Good Dem Candidate Rundowns

Not sure how far Vox is going to go with these, but they have three up now, one each for Sanders, Warren, and Biden.  They are trying to make the "best" case for each candidate.  Reading them all, I think the one for Warren makes the best case for president (i.e. that she would be the most effective president of the bunch), the one for Sanders makes the best case for ability to win [the 2020 general election] and the one for Biden is just, well, weak--it may be right, but it's a weak argument.

At some level, it probably doesn't matter too much who wins, but of the candidates left I like Warren and Sanders both--I had hoped one would drop out to support the other by now but they're both too high up in the polls for that.  I think Biden is a bad choice, I don't really care for Buttigieg either, Klobuchar is fine but there are better options no matter what your big issue is, and I've no idea why Steyer or Bloomberg are even in the race or, for that matter, if they still are (also not sure if Gabbard is still in, though she does/did at least have a different perspective on some things even if I disagree with her on those differences).
