I'm tentatively offering an AV bet: Bernie Sanders will be the 2020 Democratic nominee for president. I'm taking 'yes'. Anyone want the other side?

Why would anyone bother engaging you in bets when you walk away from them is beyond me

If you think it's a really strong position, you might be able to entice @Jack V Savage into a bet. I believe he doesn't even see him as the frontrunner, let alone as having better chances than the field.

I definitely wouldn't take him over the field. He's one of the frontrunners, though.

I bet your heart leapt when Beto announced... Now if Biden just gets in you may end up with that Biden/Beto 2020 dream ticket!

I didn't even know you had a stated view on the topic. I just picked those guys as your probable favorites because they are the two candidates with the closest connections to the Obama machinery. And I think your Obama fanboy cred is well established here.

I've commented many times on them and my preferences in the field. The fact that you consistently get those preferences extremely wrong at the very least suggests that you have a very poor handle on my thinking, but I suspect more deliberate misrepresentation, in keeping with your general pattern and low character.

Your Obama fanboy cred is unquestioned.

@ultramanhyata I believe his preferred picks that are still in the race are (1) Warren, (2) Klobuchar [big gap] (3) Saint Bernard

Although I personally would expect him to be highest on Cory Booker and higher on Gillibrand and Snifferpooper.

This is the first post of yours I have even come across in quite a while. I did not know you have been pushing a candidate of choice. Rather than regurgitating your usual ad hominem shtick why don't you just restate that preference for my benefit.

This would make a great grown-up version of the old Sesame Street One Of These Things Is Not Like The Other bit.

There's no schtick. I am genuinely not a fan of your constant dishonesty and inability to behave maturely and honorably.

All candidates differ from each other in various ways, and all have some similarities. Clearly whatever it is you find to be most significant about them is not what I find to be most significant. Also clearly, you're unable to discuss any potential differences in outlook like a man.

But who's going to embarrass libertarians this election?

First, are Trotsky's selections and their order accurate - given that Beto has just announced and Biden will almost certainly be announcing (according to his own cryptic public statement) within the next couple weeks?

Second, are these the candidates you would personally like to see get the nomination or those you believe most likely to get the nomination?
