Opinion: What happened when I asked Twitter to choose among the 21 Democrats
With Sen. Michael F. Bennet's entry into the 2020 presidential race, there are now 21 candidates for the Democratic nomination. By Jonathan Capehart Jonathan Capehart Opinion writer focusing on the intersection of social and cultural issues and politics Email Bio Follow Opinion writer May 2 at 6:25 PM Journalists are famous for using taxis, barbershops, even cocktail parties to take the temperature of “real people” about people and issues in the news.
What I found out was actually rather interesting. I couldn’t get through all of the more than 1,000 responses that I’d received by 1 p.m. on Thursday, but I got through enough to notice a really interesting pattern among my admittedly unscientific and self-selecting sample. While the new polls show former vice president Joe Biden as the runaway favorite in the crowded field, he’s not among the favorites of the folks who responded to me.
The interesting pattern that emerged was that for many, Harris and Warren were the top two choices. It was either Harris then Warren or Warren then Harris. More often that not, I noticed a Harris-Warren-Biden troika. And, in that, you see three strands of the Democratic contest.
