While taking on the somber role of interviewing Democratic primary candidates based on substance and character, the Globe editorial board also had some fun reflecting on what superlatives we’d award each candidate we met (and also those we didn’t meet) if they were in our high school yearbooks.
Bernie Sanders
Most likely to have a jam band perform at the Democratic National Convention.
Elizabeth Warren
Most likely to already have a plan when her friends ask her if she has plans.
Pete Buttigieg
Most likely to charm someone’s grandfather at a seder.
Amy Klobuchar
Most likely to comb through policy papers on her way to get a salad.

Deval Patrick
Most likely to say "I wasn’t late for the 2020 race; I was just early for 2024.”
Andrew Yang
Most likely to go out for a beer with you — especially if it’s trivia night.
Tom Steyer
Most likely to overstay his welcome at a dinner party while wearing that snazzy red plaid tie.
Michael Bennet
Most likely to play for the Patriots. Oh, wait: that’s Michael Bennett.
Michael Bloomberg
Most likely to be praying for a brokered convention.
Tulsi Gabbard
Most likely to become a Republican.
Joe Biden
Most likely to retire in South Carolina.
