Rank Your Bottom-3 Presidential Candidates, Pre-Iowa Caucuses (1 Viewer)

I think the only candidates I can’t / won’t vote for in the general are 1. Trump, 2. Gabbard and 3. Bloomberg (& Steyer).

You're worried about Steyer but not Bloomberg?

I agree with The General - at least Bloomberg has some experience.  Steyer would literally be buying the Presidency, IMO - continues the bad precedent we set last time.  Bloomberg would probably be in my bottom 4 though.

The problem with polls like this and the other one (top 3) is the pretense that there is any viable candidate who is comparable to Donald Trump. There isn’t. It’s basically Trump, who has been a disaster as President, one one side, and everybody else running on the other side. The only question before the electorate is: are we going to to extend the disaster or stop it? That’s it. Everything else is insignificant.

Maybe.  Or maybe it provides some insight into which candidates have excitement behind them, and which candidates will absolutely tank the voter turnout.

Honestly I don’t think there’s too much relationship between the two. Excitement in the primaries does not necessarily lead to excitement in the general election. In fact, if we examine Presidential elections over the past 50 years I can point to just as many  examples where it led to failure than to success. This is because, obviously, the base of each party tends to be more extreme than the population at large. 

 
of the leading candidates

Warren - phony/socialist

Bernie - way too progressives

Steyer - his platform is mostly ridiculous

Basically if you are a progressive you have zero shot at my vote as I believe socialism can kill our country and eventually destabilize the world order.

Hillary caused the disaster, quit pawning off on us to stop it.

A few thoughts on this. I agree with you about socialism. But I don’t think there’s any way that Bernie or Warren, if elected, could impose anything close to a socialist society. For that they would need the agreement of both houses of Congress and that will NEVER happen in our lifetimes, full stop. If elected both Bernie and/or Warren will govern as liberal Democrats in terms of foreign policy, and as helpless neuters in terms of domestic and economic policy. I can live with that. (Bernie in particular would be amusing since he would have virtually no allies; both Democrats and Republicans would cooperate to thwart nearly everything he tried to do.) 

 
Would never vote for Donald Trump. 

Not that thrilled with Joe Biden. 

Probably wouldn’t vote for Liz, she lost me somewhere along the way. 

 
Trump 

Sanders

Warren

Remove those three from consideration and I'm fine with however it shakes out from there.  Biden is too old, but he'll have a solid staff that can run things for him.

 
Interesting that Trump dominates some peoples minds to such an extent that they can't answer a straight forward question.

 
Trump

Sanders

Gabbard

In fairness, the gulf between 1 and anybody else is about twice as wide as Trump's ego.

 
As of today I guess I have to go Trump, Bloomberg, Pete. But it's tough, there's just so many awful candidates.
