Democratic Primaries
Related: About this forumI need help with the Washington State Primary
I live in Washington State and our primary is March 10. This is the first time in my life that I could understand how anybody could be undecided at this point, but that's where I am. My main goal with this post is only to find who everyone thinks is the best candidate to beat trump. So please be honest and don't think about a candidate's platform unless the platform helps or hurts in a run against trump.
Thank you!
P.S. I can't post a poll because I'm not a Star Member. That will probably change. But I can really use your help. Here are the candidates as they appear on my ballot.
Bennet
Biden
Bloomberg
Booker
Buttigieg
Delaney
Gabbard
Klobuchar
D. Patrick
Sanders
Steyer
Warren
Yang

(6,544 posts)She can approach both the moderate and progressive voters in the Democratic Party, and will appeal to women in general. If you saw her in the last debate, you can see she will not hesitate to take down Trump

(29,098 posts)She is the best option to bring unity to the party as the Bernie wing and the moderates maybe able to swallow their differences and support a Progressive who is less controversial. She would really make a fine President and would wipe the floor with Trump in a debate.

(945 posts)Every supporter thinks their Candidate can beat Trump.
I will share my thoughts on Bloomberg: He stands a better than average chance because he will appeal to right-leaning independents and Republicans who are just tired of Trump. So he will actually build a coalition of voters for him

(6,278 posts)Both will have enthusiastic supporters in an election we win by turning out our voters, who are more numerous than the Republicans. Warren gave Bloomberg a taste of what she can do to Trump in a debate. She carries a populist message similar to Bernie's without self-identifying as a socialist (which too many will translate, out of either malice or ignorance, into "communist" ). I think it does matter that she actually has pretty firm answers to give regarding estimates costs and revenue streams associated with her policy ideas.
Warren can be exciting without being too polarizing. I think she and Bernie attract somewhat different sets of independents. Bernie probably does have a shot at the folks who voted for Trump because they were just looking to shake things up. Warren will appeal to folks in the middle who are looking for change and a leader who is willing to be pragmatic about how to make it happen.
