He's going to run and it is going to go terribly for him. I'm almost as excited to watch Andrew Cuomo's eighth place finish in the Iowa caucus

Antifar, who do you think will run, who do you think will be competitive in the primary, and who do you think will stand the best shot of winning?

I'm curious for your take on it

If Bernie Sanders doesn't run we should probably all vote Green Party like last time.

He doesn't sound like that bad of a choice considering some of the people suggested (Oprah, the rock, etc).

I certainly wouldn't vote for him, but he seems fairly even keeled (maybe I'm wrong, who knows?)

Biden actually got some unironic support in a 538 podcast recently about possible Democratic candidates. But there was also some apprehension due to all the #metoo climate.

This is little more than guesswork

Almost definitely running
Biden
Gillibrand
Booker

Probably running
Sanders
Warren
Harris
Cuomo (depends on how well this year's primary goes for him, I'm guessing)

Billionaires who might run, but I'm skeptical
Zuckerberg
Cuban
Tom Steyer for some reason

Also, I don't see Cuban running until the 2024 election. When you look at his dynamic history with Trump, I don't think he would ever risk losing to him. Yall know how Trump would act. He'd remind us every week how he beat mark Cuban and about how badly he lost. Cuban knows this and I don't believe he will risk it, yet.

While I agree it would/will be funny, the inevitable flop in the context of the 2 party would likely mean another 4 years of republicans which, as similar as they ultimately are, would be worse than some generously dem candidate.

Interesting, interesting. Why do you feel that Cuomo is such a bad candidate? (I'm not from NY and haven't followed him much)

I'd also put Eric Garcetti on there

And maybe Doug Jones as a possibility (hey, other people have suggested it first, not me)

I'd put Biden and Harris with a higher chance of winning than Warren or Booker. Booker is guaranteed to have a Rubio-esqe run in the primaries and fizzle away. And Warren has more to attack over Biden or Harris and I don't think she plays as well to the general public like the other two would.

None of it matters if Bernie runs as he wins the primary guaranteed and very likely the Presidency.

EDIT: Doug Jones SCREAMS VP more than anyone else in a very long time. The seat is going to be almost impossible to keep(assuming Moore somehow doesn't win the primary again) while he is just the kind of person to counter the more left wing of the party.

He has Hillary Clinton's general skeeviness and air of corruption with less charisma. As the governor of NY he's naturally going to be distrusted by people in middle America but he doesn't have the progressive bonafides you'd think would come along with that job.

I agree Jones would be a good VP pick, but I don't think he'd counter the left wing of the party at all.

The dude isn't a blue dog at all (except with guns, possibly), he's a genuine lefty. That's why his win was so astounding.

I think if he ran it'd be to raise his own profile and get either the VP position, or some other spot in the next Dem administration.

Hard to say. I'd wager that if Rubio was more charismatic he'd have had a much easier time establishing himself and defending against that sort of backlash.

Like, specific issues for Cuomo (most of these wouldn't get national play, but when you don't have a base to begin with...)

- He's fucking over the NYC subways, which are the governor's responsibility
- He's gone out of his way to prevent Democrats from controlling the state legislature so as to avoid the bad optics of vetoing progressive bills
- He's got some weird Chris Christie stains on him: http://gothamist.com/2016/10/04/cuomo_bridgegate_coverup.php
- This video: https://twitter.com/NYNOW_PBS/status/941023146936815616
- His big program to encourage businesses to come to NY hasn't done shit: https://www.nytimes.com/2016/07/02/nyregion/cuomos-start-up-program-meant-to-supercharge-economy-has-created-408-jobs.html

I agree, and as a conservative, I have more respect for them (Biden and Harris). Major DNC donors threatened to pull funds if Elizabeth Warren was selected as Clinton's running mate, so I think the DNC will think twice about using her as their next candidate.

My hunch: If the field is Sanders and a bunch of people who aren't Warren, Sanders is winning. Warren would be the only likely candidate who could split his vote, whereas there's much more overlap in the potential audience for Booker, Biden, Harris, etc. The main question is about Sanders age and health, and whether those prevent him from running.

See, I think Booker will play really well in the South, particularly given his role in campaigning on the ground for Jones.
