Who do you think?

Sherrod Brown, Jerry Brown, Bob Iger, Oprah, Michelle Obama, or others?

or No One?

My view is Democratic bench is really very weak and thin for this election.

Cory Booker was a good candidate but he never got on tract due to Kamala Harris and Biden stealing the AA vote

The same democrats that win all the time and outrun other democrats
- Sherrod Brown
- Jon Tester
- Tammy Baldwin
- Bob Casey
- Amy Klobuchar (is running)

They all are very similar on policy and trying to build a consensus to bring people together but progressives simple don’t want these people they want disrupters who want to fight which is a losing formula.

Democrats didn’t win the house by appealing to progressives. They won by running sane candidates that want to work together and not fight. Progressives don’t understand why democrats won in 2018.

Say that to Kara Eastman, who got triaged and almost won.

Sherrod Brown already ran and failed like Tim Ryan

Bob Casey Jr would do well, he would take away PA, the country has moved passed a pro life Dem. Casey wanted to run but Rendell squashed it.in favor of Biden

Tester has a hand problem, just like with Beto speech problem, disabled Prez, arent favorably looked upon, he wants to challenge Schumer, should Dems net majority in Senate

Kara Eastman should have won and performed badly against other democrats that were more moderate. Kendra Horn won in Oklahoma. Democrats won in Kansas, Utah, South Carolina, red districts in Virginia, Michigan and the swing in Nebraska wasn’t much so she under performed because she was to left wing. Justice democrats will never accept that they have loud support but can’t get the most votes.

I’m not a democrat but I did vote democrat for the first time in 2018 and I’ll vote for Slotkin in 2020 but the Bernie sanders wing is terrifying. What really annoys me is that even in the uk healthcare is not free or is college yet the progressives making money online like Kyle kulinksi, young Turks promote lies that aren’t true.

I know, I'll get hammered on this, but anyway:

New York Governor Andrew Cuomo. He would be a very formidable candidate, especially for the general election. He has a ton of experience as chief executive and political operator and is a quite strong debater. He would completely destroy Donald Trump on a debate stage. Cuomo has a very strong record as governor: Among the first to legalize same-sex marriage, raised the minimum wage, eight budgets on time (never done before since Nelson Rockefeller), enacted bold gun control laws, passed a paid family leave program, a tuition costs reform (that Bernie Sanders supported and was present when signed into law) and promoted a number of measures for women. Some of his accomplishments were passed through a Republican state senate during his first two terms. And before anyone says it, yes he's not done enough on some issues and yes, he made some mistakes like everyone in such a position is doing. If he ran, or does in the future, he could be running as the experienced pragmatic center-leftist, who can get stuff done.

Out of all the people who never ran, Tammy Baldwin. Out of all of the candidates who ran but dropped out, Sherrod Brown.

Brown did not succeed in his hunger games quest for D nomination as his name.is false advertising: audible gasps were heard by voters galore when Brown was revealed to not be brown at all but white. Ohio Browns strategy of Promising voters return to bygone era of manufacturing plants producing Spacely sprockets was Browns ace of spades for the win but sadly his house of cards collapsed like park bench holding Rosie o donnells giant ass and he was forced to drop out in favor of Secular fraud Biden who's corruption is okay as he has D next to name

Yet again, I'll echo everyone else and say Sherrod Brown. He is doing the right thing by super-gluing his ass to his Senate seat though. It's worth almost as much as the presidency. I suppose that the two Senators named Tammy wouldn't be bad either.

I would love it if Russ Feingold ran too, even in spite of losing his last election. If he had somehow been elected Senator simultaneously while Trump became President, he would possibly be an even more ideal candidate than he already is for me.

There are also those who have very recently gotten elected who, for that reason alone, probably aren't running but could have a bright future within the party like Michelle Lujan Grisham, Gretchen Whitmer, or others like them.
