Why? Are you going to vote for any of these people?
If I were you I’d be worried more about the Republican nominee. May not be Trump.
And then what circus would you join? Originally Posted by Yssup Rider

Oh please Jesus, make it Biden/Beto.

Senator Gillibrand
Former representative Robert O'Rourke
Former governor Hickenlooper
Governor Inslee
Senator Sanders
Senator Klobuchar
Senator Warren
Senator Booker
Senator Harris
Former mayor Castro
Representative Gabbard
Former representative Delaney
Author Marianne Williamson
Executive Yang
Maybe former VP Biden
Pick your top three choices. Any other possibilities? Originally Posted by the_real_Barleycorn

None of these will take away votes from Trump. Everyone on this list is too close to the edge[some if not most already went over it] on the left to pull anyone from the middle or mid right side of the spectrum.Hillary Clinton, with all her baggage, won the popular vote in 2016. Trump will never lose support from his base and on the other side there are those who will never vote for Trump. Were all the Democratic House candidates who won in 2018 close to the edge? I don't know. Republicans obviously lost support in 2018 among women and those living in suburbs, based on voting results. Trump will need those voters to come back to him in order to win in 2020.
Even if a bona-fide 3rd party candidate makes it on the ballot, Trump could still come out with a 2020 win. However, unlike Bush v. Perot v. Clinton, where votes for Perot were seen as being taken from Bush's tally, I think a 3rd party candidate willget votes from both sides. The 3p candidate probably won't win but will make it a close election. Originally Posted by grean

Kind of like losing a Golden Gloves bout and now you're facing Tyson in his prime.
The guy is likeable. He inspires others. He is a tireless campaigner. I don't agree with all his political views and I think he needs to become more astute politically but I would advise others not to discount him in the future. Originally Posted by SpeedRacerXXX
