Before we talk about the huge number of presidential candidates perhaps we should ask ourselves what sort of person could beat Donald Trump?
We should remember he is a minority president! He also is ignorant . bombastic and possesses little concentration.
This means a policy wonk who concentrates on being a policy wonk would certainly show up Trump as a president who does not know or understand important policy positions. Something that mysteriously policy wonk Hillary Clinton did not attempt to do
now when you have a myriad of candidates will you get this? If the previous republican primary season is any guide no. The Candidate who won had few policies but plenty of one-liners.
I am at a loss why candidates who have no chance of winning are allowed to participate in the debates.
I should also comment on Joe Biden and Bernie Sanders.
Joe Biden has a poor record in primaries and is by no means a policy wonk. Bringing civility back to the presidency won't work. Just remember he is even older than Trump as well and we can see how age is affecting trump now!
Bernie sanders had the advantage of being really different and you could vote for him knowing you could stay pure because you knew he would not be the candidate.
This time democrat voters know they have a real chance of tossing out Trump PROVIDED they pick the right candidate.
If they do not winnow out the large number of candidates they could well help in re-electing Donald Trump
