I think on it's face that's true. But Biden continues to stumble against a fairly friendly field. Half the time I don't understand what he's trying to say and he just rambles until he trails off. I think once he's under the bright lights one-on-one with Trump he'll be made to look a weak, old fool (to Trump's strong, old fool).

I think Sanders, and to a lesser extent Warren, will energize the right against them and put Trump back in for another 4 years.

That may be true. However, a lot of polls show that on the actual issues themselves a majority of Americans agree with a majority of the progressive positions. I suspect the packaging and labeling may be enough to dissade some of 'middle' America to vote for Bernie or Warren: Bernie as the crazy socialist and Warren as the SJW anti-corporatist.

I'd be all over a Booker/Buttigieg ticket. Those are two men who are what this country sorely needs: Men of character and leadership. It doesn't hurt that they're quite smart and passionate as well. That's what Obama was (perhaps quite a bit smarter though), and that's what people responded to in the general election.

That would certainly be better than what they have now. I still have reservations about Booker's ties to corporate America and Buttigieg's inexperience.
I think Warren is likely best suited for the job out of the bunch of them. But she does have a bit of a messaging issue.
