Spooked by the 2016 election, Democratic voters say they want above all else someone who can beat President Donald Trump, according to a new poll Monday.
The only problem is they disagree on how you beat Donald Trump.
The poll from Monmouth University found that an unusually large number of Democratic voters are prioritizing "electability" over values as they begin to think about whom to support in their 2020 presidential primary.
"In prior elections, voters from both parties consistently prioritized shared values over electability when selecting a nominee," said Patrick Murray, the director of the Monmouth University Polling Institute. "It looks like Democrats may be willing to flip that equation in 2020 because of their desire to defeat Trump. This is something to pay close attention to when primary voters really start tuning into the campaign."
In the survey, 56 percent of potential Democratic voters nationally said they preferred someone who would be a stronger candidate against Trump, even if they don't agree with that candidate on all issues. Meanwhile, 33 percent said they would prefer someone who aligns better with their beliefs, but who might have a harder time beating Trump.
Just 10 percent rejected the question, saying there is no tradeoff between the two.
The problem for Democrats is that, after Trumps shocking upset in 2016, there's widespread disagreement on what electability even looks like....

“The only problem is they disagree on how you beat Donald Trump.”
You can’t. You won’t. NEXT! :)
All they need is another mystery man around whom they can create a hope filled fairy tale
Cue the Bloomberg Propo Blitz...
Even Oprah is in on it.
HE gave Dems $110 Million for the 2018 elections, and expects to be President. It is why the “Opinion Management Orgs” are already seeding lies about Gabbard, and Starbucks guy.
Maxine!
Meanwhile, 33 percent said they would prefer someone who aligns better with their beliefs, but who might have a harder time beating Trump.

So 1/3 of Democrats would stil prefer someone who is a nihilist to one degree or another?
Don’t hold your breath waiting for the fifth-column leftist media to expose the lies and corruption of the Demonicrat candidates.
The Gibsmedats just care about gibmedat.
They (Democrats) are just anti-Trump. They do not know what they are for. They are, at this time, clueless.
They need this thing with the huge teeth. Facts don't matter as she's morally right. Too bad she's too young to run.
Willy Brown was trying to do Damage Control for Harris this week about their ‘love affair’ and all that hogwash.
It backfired BIGLY, LOL!
Trump should switch parties. Then the democrats can win :-)
Build the Wall and Trump is unbeatable.
The Rat party is so full of sanctimonious hypocrital phonies, they dont know or care what they stand for besides hating Trump.
The Rat @ssh*les running for POTUS are in the same pit Cankles was in, trying to invent credible and admirable reasons why theyre running.
Phonies, morons, narcissists, LOSERS!!!
Stuff like this must be why Hickenlooper is in Iowa.
They’ll just run a socialist, fascist, commie Santa Claus & Mary Poppins, who promises everything to everyone, except the rich, who’ll get hosed. Still won’t work. Trump’ll stomp them both.
The purpose of this poll is to get Shultz to give up his Independent run. What he does after that (runs as a Dem or sits it out), doesn’t matter to the Dems, since he won’t make it past the first debate in any case.
The chimp voters are already being trained for 2020 with that commercial that goes, “Free. Free. Free, free, free.”
