Exciting! A historically gargantuan field! And likely more to come!

Declared* meaning they're officially in, exploratory committee, or have otherwise unambiguously signaled their intent.

The twenty are the following:
Bennet, Booker, Buttigieg, Castro, Delaney, Gabbard, Gillibrand, Gravel, Harris, Hickenlooper, Inslee, Klobuchar, Messam, O'Rourke, Ryan, Sanders, Swalwell, Warren, Williamson, Yang.

So, how do you rank them:

In terms of likelihood of winning the nomination? And your personal preferences?

And, one last question - who else is likely to get in? Who, if any, of: Biden, Abrams, Moulton, McAuliffe, de Blasio, and Bullock, will decide to run? And is there anyone else waiting?

Likilehood to win: Dunno, sadly not great due to homophobia and his funny name, bad, awful, not great, not too bad, awful, far worse than one might think, bad, Huh, bad as she's abusive, Huh, not bad, laughable, good but has vulnerabilities, Huh, not as good as Sanders, Huh, fairly bad.

Personal preference: Not really, no, maybe, Never, Never, not really, not really but could be worse, no, hell no, barely a democrat, who?, not voting for a bully, who?, no, Never, Yes, who?, maybe, who?, not really.

Likelihood to win on the left and personal preference on the right

Bennet: Not too good / like a lot
Booker: A step above Gillibrand / As a teacher, he's a fraud
Buttigieg: Not too good due to homophobia IMO / love
Castro: no chance / meh
Delaney: LOL / nah
Gabbard: Nope / nah
Gillibrand: No chance with her polling numbers / she's okay
Gravel: stop
Harris: decent chance / she's seems pretty good
Hickenlooper: not in this day and age / he's fine
Inslee: not as a single issue candidate / no clue
Klobuchar: not that good / she's fine
Messam: LOL / who?
O'Rourke: pretty good / love
Ryan: LOL / don't care
Sanders: ok but overrated / he's fine
Swalwell: LOL / don't care
Warren: not good / As her constituent she's ok but Trump would beat her - I've said this before
Williamson: LOL / don't care
Yang: very small but noteworthy / Yang Gang

I still think that Bennet, Biden, Bullock, de Blasio, and McAuliffe will all run. Why the f*** not at this point?

Bennet: Close to zero / like him fine but don't think he adds anything unique or important to the race
Booker: Low but not out of the question / don't love him, don't trust him, but not the worst option
Buttigieg: Low, and I think his star will fade / refreshing and hopefully has a bright future but his coverage is ridiculous and undeserved
Castro: Close to zero / like him and hope he's considered for VP or has an opportunity for statewide office soon
Delaney: Zero / awful
Gabbard: Zero / awful
Gillibrand: Low but probably not as low as people think, have an easy time seeing her break out / top choice
Gravel: Zero / entertaining and has some good ideas
Harris: Decent / like her a lot, second choice
Hickenlooper: Close to zero / like him fine but don't think he adds anything unique or important to the race
Inslee: Close to zero / like him and hope his message on climate change pushes the eventual nominee in that direction and stays active in the conversation
Klobuchar: Lower than Gillibrand and similar to Booker / find her a bit boring and worry somewhat about the abusive allegations but overall am net positive (the abuse allegations likely inflated by sexist double standards)
Messam: Zero / why is he running?
O'Rourke: Decent / like him for who he is but can't stand the coverage of his campaign and find him to be generally egotistic and undeserving of a major role in this field
Ryan: Close to zero / like him fine but don't think he adds anything unique or important to the race
Sanders: Lower than people think / supported him in 2016 but think his time has passed and can't stand his supporters
Swalwell: Zero / why is he running?
Warren: Low / huge fan but one of the only candidates whose electability I genuinely worry about (even if I see the flaws with that concept)
Williamson: Zero / seems like a good person but why is she running?
Yang: Zero / annoying meme candidate whose position on circumcision feels playfully anti-semitic


Biden: yes, he'll run
Abrams: no, I think she'll declare for Sen-2020
Moulton: 50/50; he seems a bit smarter than Swalwell/Ryan/McAuliffe/etc. so hopefully he stays out
McAuliffe: Yeah unfortunately will probably run
De Blasio: probably not
Bullock: Seems highly likely

Tip: referring to people who identify with the Democratic Party with the adjective "Democrat" blows your cover.

Privately choosing to not mutilate your son's genitals is anti-Semitic, you racist alt-righter!

Likelihood to win, all estimates:

Bennet:  0.25%
Booker: Not bad, probably around 4%
Buttigieg: Increasing, around 10%
Castro: Negligible, would need to really energize his Latin base, 1%
Delaney: lol, 0%
Gabbard: would need Bernie to completely collapse, 0.01%
Gillibrand: 1%
Gravel: lol, 0%
Harris: 20%
Hickenlooper: maybe around 0.5%
Inslee: 1%
Klobuchar: I was a Klobuchar fan at first, but others have taken her lane. 2%
Messam: 0%
O'Rourke: 10%
Ryan: 0.5%
Sanders: 20%
Swalwell: 0.1%
Warren: people are underestimating her chances, she is definitely a possible nominee 5%
Williamson: 0%
Yang: 0.5%

Biden probably has about 15% too, and the others have the remaining (Abrams being the most likely outside of Biden and announced candidates)
