My Somewhat-Snarky Personal Group Rankings of Candidates [View all]

If you take offense....well, this is DU Primaries, so....


Group A--Take me to the promised land. Any one of you guys is fine with me. Really. Pick straws if you want.

Biden
Warren
Harris
Booker



Group B--Absolutely, Definitely, Positively Yes...for a cabinet position or VP consideration

Klobuchar
Castro
Inslee



Group C--I'm really impressed. But just not quite ready yet for primetime. Come back in, say, 4-8 years.

Buttigieg
O'Rourke



Group D--Thank you for coming in today. We'll get back to you at our earliest convenience

Anyone whose name is not listed in Groups A, B, C, E, F or G.



Group E--I mean....I guess.....If we really, really have to.....Do we have to? (Sigh and silent look of resignation)

Sanders



Group F--Isn't there anything you guys could be doing with your spare time other than running for President? I mean, literally, anything?

Yang
Williamson



Group G--No. No. No. NO. Nope. Not a chance. Hell no.

Gabbard








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