Sherrod Brown and Amy Klobacher would both be fine selections. As would Beto; but, while his inexperience might actually be a benefit in 2020, it would be a hindrance in 2021. I like Biden, too. But I think he is too old for a hopefully-8-year gig.
Come the General Election, I’d support a rabid porcupine over the current occupant of the WH (or Pence or any of their enablers). But regarding the Primary, there are several people running for the job whom I have serious reservations about. (Or worse.)

"RT, the Russia-funded news network, has run a series of glowing pieces about Gabbard, content that dredges up painful liberal memories of Russian propaganda boosting the 2016 Trump campaign.
“Establishment figures on both Right and Left are scrambling to smear the antiwar congresswoman with impeccable identity-politics bona fides,” read a typical RT dispatch this weekend."
