Sanders 16

Warren 15

Steyer 12

I prefer all of them over Trump. All of them recognize the urgency of ameliorating climate change, which is the most dangerous problem affecting our children and grandchildren, if not us. Trump and his administration just doesn't care, because they know that most of them will be dead before the worst of the consequences will be upon us.
No precept or claim is more likely to be false than one that can only be supported by invoking the claim of Divine authority for it--no matter who or what claims such authority.

They are for actually doing infrastructure instead if waving a hand about it. They want better trade deals and have made them. They want border security, though not a grossly expensive wall that always has weakness.

Happy to hear that you believe in stuff.
If only there were facts we could base those beliefs upon...like the rate of illegal border crossings since Trump's policies were enacted.
And which economy is Obama's again?

Man, Bloomberg is trying to straight up buy the election and it is sort of working. That's concerning.

Trump started calling Mike Bloomberg "mini Mike" in the Sean Hannity interview and he started this lie about Bloomberg requesting a box to stand on during the debates so he could look taller.

The response by the Bloomberg team was priceless, and something youd expect Trump to say. They fought fire insults with insults of their own and I think that resonates with a lot if people. Maybe what we need is the Left's version if Trump.

There's no real "left's version of Trump" but the closest one is Sanders.

In terms of popularity, sure. I was thinking more of the white male billionaire who throws caution to the wind and speaks his mind. He's also something of a celebrity with celebrity backing (i.e. Judge Judy is vouching for him). He's also worth over $60 billion which makes him probably 20-30 times wealthier than Trump.
