    I feel the opposite....I think 4 or 5 of them could beat Donald Trump and the others could at least beat up Donald Trump...Bernie could poke his eyes out

    Trump would eat Biden alive in a debate.

    I agree with this take for the most part. Booker and Yang are two I would lean towards. Bernie is my guy, but I don't anticipate he will get the nod. If Biden gets the nomination I will honestly be hard pressed to cast my vote for him. Harris can't be trusted.

    I like Pete and Beto but they won't even win their own states. Really wish Bernie was 10 yrs younger. He's my guy as well

    Yang looks like the only sane candidate of the entire group.

    Most of them lack basic survival instincts.

    Warren won the debate with a once again strong performance. Biden is losing it, made Bernie his foil because he didn't want to face off with Warren. Weak sauce. Bernie is Bernie. He is the best candidate behind Warren, but will never get the nomination. Booker is very gregarious and well spoken. I appreciate his reminders to harness fellowship as we look towards the bigger picture. I like that Yang talks about the actual issues with the system. He is no going much further in this though. Mayor Pete would make a good VP, but I don't see him getting the nomination. I like his pragmatism though. O'Rourke had his best debate, and stayed relevant but mostly because the shooting in El Paso gave him a personal stake in the conversation. I could see him as a VP pick possibly. Klobachar too. I could see her as VP or in the cabinet somewhere, but not as president. Castro won't win the nomination, but he has for sure reserved a place in the cabinet of whoever gets the nomination should they win.

    uh, Yang seems to be the one that belongs on the stage.
    So where does your opinion come from?

    Like a month ago, I had that same thought. It wasnt a great feeling, but I had this come over me like dang Im not sure if any of these candidates can beat Trump. I know around in this neck of the internet, that sounds insane, everyone will vote against Trump all that, but it just seems weird...

    Not to derail too much, but I normally vote more on the conservative side, but I wouldn't vote for Trump ever, so, Im looking strongly at the Dems because I want one of them to stand out for me, or I’ll vote independent again. So far I kind of like Yang and have been really unimpressed otherwise.

    Well hell, vote for Yang!

    Seems like the obvious choice among this group to me.
    Of course, I will vote for Trump, no question, but I could live with Yang.

    That may be so, but he doesn't have the base. I don't think he is going to be able to make a big enough jump in polls to get the nod.

    I umm have some hesitation with Yang too, but if he got the nomination to run in the primary he probably would get my vote. I think he would debate vs Trump just fine.

    That would definately be an interesting debate. He could very easily confuse the shit out of Trump
