Something tell me Hillary, Obama and Kerry didn't win this kind of poll at this point before the election.

I am equally split between Beto and Biden as my first choices. I do know if niether of those two got in and Warren did I would vote for her.

Mainly because I've always liked him and his qualifications are there.

It's still very early (too early IMO) and I could change my mind.

is also a couple of my reasons why I like him. I would like to see either a Beto/Biden or Biden/Beto ticket but that is probably never going to happen.

I think there are a number of listed candidates who could be great. The upcoming contest of campaigns and ideas will, I think, be illuminating.

I'm currently intrigued to learn more about most of them - particularly Beto, Kamala & Elizabeth

I like Joe & Bernie but want someone fresher

I am impressed with her; she seems to be the only candidate who can carry the midwest unless Sharrod Brown runs. I love Biden but his time has passed, he will have little chance in the primary let alone in general election. He hasn’t said anything about medicare for all, w/o its support, no dem has a chance to win in a primary due to overwhelming majority of the base supporting universal healthcare act. I’d like to see Biden as secretary of state. I am still hoping that Sharrod runs.

no idea at all.

But, I'd be very happy with any one of them as our nominee and I'll vote for anyone with a D after their name to get that horrible thing out of the white house.
