Top favorite:
Bernie

Interested in:
Warren (a very close second)
Williamson
Yang
Castro
Inslee

Not interested, but would support enthusiastically in general:
Kamala (As insufferable as her supporters are, I do like her, but her flipflopping concerns me)
Beto (Generic D)
Bullock (Generic D)
de Blasio (Generic D)
Buttigieg (his record on criminal justice is much more troubling than Kamala's)

Actively opposed to, but would support in the general if push comes to shove:
Gillibrand (supported a takeover of my CD)
Klobuchar (generic vaguely right-wing D)
Swalwell (cop apologism)
Booker (right-wing on economics, would probably be #Never if he wasn't for criminal justice)
Hickenlooper (right-wing on economics)
Bennet (defending Islamophobes, selling Omar down the river, right-wing but not right-wing enough to be #Never)

Under no circumstances:
Gabbard (egregious grift)
Moulton (the architect of an outside takeover of my congressional district)
Biden (Actively campaigning on appeasing Republicans)
Delaney (no right-wingers pls)
Ryan (see Delaney)

Only ranking candidates I'd seriously consider voting for in the primaries:

1. Warren
2. Castro
3. Harris
4. Klobuchar
5. O'Rourke
6. Pete
7. Inslee
8. Booker

The rest are interchangeable white guys with no charisma, a couple ancient dudes who have no damn business running for president, and the weirdos.

Is this supposed to be our favorites or most likely to win or most likely to get the nomination?  I'm gonna assume the first with this list:

Biden
Ryan
Bennet
Hickenlooper
Delaney   
Bullock
Klobuchar
Buttigieg
Gabbard
Yang
O'Rourke
Sanders
Inslee
Gravel
Warren
Booker
Castro
Harris
Gillibrand
de Blasio

Haven't really formed an opinion on:

Williamson, Swalwell, Moulton 


Most of my favorites have no real shot at the nomination except Biden, who if he wins, there's a fairly decent chance I would vote for.

In terms of who will make the next debate or essentially in terms of how I think the polls will line up, this is how I see it.  Other than the people putting on the debate likely wanted an even number, I think it was a pure coincidence that it was a nice round 20.  However, I hope they keep that up and cull the second debate to 10.

Keep in mind that to be in the top 10 likely still requires no more than 3-5% support.  So, a candidate like Tulsa Gabbard who has a small but definitive and loyal base of support I would expect to make the second round.

1.Joe Biden
2.Elizabeth Warren
3.Bernie Sanders
4.Peter Buttigieg
5.Kamala Harris
6.Julian Castro
7.Cory Booker
8.Beto O'Rourke
9.Tulsi Gabbard

In terms of who I most favor, I look at four things to judge a candidate before I look to their positions on the issues, although obviously it's hard to disentangle these things:  temperament, judgement, knowledge and experience.  Temperament to me includes not only their ability to remain calm when it's best to remain calm, but also such things as honesty and integrity.  

Obviously it's rare to find a candidate who has all of these things (I thought Hillary Clinton was the best candidate to run for President in a long time, but even her judgement was sometimes questionable.  I don't think any of the candidates this time is as qualified as Hillary Clinton was.)


These are the only ones who cross the threshold for me, not that I wouldn't support the others against Donald Trump (I'm not even American though.)

1.Elizabeth Warren
2.Cory Booker
3.Peter Buttigieg
4.Jay Inslee
