I would mix that up a little but not much.
And I voted for Hilary vs. Trump so I would dam sure vote for anybody in that list vs. SCROTUS now.

Warren and Sanders could have won last time. Americans had an appetite for crazy. But I think they've been satiated for now and will be looking for someone smart and centrist. That means either the comfort of an old sweater (Biden), a more intelligent billionaire (Bloomberg), or something safe but interesting, like Amy or Andrew.

If no one has separated themselves by now, it will be these 3 which lead all others by a large margin.

If that's true then Warren and Sanders will probably split the progressive vote and Biden swoops in. When the first two drop out it will be Biden, Bloomberg, and Yang left standing.

It's gonna be Joe. Just like it was Hilary.
At least he isn't quite as slimy as Hil.
At least not until Rudy can come up with one little piece of evidence that Joe got Hunter hooked up or something like that. One little shread is all SCROTUS needs. Twitter does the rest.
And it's probably there, too.
Just think. He can use the crimes he committed to avoid removal from office to keep it until 2024.

If you look at the long form interviews the candidates give, you will find that Yang and Gabbard have the most intelligent and well thought out policy positions.
I hope more people start to pay attention to Yang. He would win over a large number of intelligent Conservatives.

Intelligent voters are not the problem. It’s slack jawed yokels.

Slack jawed yokels are poor and will remain poor. If they knew what was best for them then they would have improved their lives before now.
If you were looking for a constituency that is credulous and will swallow the poison you want to feed them then you would look for the place where they feed. Look at the advertisers that sponsor right wing talk radio. They appeal to the credulous. Sellers of gold coins, dried food, credit card consolidation, superfood pills, pills of other dubious claims, anything that scares you to purchase things of no value....

My point is that your “intelligent voters” may be a minority.

Along those same lines....
It takes a very different set of skills to get elected President than it does to be a good President.
Good policy won't get you elected President.
That's how we got the term "electibility".
Gabbard, Yang, Buttigieg, Klobuchar are all good candidates with strong policy but they do not have the strong presence required to get elected.
Cletus is going to stick by Trump. The question is whether that will be enough to get him re-elected. We are starting to see some small cracks in his base that might leave him with only the 35% that really would let him slide if he shot someone on 5th Ave.
And while only the votes of the impartial jurors count in the trial, they all have to run for re-election some time and those votes are going to follow them forever. Plus, according to the polls, the number of people who favor impeachment and removal is higher than the number that voted for Scrotus. Even when you count the 5 million illegal votes for Hillary in CA.
