All Democrats will be radioactive, regardless of their personal characteristics. Only a good media strategy with a likable candidate can survive

Buttigieg has the best media strategy. He talks up front about his obvious weaknesses and defuses them. He says up front that he wants to make the Supreme Court nonpartisan and explains how he will do it. That means Trump will have to defend biased judges. Good luck with that.
