"Better than Trump" is just not good enough.

8. I think any of the top candidates could beat Trump

So long as they do the work to engage voters and there are also strong GOTV campaigns. It worked in 2018, when the blue wave washed through Congress (and look at how Trump's ire immediately turned to how terrible Congress is). That's largely going to be grassroots efforts to get people out to vote blue no matter who. I specifically wasn't targeting anyone in my OP (except maybe Delaney who's crappy) because I think that a lot of the people up there could trounce Trump if the voters also do their part. And a part of that will be the candidate engaging with people and building enthusiasm with ideas.
