My feeling is that Joe Biden has the best shot at winning those types. But Warren and Harris may very well have the ability to attract them also.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden

I also worry that running a divisive candidate Mme. Defarge Jun 2019 #14

Biden brought up the issue and stands by it. Is it any of the other candidates job to defend him on CentralMass Jun 2019 #16

She's not assuming assuming ANY Democrat can beat Trump marylandblue Jun 2019 #23

I completely disagree. I believe he's among the weakest potential nominees. hedda_foil Jun 2019 #24

The polling definitely doesn't support your assertion that he's among the weakest possible nominees. highplainsdem Jun 2019 #25
