Poll Who do you think is the best candidate to debate Donald Trump? (22 votes)
And what do you base your opinion on?

Bernie Sanders. He doesn't get flustered by aggressive lines of questioning, and knows when to brush off BS. Trump's good at controlling a conversation, and Bernie doesn't take the bait as much as many of the other candidates (including my favorite, Elizabeth Warren). Honestly, even though he isn't my first choice, I think Bernie has the best chance of winning.
Sanders doesn't take no one's shit and he's very sharp for his age. He has shown many times he can quickly come up with a good answer to swat down attacks while handling his own beliefs aptly. I think he would do best in a debate with Trump.
Warren does well in debates though, and seeing as she's the front runner and as of this moment most likely to be up there, I think she could beat him just fine. She has successfully downplayed quite a bit of cherrypicked nonsense so far, which is about all they'd come at her with.
Biden attempts too much to appeal to normalcy and nothing further, which is losing him democratic votes and won't pull over independents or republicans. I think he wouldn't lose persay but it's basically a stalemate.
Harris, despite being great on the offensive, showed in the second debate she's weaker on the defensive, and Trump / Trumpets have no shame so going all in on offense isn't a great strategy.
Pete would do pretty well I think. He appeals similarly to the middle like Biden, but has a better charismatic draw, and he's been fairly sharp. I'd say he'd beat Trump in a debate.
Yang's a bit of an enigma. Since he has no political career and hasn't been forced into a head-on confrontation with an opponent, it's hard to say. But I think he gives good answers most of the time.
Of course, this assumes they even let Trump up to the debate podium with his mid-tier dementia.
Warren, easily. I've been really impressed with her ability to concisely explain complex policy positions in an easily digestible manner. Even if she's not the next president, I think her voice on the campaign trail has been critically important in moving the football forward.
All of them. Trump can barely speak in full sentences these days.
Hillary smoked him in every single debate and still lost the election. Hard to know how much these things really matter in the 24/7 news cycle and social media age.
#Joe Biden
Joseph Robinette Biden Jr. is an American politician who served as the 47th vice president of the United States from 2009 to 2017. Biden also represented Delaware in the U.S. I like his leader personality.
@Sevenizz: Mostly because it won't be a serious debate when Trump is participating.
I know it wasn't last time. He sucked at debating.

Put on a show and win in the eyes of his supporters. And they will chant it louder than anyone else.
I would prefer someone like Corey Booker to be honest. He's got some good progressive ideas but won't burn down the US economy like Sanders or Warren.
