Bloomberg and in the very last place

Sanders.

[Adelante]

36. Buttigieg. Warren. Biden. nt

[thesquanderer]

37. Warren, Sanders, Buttigieg, Biden...

...and NONE of them require "holding my nose," despite their flaws.

[Shrek]

38. Buttigieg, Gabbard, Biden, Klobuchar n/t

[rzemanfl]

52. Using a random number generator? n/t

[Bucky]

58. People are complicated

It's hard to say what brings a voter to support a candidate.

And besides, can you really argue that randomly grabbing anybody straight off the street to be president would produce worse results that what we have stinking up the White House now?

[rzemanfl]

60. I would extend that to cats and dogs it it weren't for the 35 years old thing. n/t

[Shrek]

97. Buttigieg and Gabbard are both veterans

For me that outweighs every other consideration.

[hangaleft]

39. My four

Liz
Bernie
Steyer
Pete

[davs797]

40. Okay

Sanders
Warren
Biden
Steyer

I’d be happy with any of our candidates except Bloomberg.

[Nanjeanne]

41. Sanders, Warren, big space - Biden - then I'll vote whomever but I'll be prepared to lose.

[boston bean]

42. Biden, Buttigieg, Klobuchar, Bloomberg

[stopbush]

43. Bloomberg, Biden, Warren, Steyer

[Devil Child]

44. Gabbard, Warren/Sanders tied, Buttigieg

[pinkstarburst]

45. Warren Pete Amy Bernie Biden

[Kota]

93. ditto

[MH1]

46. Warren, ABB, ABB, ABB

In the top four, Anybody But Bernie but other than that, I vacillate from day to day.

I can think of at least a thousand reasons to vote for BS in the GE over Trump if it comes to it. But I strongly prefer that it doesn't come to it.

[Bucky]

47. Kicko, Kicko, Kicko, and McKickenstein

[DanTex]

48. Bernie, Warren, Amy, Pete

[Algernon Moncrieff]

49. Nominally 1) Steyer

I doubt he'll still be in by the time my primary rolls around.

2) Elizabeth Warren - I think she marries the far left wish list to centrist pragmatism.

3) Amy Klobuchar because she represents midwest pragmatism, has a mom vibe, but is younger than the median age of death.

4) At this point, it kinda becomes pick 'em. Probably Bernie Sanders. Bloomberg clearly has issues. I dont see being Mayor of South Bend as next-stop-White House, and God Bless Joe, but he is where we've been, not where we need to go.

Ill obviously vote for any of them over Trump.

[Bucky]

50. ROFL!!!

"...but is younger than the median age of death."

Thank you <3

[musicman65]

51. Joe

Joe,Joe and Joe enough said

[mainstreetonce]

53. Biden Warren Bloomberg Klobuchar

Pete would be first or second choice if I thought he could win,but it's not his time.

[Wiseman32218]

54. Mine....

Biden
Klobuchar
Steyer
Buttigieg

[Celerity]

55. Pete, Biden, Warren, Bloomberg, Klobuchar, Steyer, Gabbard, Sanders

[Cal Carpenter]

56. Sanders, Warren, Biden, Klobuchar

[Tommy_Carcetti]

57. Mine. (Three categories, actually)

First Category is "Absolutely":

Biden
Warren
Klobuchar
Buttigieg


Second Category is "Preferably Not, But Will Still Support in the General":

Bloomberg
Steyer
Sanders


Third Category is "Absolutely Never":

Gabbard

[Hermit-The-Prog]

63. I like your categories ...

My "Absolutely" is just a little different, naturally:

Warren
Klobuchar - Biden (I really can't decide between them yet)
Buttigieg

Second is the same as yours:

Bloomberg
Steyer
Sanders

I can't say "Absolutely Never" just because of Trump, but Gabbard can't be our nominee. The universe can't be that screwed up.

[obamanut2012]

59. Warren/Klobuchar/Biden/ABT

[Sparkly]

61. Klobuchar/Warren tied, Biden/Buttigieg tied after them.

[Bucky]

69. Help me a bit

I'm doing a statistical thing here. Should I count you as
Klobuchar ==> Warren OR as
Warren ==> Klobuchar ?

It's less important statistically, but which B-names should I count in 3rd or 4th place?

[Sparkly]

71. Hmm...

I guess for the sake of statistics, I'll root for the underdog in both cases: Klobuchar, Warren; Biden, Buttigieg.

[Bucky]

72. Thanks!

And especially thanks for the underdog voting. You're a true Democrat

[jmowreader]

62. Biden, Buttigieg, Klobuchar, Warren

[Kurt V.]

64. warren. sanders. biden. klobuchar.

[Nikki28]

66. here goes

Biden
Bloomberg
Pete
Liz or Amy- sorry could not resist


but whomever win, I will have to vote because our nation is in crises.

