Please tell me who you would like to see get the Democratic nomination in 2020

118. Biden has the best chance of winning.

We know that the electorate won't accept a woman (even though Hillary won the popular vote) -- especially a strong woman -- so that leaves Warren out.

We know that the electorate feels they have filled their "person of color" quota with Obama, so that leaves Kamala Harris out on two counts.

After Trump, I think the voters have soured on the "crazy haired man waving his arms in the air and shouting extreme points of view," which eliminates Sanders.

As much as I admire Schiff, I don't think he has sufficient name recognition to win. Maybe he'd make a good vice president nominee.

Avenatti is a one trick pony, and as much as I admire his legal talents, I don't think having a porn star's lawyer at the top of the ticket is the road to the White House. I'd love to see him as Secretary of State, however. I think he'd be a strong advocate for U.S. interests overseas, and would stand up to Putin, and relish the chance to do so.

Remember, voters don't like people they see as "elitists," which they define as people they perceive as smarter than they are. That's why Dubya succeeded -- despite growing up in a wealthy family and going to Ivy League schools, he was the guy you could see yourself having a beer with. It didn't help that Al Gore was tainted by the Clinton scandal, and actually won the popular vote. (What is it about Dems winning the popular vote and losing the election?)

IMHO, Biden has the best chance of winning the general election, and in the end that's what it's about. It doesn't matter if you are ideologically pure if you can't get elected.

Biden is white, male, perceived as middle class (he rides the train to work), liberal but not extremely so, experienced in both the Senate and as an active vice president. Biden can use the language of the people ("This is a big fucking deal," he told Obama when the ACA passed), people are sympathetic to a man who has lost his young son (I know, that shouldn't be a factor, but voters make decisions based on all sorts of unexplainable factors, such as Beau Biden's military service), he has a good sense of humor and doesn't take himself too seriously, and most important, he's familiar--people already know his name, his face, his voice (which is pleasant to listen to) and his generally "good guy" persona.

While my personal favorite is Elizabeth Warren, in the end it's about winning. And despite every dirty trick the GOP and Trump will throw at him, I think Biden is strong enough to win the presidency, and begin undoing all the damage that Trump will have done to the country and world by the time he leaves office.

That is, providing Obama and Holder have success undoing GOP (and Dem) gerrymandering before 2020.
