As of now, let's just rank candidates that have officially declared:
Richard Ojeda - Also no chance but he will likely get a lot of airtimeKama in debates. He can cause some damage
John Delaney - no chance. Playing for a cabinet position.
Julian Castro - Nothing about him stands out
Tulsi Gabbard - Somewhat intriguing but kind of like the Marco Rubio of the Democratic party. Female democrat that is a hawk and socially conservative...does not really fit this party.
Elizabeth Warren - Her popularity imo is waning. Her positions on the economy are out of step with middle America.
Kamala Harris - I only put her high because she will probably be the favorite among all minority Democrats in this country.
Kirsten Gillibrand - my reasoning, she is a moderate (or at least was) which makes her the safe choice. She will get the blessing from the Clinton family. If I had to choose between Harris and Gillibrand I think she has the advantage. If she can shift back to being more conservative on immigration and the second amendment, that will make her more electable and forces Trump to shift more right which will probably lose him supporters from the undecided crowd
