It's too early to separate "think" from "hope". (Score:3, Insightful)
At this stage of the process, it's too early to make that distinction. Whatever reasons you have for "hoping" for one candidate, you can "think" of rationales, both for and against.
Obviously I should use my own favorite, Yang, as my example. Yeah, I know he has no political base and started with no name recognition, but the other candidates are mostly similar, so Yang stands out just because he is so different. Also, I think he is the most appealing candidate for certain categories of Trump voters, and much as I despise many Trump supporters, I do believe that if a significant number of them are drawn away from Trump, then that would be the surest way to make sure Trump goes down HARD in November. Trump is NOT going to suddenly become more attractive to anyone who is not already on board the delusional bandwagon. The minute the Trump Gang (of so-called Republicans) notice that he's losing support they will stab him. No honor among thieves.
And yes, I did exaggerate in one place. I should have said that I have yet to meet a Trump supporter who didn't make me despise him. That includes a couple of people who used to be friends of various sorts. And no pronoun confusion, either. Maybe I'm just lucky, but I have yet to meet a female Trump supporter (though I've seen some on TV).

Sanders will beat Trump because he is the only candidate who can -- nationwide -- get young people to come out and vote. When turnout is high, Democrats win. When turnout is low, Democrats lose. Democrats need at least 10 percent higher turnout nationwide to overcome the electoral college discount. The only one who will generate high-turnout is Sanders.
