1. Pass, should be which would you NOT trust. n/t

[TreasonousBastard]

6. Yes!

[PatSeg]

17. That would be a more interesting poll

but it probably would start World War III at DU.

[rzemanfl]

19. It would just be part of the ongoing War. n/t

[PatSeg]

21. That's true

Its all getting a bit tedious though. I'll be glad when we have a nominee.

[rzemanfl]

22. Yes, then we can look forward to the dirtiest campaign ever waged by the Republicans, Russian

interference, ratfucking and all that good stuff.

[PatSeg]

24. I'm afraid elections

will never be the same again. Now other countries are trying to interfere as well. People will start to mistrust our whole electoral process, which is one of Putin's objectives.

If we don't get republicans out of power, we'll never be able to fix anything.

[rzemanfl]

25. It started in 2000. n/t

[LakeArenal]

28. Yes. I agree.

[PatSeg]

31. Yes

I remember how outraged we were back then, but now that looks pretty mild.

[ibegurpard]

2. they would all be fine on that front IMO

[awesomerwb1]

3. Any of them

[Squinch]

4. Really that kind of thing is what Bloomberg excells at. Organization and administration are how

he made his billions. It would be buttoned up in a day or two.

[LonePirate]

5. Warren and it is not even fucking close. She is the smartest and most competent candidate we have.

Plus, her communication skills and ability to explain things clearly is an asset almost none of her competitors have.

[Rorey]

7. I chose Warren too

Even though I'm stating that I'm a Biden supporter. I'd feel safe in her hands, so to speak.

[ibegurpard]

23. yep

[Moderateguy]

8. Anyone but Trump

I know that doesn’t answer the poll question. I picked Biden btw

[JustAnotherGen]

9. Biden

He's been through these challenges at the top level in the past. No training required.

[emmaverybo]

10. Biden understands the infrastructure and bureaucracy, was a part of admin. when Obama

marshaled military to fight Ebola, and has spent some years educating himself on medical research possibilities for cancer moonshot program. He seems well informed on coordination needed to pull together human talent for medical innovation, what resources are available, and he will undoubtedly choose great health team, be able to mount international response too. He knows who to call, how to negotiate through the channels.

[Hermit-The-Prog]

13. Biden is the only one with in-WH experience ...

I think it's a toss-up between Biden and Warren, with that experience from the inside giving him the nudge. I have confidence he'd move fast to put the right people in play to get it done.

(I still 'voted' for my candidate, here, though).

[emmaverybo]

18. Well, of course!

[mwooldri]

11. Warren, because she probably already has a plan.

But given any Democratic presidential nominee, the Dem or even the 3rd party over the Dump.

Edit to add: I chose Elizabeth Warren over Joe Biden because although Joe would have the on the job experience, I would suspect that DJT has done such a wrecking ball on the place it might as well be starting from square one, and Elizabeth Warren pretty much created a new government department from scratch and that's before being a senator.

[MoonlitKnight]

33. She released a plan on the 5th

And just introduced a bill.

[Doreen]

12. What emmyverybo said.

😊

[CTyankee]

14. The woman, of course.

Elizabeth. I would feel so safe and secure with her

[BusyBeingBest]

15. The guy who made Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health possible.

[mwooldri]

16. Apparently SNL has already weighed in re Sanders...

FWIW Sanders would be quite competent but I couldn't help but laugh when I saw this...

[democrattotheend]

20. I voted for Warren because I had to pick one

But I would trust Biden equally. There's nobody in our camp I wouldn't trust on something like this.

[Moderateguy]

26. Seriously? Someone would trust Gabbard to handle this?

[LakeArenal]

30. Like De Vos, who has been good with schools.

Sarcasm thingie:____here___.

[drray23]

27. I voted biden but I'm sure all our nominees would be perfectly capable.nt.

[blm]

29. No DOUBT it would be Warren. She is most organized and comprehensive, esp in terms

of assessing data and building infrastructure.

No one else would even be on that same level.

[LakeArenal]

32. Biden as this is a global virus...

Joe is most qualified globally.
