I know the media types keep pushing for Elizabeth Warren now ahead Bernie Sanders….
But?

Joe Biden CONTINUES to be the FIRST choice as he has for most of the year….

Other popular choices included Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) with 13 percent and Sen. Kamala Harris (D-Calif.) at 9 percent.
Democratic Sens. Elizabeth Warren (Mass.) and Cory Booker (N.J.) were also possible candidates.
Biden has consistently polled ahead of other Democrats and Trump in a number of surveys about potential 2020 showdowns.

Because why?
“I can think about it later,” Gillibrand said during a meeting Friday with editors and reporters at The Buffalo News.
But Gillibrand stopped short of saying she wouldn’t run, despite a statement during a Thursday night debate that she would serve her six-year Senate term if elected….
