It will for me and probably you.
But is there anyone currently running that would make you get up early and stand in line in the cold rain to vote for if they weren't going up against the don?

Not really.
To be honest, right now I'm really worried that Warren is going to get the nod. She is more than capable, and I don't think she'd be a bad president overall, but I also see her as totally un-electable.
It was bad enough when she rose to Trump's bait and took that ridiculous DNA test, but she's also taken Mayor Pete's bait and released a very convoluted plan to pay for Medicare 4 All - the 'clear' parts of the plan seem to be raise taxes on the rich, have employers pay existing healthcare premiums to the government instead of the insurance companies, and lower payment to providers.
All while providing top-notch healthcare with no co-pays on anything to everyone. Doesn't take a Trump supporter to see that this bird ain't gonna fly.
Plus, too many voters view her as someone who thinks she's smarter than anyone else, and talks down to them. Not a good combination.
And as I've started watching her more, I find myself agreeing with them. She says that she's going to help the middle class and poor, but she comes off as never really having sat down and talked to that demographic to see what they really want and need.
Ugh - I do worry a lot that the orange one or his whack-a-doodle VP will be in power come 2021, and it scares the living crap out of me.

There are certainly those of us that will walk, limp, or crawl to the polls to make sure The Big Orange One doesn't get reelected (if he survives that long, one way or the other). I question the electability of not only Warren, but just about anyone other than Biden vs Drumph because of low turnout in very important places. Right now as it stands my primary vote goes to Buttgag. Buttgig. Whatever. As far as having someone out there that really speaks to me as a Democrat, that inspires any confidence in me, or has a message about the direction we need to head in that resonates with me..... nada.
Yeah I'm worried too. But I was also worried the Nats would not win another game after being up 3-0.
