Top Ten Greatest Democratic Presidential Candidates of This Century
Dating back to 2000. Similar list for Republicans coming soon. Keep debate civil.
Barack Hussein Obama II (born August 4, 1961) is an American politician who served as the 44th president of the United States from 2009 to 2017. He was the first African-American president of the United States.
A member of the Democratic Party, he previously served as a U.S. senator from Illinois from 2005 to 2008 and as an Illinois state senator from 1997 to 2004. He wasn't my first choice personally, but it's undeniable he was the best candidate of this century. He has charisma, intelligence, some humor, likeability, a strong persona, lots of energy, looks, youthfulness and straight alpha male confidence.
Are you serious? No you can't actually be serious
Barack Obama was better than George Bush.
Hillary Diane Rodham Clinton (born October 26, 1947) is an American politician, diplomat, and former lawyer who served as the 67th United States secretary of state from 2009 to 2013, as a United States senator representing New York from 2001 to 2009, and as first lady of the United States from 1993 to 2001 as the wife of President Bill Clinton. A member of the Democratic Party, she was the party's nominee for president in the 2016 presidential election, becoming the first woman to win a presidential nomination by a major U.S. political party; Clinton won the popular vote, but lost the Electoral College vote, thereby losing the election to Donald Trump. Not the best candidate, but she is 1 infinity times better than Donald Trump ever will be. Bernie Sanders might be better than her, but I'd choose any Democrat over Donald Trump.
She's not a good candidate. She's running neck to neck with a candidate whom 2/3 of the country hates.
How can a complete liar be a good candidate?
She stinks so much that skunks run from her
Albert Arnold "Al" Gore Jr. is an American politician and environmentalist who served as the 45th Vice President of the United States from 1993 to 2001 under President Bill Clinton. Gore ran a very safe campaign. I wouldn't say he was an exceptional candidate in any way. If Gore had a little more energy and charisma, he could have smashed Bush.
Bernard "Bernie" Sanders is an independent American Senator from Vermont and was a candidate for the Democratic nomination for President of the United States in the 2016 and 2020 elections. I feel like Bernie Sanders is underrated. I wish he could be beating Hillary Clinton so the hate for the Democrats stops, but my family comes first. I am rooting for Sanders or Clinton to win to beat Trump.
His style of populism is the future of the Democratic Party. The party has ahead an issue of being elitist, low energy and not very good at grassroots organization.
Really nice, smart, honest and a candidate who would would help millions.
John Forbes Kerry is an American diplomat and Democratic Party politician who is the 68th and current United States Secretary of State.
Joseph Robinette Biden Jr. (born November 20, 1942) is an American politician who is the 46th and current president of the United States. A member of the Democratic Party, he served as the 47th vice president from 2009 to 2017 under Barack Obama and represented Delaware in the United States Senate from 1973 to 2009. ...read more. Who is laughing now? He could have beaten Trump easily, but the Dems were dead set on the coronation of Queen Hillary.
The only one worth a second look; a real shame he did not get further.
Elizabeth Ann Warren is an American academic and politician. She is a member of the Democratic Party and is the senior United States Senator from Massachusetts.
Kamala Devi Harris (born October 20th, 1964) is an American politician and attorney who is the 49th and current vice president of the United States. She is the first female vice president, as well as the first African American and first Asian American vice president in American history.
Tulsi Gabbard (born April 12, 1981) is an American politician and a former Democrat who served as the United States Representative for Hawaii's 2nd congressional district from January 3rd, 2013 to January 3rd, 2021. Tulsi Gabbard left the Democratic Party on October 11th, 2022, and is now an Independent.
