Who was the best of recent failed Democratic presidential nominees?

These 7 are the only Democratic presidential nominees since World War II who were never President.

Humphrey was too anti-communist, and even thought of bringing back camps for "subversives."

Stevenson was too moderate on civil rights.

Dukakis was out of touch, and didn't really focus on issues that Americans cared about.

Al Gore's demeanor towards both Bush and Clinton was off-putting, and he was trying to paint himself as a social conservative and picked Joe Lieberman.

John Kerry was an awful candidate, too aristocratic, couldn't really articulate his own vision and seemed a weak leader.



That leaves me with Mondale and McGovern.

Isn't it self-explanatory?

Out of these 7... the 7 Democratic nominees since WWII who were never President... who was the best? Who would have been the best President out of these 7?

Best by what definition? This means nothing.
By your definition. It's your opinion.
