Re: For Non Republicans Only: Who Would You Like To See Win The 2016 Democratic Prim
I like Warren, but I don't think she's do well in a national election. She doesn't have the chops.
Biden is a non-starter. Booker's strength so far is the kind of hands-on stuff that Presidents can't really do. Cuomo, maybe, let's see how NY shapes up in a few years.
Clinton is fairly popular, survived the primary loss with her reputation in decent shape, has a lot of appeal to the center. The far right will shriek endlessly about Benghazi and who knows what other old news; after the Foster nonsense, I suspect she can handle it -- probably better than the other candidates can handle a similar scandal.
Plus, I know it's a bit shallow, but we are well overdue for a woman president. Heck, even Pakistan had a woman president years before the US.
