Bernie - win, probably gets more D senators than "Mr. Electable."
Warren - tossup
Bootyjugs/Klobs/Bloomberg - lean R

Lol what how would Bernie have pulled in more senators. With Bernie Perdue wins without a runoff , McSally might win a full term and Gideon still loses most likely .

Huh? I mean, he obviously had more minority appeal than anyone else in the field. Probably nobody could hit HRC's numbers let alone Obama's.

My point is that, regardless of whatever else you believe, Biden was objectively a much better fit for minority communities than Bloomberg, and the fact that 2020 proved minorities were poised to move right should make you worry about what Bloomberg's numbers would have looked like.

I think Kelly would still win in AZ. McSally is a quack.

It's clear to me at this point that Bloomberg, Warren, Sanders, Buttigieg, and Klobuchar all would have lost. Joe Biden truly was the only major Democratic candidate who could defeat Donald Trump this year, and even with Biden, it was a close result in the Electoral College. Bloomberg's nanny-state policies and his support for "Stop and Frisk", to say nothing of the personal allegations against him, would have sunk his candidacy, and as was demonstrated again this year, there is a diminishing point of returns with regards to money and elections.

Warren would have been tarred as "Pocahontas" and as an SJW by Trump; Sanders-the candidate that Trump most wanted to face-as an extreme "socialist" (almost tantamount to a communist). They would have done worse in the suburbs and would have lost the votes of Trump-skeptic independents and moderates who split their tickets between Biden and downballot Republicans. Buttigieg's poor record on race issues as Mayor of South Bend would have hurt him with minority voters, and as others have said, I don't believe that this country is ready for a gay male President. That alone would have energized rural and evangelical turnout for Trump.

And finally, Klobuchar's record on race issues, particularly in light of the George Floyd murder, would have hurt her with minorities, and I don't believe she would have had as much pull with suburbanites as Biden. Her low name recognition certainly would have hurt her, and Trump would have gotten under her skin, like he would have with Warren. Democratic primary voters this year made the right choice in selecting Biden, given the circumstances and the ultimate outcome.

Sanders: wins by way more than Biden, potentially sweeping 416 Electoral Votes
Warren: wins by slightly more than Biden
The other 3 do about the same as Biden
