Sherrod Brown would win the general election...but I don't think he can win the nom. Harris would be a perfect VP but I think she could potentially win as the nom. Dems need someone who can excite the base. The failure of the Clinton ticket, while stunning at the time, makes more sense in hindsight when you look at the numbers and see just how disinterested many parts of the base were. Despite Clinton doing everything to appeal to them. I think Harris or Booker as the nom or VP changes that in 2020.

I don't like Booker but he could win. Honestly those three names are the best "new" shots. Biden would certainly win IMO, but who knows if he runs.

I don't think Sanders will matter in 2020. Whether people want to admit it or not, Sanders' primary success was largely a product of him being the only alternative to Clinton. He became the anti-Hillary vote. Whereas for instance in 2008 the anti-Hillary vote had multiple choices but largely went to Obama and Edwards. Sanders is NOT going to succeed against a large field of candidates who actually have support among broad parts of the base. Booker and Harris will do great with college kids, Brown/Biden will do well with older white voters, Gillibrand might do well with (white) women, etc.

uh not really, hence why I said "might"
:gucci:

I don't think she's noteworthy or impressive at all. But given how things work in relation to liberal and identity politics, SOMEONE is going to break out and do well with (white) female voters. The women's march activists will endorse someone. Granted it could be a man, or it could be Harris. But I'd expect it to be a white woman lol.

Bernie Sanders is the most popular politician in America. So...

Also, the claim that Booker would do well with college students seems unsubstantiated. He hasn't even endorsed a free college tuition plan.

I still don't know why so many people want a Biden/Bernie ticket:heh:.

That would be bad for many reasons:

1. Their combined age currently is 151 and it would be 157 on Inauguration Day 2021.
2. Bernie is not a Democrat, he's an independent.
3. Bernie was born BEFORE the Pearl Harbor attack and would turn 80 years old in his first 7 months in office (either as Prez or VP).
4. Joe was born BEFORE the D-Day invasion and would turn 80 years old in his second year in office (either as Prez or VP).
5. The GOP would CONSTANTLY slander Bernie of being a "communist" and/or "socialist".
6. The GOP would CONSTANTLY slander Biden for being "Obummer's Veep" and "an establishment Democrat".
7. The US would be one of the few non-authoritarian countries to have a leader in their 80s (that would be embarrassing).
8. Bernie and Biden would probably fight over policies a lot as Prez and VP. Remember Biden is a moderate and Bernie is on the "semi-far" left.
