I agree that the Democrats need someone young. Sanders and Biden are in the 70s and will be in their 80s when they get out of office. I personally don't know much about Buttigieg, except for he is mayor of South Bend, Indiana, he's gay and he's supports Medicare-For-All (like most Democrats do because that is a popular position to have right now.) Booker and Gillibrand are establishment candidates like Hillary Clinton was, I don't see them defeating Trump at all. Harris is also establishment, but she supports progressive policies and would get the intersectional vote for her being black, but I don't see she defeating Trump, unless if Trump messes up very badly between now and the election. Beto is same, but I personally love the Beto memes.

Whoever challenges Trump in the primaries is wasting time. Trump has a 90% apporval rating among his fellow Republicans. Weld is too socially liberal to become the nominee, as he is pro-choice. Flake, Hogan and Corker are probably not going to run. Kasich bet, but he would probably only win Ohio in the primaries.