[Bucky]

67. Taking you at your word

I'm doing a statistical thing here. Should I count you as
Biden ==> Bloomberg OR as
Bloomberg ==> Biden ?

[LuvNewcastle]

68. Buttigieg, Biden, Klobuchar, Warren

I'll probably vote for Biden in Mississippi's primary. I just don't see Buttigieg getting 15% here.

[Firebrand Gary]

70. Buttigieg, Warren, Biden, Steyer. nt

[StevieM]

87. Those are also my top 4 choices, with Mayor Pete on top. (eom)

[redstatebluegirl]

73. Here are mine

Joe
Amy
Pete
Elizabeth

[Bradshaw3]

74. Warren, Pete, Bernie, Amy

[Retrograde]

75. Of the ones remaining

Klobuchar and Warren are in 1st and 2nd place: the exact order changes frequently. Buttigieg is a distant 3rd. Biden, Bloomberg, and Sanders are on the "I'll vote for them in November if they're the nominee but really, we can do a lot better" list.

Booker, Harris, Hickenlooper are sadly missed.

[underpants]

76. I tried but the app filled in Marianne Williamson four times

[redqueen]

77. Warren, Sanders, Biden, Klobuchar

Warren and Sanders are neck and neck. If she doesn't move up in SC I may end up voting Bernie on super Tuesday.

[Dr. Strange]

99. Oooh, so close.

The correct answer is:

1. Sanders
2. Warren
3. Biden
And fourth place is technically a three-way tie between Klobuchar, Buttigieg, and Radiohead.

[B Stieg]

78. Warren, Sanders, Klobuchar, Biden

[mvd]

79. Mine

1. Sanders
2. Warren
3. Steyer
4. Klobuchar

#4 is close. I feel for Biden because his son would have run, and I think Biden is running in his honor. Buttigieg has a future in the party.

[dumptrump1]

80. bloomberg

When somebody becomes worth 60 billion dollars and can buy the airtime needed to win the election handily, I'll consider them too.

[Mike__M]

81. Ballot's already in

so: 1. Sanders

Right until I voted:
2. Gabbard
3. Undecided

[poli-junkie]

82. Liz; Bernie; Amy; Joe

[LisaM]

83. Warren

The Biden, Klobuchar, and Buttigieg.

Warren excites me the most. Biden doesn't excite me, but I feel that he would have the ability to "right the ship", if you will, and to pick good advisors.

[doc03]

84. Biden, Klobuchar, Bloomberg and Warren. nt

[bunny planet]

85. My order

Warren, Sanders, Biden, Buttigieg

[subterranean]

86. Warren, Biden, Sanders, Klobuchar/Bloomberg

If/when Warren bows out, I'll support whoever I think has the best chance to win in November, but that's really just a guessing game.

[StevieM]

88. Buttigieg, Biden, Steyer, Warren.

Those are the only 4 who I like, at least of the remaining candidates.

I do wish that Corey Booker had gained more traction. I think he would have been a good president.

[LizBeth]

89. Warren, Biden, Buttigieg, Klobuchar, Bloomberg.

[List left]

90. 1. Warren 2. sanders 3. Biden

1. Warren - absolutely top choice - I think she is the one who can not only trounce tRump but also has greatest ability to persist and actually accomplish what needs to be done!
2. Sanders -
3. Biden -

[lettucebe]

91. Warren, Sanders, Buttigieg, Biden

[GemDigger]

94. That was interesting. I vote in June so ... my choices will be more limited by then.

So those survivors that are left in June will be my choices.

[blm]

95. Warren, Steyer, Klobuchar, Biden

My number 2 has changed over the last few months based on debates and if/when the facts change.

[BlueWI]

96. Warren first

2. Biden/Sanders (too close to call)
3. Klobuchar
4. Buttigieg

Inslee would be before Warren and Booker after Warren if they were running.

[rockfordfile]

98. I have Biden and Sanders .

[Sloumeau]

100. OK

Biden--More experience than anyone--including experience in White House. Has worked to get tons of bills through Congress. Won as Senator 6 times, VP twice. Moderate--and only Moderate Dems have won in the last 70 years. Polls best against Trump.

Klobuchar--Highly intelligent, personable, knows how to win in red country.

Warren--Highly intelligent, well educated, good personality, quick on her feet.

Buttigieg--wicked smart, well educated, hard-working, personable.

And the rest...

Steyer--Hard working. Dedicated to Progressive causes.

Bloomberg--Cares about Democratic causes, but lots of baggage, so lower on the list

Gabbard--Personable, but Tons of baggage

Sanders--Least likely to beat Trump, so lowest on the list.

[Brainstormy]

[Raine]

110. Amy, Steyer, Bernie, Warren nt

[Politicub]

111. Warren, Buttigieg, Sanders and Klobuchar

Biden will make the mix based on who can stay in the race. I’m in Georgia so I vote late in the process. A lot is going to happen between now and then.
