Joe Biden would have the best chance. Of course, he has to decide to jump in or not.

Biden is a trusted figure, beloved in many circles. He has the ear of the Unions and working class voters. He also has the legacy of the Obama brotherhood/bromance behind him. And of all of these candidates, he has foreign policy chops.

He's certainly not without faults or baggage but I think he'd overcome them. Moreover, he could and would go eye-to-eye with the Trumpster. I don't see Biden losing a verbal assault to Trump's classless comments.

So right now? Biden would be my selection for sheer electability.

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