Because Trump is so dangerous & insane shouldn't we be voting exclusively on who has the best shot

4. Well...your premise is good, but there's no telling who has the

proverbial 'best shot.'

That is anybody's guess. I, for instance, genuinely believe that Bernie could have beaten Trump soundly in 2016. Some on here share this view. Many don't, and that is only my opinion. And we will never, ever know, will we? We cannot go back in time and re-run that election with Bernie as our nominee.

Do polls matter? Not really. We won't have any idea who our nominee will end up being until probably after Super Tuesday, regardless of what any polls now are suggesting. They just don't mean that much at this point.

So who has this 'best shot' in 2020?

Biden? I do not believe he can beat Trump, but again many on here will disagree with me. That is only my opinion.

Bernie? Probably not - to paraphrase one of my favorite musicians, "The time of his time has come and gone. I fear he's been waiting too long."

Warren? I really like Elizabeth a lot. A lot. Could she win? Maybe but it is increasingly doubtful she'll get the chance.

Buttigieg? He might be able to pull it off, for sure. Every time we've run a young person who has a strong message we've won. So Pete is a strong maybe, again in my opinion.

Klobuchar? I think she would have a very, very real shot of winning, and winning big. Not sure she'll make it through the primaries but in terms of electability over the piece of orange excrement, she'd win hands down. Again my opinion. I think she's the strongest in terms of electability.

Bloomberg? Well, you all know how I feel about the concept of us needing to be rescued from a billionaire gone bad by a good billionaire. God, I hate that whole notion. But Bloomberg could pull it off too. He certainly has more money than Trump, and doesn't need a big super pac bankroll - he is already running ads in 27 states. If someone can pull off buying the Democratic nomination and the presidency, Bloomberg is the one. And........as much as I hate to admit it, he probably wouldn't suck as president.

So there you have it - the opinion of PatrickforO in realpolitik and real time! For what it is worth, which is no more, nor less than anyone else's on here. Take us all with a big grain of salt.
