    Hello darkness, my old friend
    I like Buttigieg a lot, too. As well as Kamala Harris.

    I'm liking Tim Ryan

    I think he if he doesn't win the nomination he will be a likely running mate.

    He is from Ohio and relates to the blue collar workers in the midwest. He can hurt Trump more than Trump can hurt him.

    Yup. I have a friend who grew up in iowa that was very conservative that loves him and his platform like me, generally a moderate.

    He doesn't get baited. Sticks to the facts. Explains himself well.

    Here's my current handicapping/preference list.

    Yes, I know nobody asked.

    I also know it's very early and things will change.

    I'm going to be vigorously supporting one of these candidates in the 2020 general, and even though I like some of them more than others, every one of them is acceptable to me so far (well, other than Messem and Williamson - I literally know nothing about those two).

    Category Y: Y is for Y are they running? These people are unlikely to ever get their campaign off the ground and will drop out after the first couple of primaries, if not before
    Bennet, Delaney, Gabbard, Hickenlooper, Messem, Moulten, Ryan, Williamson, Yang

    Category H: H is for Help, as in if they get some, then they can be competitive. But right now they are closer to Y than C
    Castro, Gillibrand, Inslee, Swalwell

    Category O: O is for old. I recognize that these are the frontrunners now, but I'm expecting all three to fade (but compete all the way). We'll see if I'm right.
    Biden, Sanders, Warren

    Category C: C is for Contender.
    Booker, Buttigieg, Harris, Klobuchar, O'Rourke

    Is it the one you're supposed to like for being a homophobe because you're a Republican......but AREN'T supposed to like because she is a woman because you're a Republican?

    How can you say Klobuchar is a contender but Yang isn't? Yang is polling about the same.

    I think putting Yang in Category Y is pretty ill informed. He will show well during the debates.

    You could be right.

    Debates haven't happened yet. I certainly wouldn't rule out Yang catching fire from the debates and becoming a contender at that time.

    Really, all they need is someone with big hands. just straight up go palm to palm with trump at the debate and then "next question" to a standing ovation.

    There definitely is a path for Bernie to win, but his support doesn't seem to be increasing. If I were Bernie I'd be a little bit worried about that. Then again, maybe it's just people sowing wild oats with new candidates and they'll come home to Bernie in the end?
