1. not even a dem and will be 80
2. pedophile
3. unhinged alt-leftist
4. california values
5. no huge negatives, but doesn't really move the needle
6. who? no, seriously.

The next Democratic candidate will likely be a billlionaire CEO.

Pence wouldn't win the primary.

The door is opening wide for an Independent (I) POTUS.

Cuban? I had same thought. Like him or not, he is very smart and would dominate a debate against anyone else on that list.

There've been a few rumors the last few months that John Kasich and John Hickenlooper will start a cross-party independent campaign, though party insiders have reportedly told the latter that he's finished if he tries something like that. My sister lives out in Colorado and she thinks Hickenlooper is alright even though she's pretty conservative, honestly I don't think the Democrats can do much better than a moderate like him if your goal is to nominate the best candidate from their pool.

Someone convince bernie to run as an indy, so President Trump can win 40+ states in 2020!

I could probably vote for Kasich and Hickenlooper, certainly better than the 2016 D or R tickets. But it's not going to happen.

So these six got mentioned:

Quote:1. Bernie Sanders
2. Joe Biden
3. Elizabeth Warren
4. Kamala Harris
5. Sherrod Brown
6. Deval Patrick

If everything falls apart and goes to hell (and I readily admit that could happen), then yes any of the above-six could win. Other than that, though, Trump would simply stomp them. What stands out to me is that 5 of the 6 have basically Zero in the way of executive experience. Used to be, that would've been considered a huge negative. But maybe Obama and Trump have proven that voters just don’t care about that anymore.

IMHO, the Dems’ basic problem is, they still haven’t really come to terms with Hillary! losing a year ago. They may not have been all that crazy about her, but they were convinced she would win, and so they would be With Her until 2024 (a gruesome thought). At which point, they could figure out what they wanted to say to the next generation.

But then she lost, and so the planning/strategizing and jockeying-for-position has had to be suddenly bumped up by 4 years, all while dealing with the shock/horror of “President Trump” at the same time. It’s an awkward process.

By the way, US Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand (NY) is also currently testing the waters. Some strengths that the others lack, but she’s never played on the national level before. Also, US Sen. Cory Booker will take a shot at it, sooner or later. Whether he’ll do it this time or wait, is unclear for now.

And you are the same poster that said pence wouldn't win the Republican primary. Lmao.

You don't know how this election stuff works, do you

Sherrod Brown wouldn't even carry his home state of Ohio.

Philosophically, I'm not that far from Kasich, but I think he's nuts. He's the guy who thought a deadlocked convention full of Trump and Cruz voters would pick him!!!! He has an ego bigger than Obama's. He also was idiotic enough to make that comment about a baker "ought to sell a gay a cupcake." While it might be understandable for a Democrat living in their bubble to say that, its unbelievable that a Republican wouldn't understand the issues and would offend many Republican voters with that comment. I voted for Cruz in the primary, not Kasich.

Not Bernie, but a centrist (I) would take away enough Trump votes to beat him.

I wouldn’t vote Kasich for dog catcher, he is totally whacked, and I used to like him before his 2016 run.

Trump didn't carry his home state - wasn't even close.

I do think the Democrats need a strong candidate to emerge from the upper Midwest or deep South. But I don't believe Brown is that guy. By 2020 or 2024 I think we'll get a celebrity or athlete making a serious run. People will laugh but how is that any different than Reagan or Trump? I thought some people were saying Lebron James should make a serious run? If Peyton Manning runs for Senator and wins, maybe that will motivate someone. But I'll pass on Charles Barkley - he's not a strong enough golfer.

Haha

Just going off the top of my head, so this reads like :

Vermont
Delaware
Taxachussetts
Cali-land of fruits and nuts
Duck and cover Illinois, is that right?
No idea. But that’s ok.

So, that’s the bench? This six-pack?

Please, please, please let’s run a socialist/gaming the system entitled to OPM (other people’s money) ticket hauling from Vermont and the people’s republic of Ma.

Pence will take 48, perhaps 49 states. This’ll look like 1984 all over again.

Looks like Minnesota may well be in play...

Somewhere between 80 and 99.7% lock.

Book it.



Har, har, har

Patrick was the Governor of Massachusetts.

I think the first official candidate for 2020 is Eric Garcetti (mayor of Los Angeles). If he wins, he would become the first Jewish President and the first Hispanic President, and of course the first Jewish-Hispanic President.
