8. Agreed. There will be one viable candidate who, unfortunately, gets shut out...

I think this race has more potentially viable candidates than past races but it won't change the actual dynamics of history. Iowa is going to establish the contenders from the pretenders.

Right now, I'd say the viable candidates are:

1. Biden
2. Bernie
3. Pete
4. Warren
5. Harris

After that? I don't really see any other viable candidates. That's not to say someone like Veto can't rise up there but it will probably be at the expense of another candidate.

Iowa, and then New Hampshire, are going to cut this list dramatically.

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

To compete against Bernie & Biden, 1 female needs to emerge. Funtatlaguy Apr 2019 #2

Why can't two women emerge? Why not 4 viable candidates? Demit Apr 2019 #4

Of course they could. Funtatlaguy Apr 2019 #5

Well, for starters, there's rarely a point where we have four viable candidates after Iowa... Drunken Irishman Apr 2019 #6
