Preferring a guy be president is one thing but there is ZERO evidence there was a better realistic candidate Vs. Trump
Winning what? Winning the primaries? Or winning against Trump?

Like Sanders, Yang never had a chance of winning the primaries because both of them are not Democrat insiders. Isn't that concerning, considering both are better candidates? Biden is not as strong of a candidate as either when you actually focus on the issues, but Biden has insider status and therefore he gets the pick.

At the end of the day I still feel that a strong candidate would have easily won. Obama won twice. And to me he was as strong candidate. Good speaker, strong on issues, good debater, etc, etc. It didn't matter if you disagreed with his politics, you knew he was a good candidate.

I have to imagine people who actually care more about what the media floats on a daily basis are pretty concerned with what the result will be in November.
