Don't be so sure about Bernie Sanders not being able to win. There are a lot of people with student debt and no insurance, who will do everything they can to get that guy elected. His fans are True Believers!

yea, Bernie and his socialism is a double edged sword. People with any sense don't want socialism. Stupid people, it sounds good to them.
We just dont know who outnumbers who.
That Mayor Pete guy seems to be popular. I don't know anything about him. Perhaps no dirt on him. I think he's the one that can easily beat Trump. His sexual preference is the only thing that may hurt him.

Once you look at Mayor Pete’s positions you’ll find he’s as left as Bernie and Pocahontas. He just doesn’t come off as bat poop crazy as the others. Just my 0.02 worth

Mayor Pete stands for nothing besides wanting to be President. He's an empty suit that will say and do whatever it takes to get elected. The only Dem I respect is Andrew Yang. He doesn't seem to really want the job of president, but just warn everyone about the dangers of Automation. He still sucks on the gun issue, but he appears to be the only Democrat that actually is genuine.

Sanders was my top of the head suggestion, based on my perception that this country will never elect a socialist (they all call themselves "democratic", by the way, e.g., the People's Democratic Republic of China, etc.). Also, he's actually got a chance of getting the Demo nomination. If we support someone who doesn't have a chance of getting the nomination, we've wasted our efforts. I'd be happy to go with whatever name those more skilled in the art of political analysis might suggest, but I think we have to pick someone and orchestrate a statewide campaign really quickly.
It's one thing to sit around and bellyache and moan about what's going on, but I think we need to go on the offensive and use effective tactics to achieve our own agenda. We sat around and ignored the fact that the foreign invasion from the South wasn't "war", and there are still subversives trying to obscure that fact (an unarmed invasion is still an invasion). I've been warning folks for years that we are under attack and that attack amounts to a war, on us and on our Constitution. A failure to respond as though there were no war, merely a political controversy, will guarantee failure. I see our present situation as a last chance to restore freedom that has been intentionally and maliciously degraded since the early 1900's.
Example: Bloomberg has organized his own political party ("Moms Demand Action"), exactly the same way Hitler did ("Hitler Youth") and Mao Tse-Tung did ("Red Guards"). He can turn out "moms" all over the U.S. to do canvassing, man the polls, ring doorbells, and register voters on a moment's notice. They're probably already doing it. And why are those folks so eager to press for gun control? No, Chris Plante, they're not stupid, and they're not crazy; they know perfectly well what the consequences will be and they INTEND to turn Richmond, Roanoke, Hampton Rds. and Northern Va. into clones of Chicago, Los Angeles, Baltimore, New York and Prince George's Co. More violent crime means more fear, and more fear means an opportunity to create a police state. Dachau, anyone?

Interesting concept.
However, the majority of voters are too stupid to think for themselves and if they see a flurry of voting for an idiot, I'm sure they would promptly "climb aboard". We need to also consider their bitterness of not receiving a participation ribbon (loser trophy) in the last election - they would support Satan for president and Hitler for his vice just to throw Trump in our faces.
