Polls show Bernie Sanders popularity among all voters is plummeting

[Martin Eden]

138. I think it's too early to know who is most likely to beat Trump

Any number of candidates are likely to beat the orange abomination. I won't be close to making a decision until 2020.

Personally, I think these election campaigns go on far too long -- and focus far too much on personalities and the horse race.

In my view a healthier approach at this stage is to have a thorough and constructive debate on the critically important issues and policy solutions we need to move our country and the world forward into a better future.

During the course of that process the Democratic platform could be fleshed out and the best leader to head our ticket can emerge.

I supported Bernie in the 2016 primary, at least in part because I made a vow in October 2002 that nobody who voted to give GW Bush authority to invade Iraq would get my vote in a Democratic primary. Ever. That included John Kerry, Hillary Clinton, and Joe Biden -- and I still hold to that vow.

I also hold a view that many would deride as "ageist." I think 80 is too old for the extremely stressful and demanding job of president. Biden and Sanders would both turn 80 before the end of their first term.

I will vote for the Democratic nominee no matter what.

As for the OP, I don't see any value in it. I did like your analysis, except perhaps the last part.
