A young punk 9 years her junior > a younger punk 31 years her junior?
Weāve seen Joe campaign before. Much love, Joe, but you are not good at running for president.
āJoe was chairman of the Judiciary [Committee] when he came to this place,"

Be heartened fellow TPMers! Itās only 670 days of infighting until the next Presidential election!
Letās just figure out who has the best chance of beating Q-Tip, and go from thereā¦
Kamala Harris is my current choice for 2020 out of the people who seem to be thinking of it, would be Al Franken but alas.
How 'bout the āfuture of the partyā be about people under the age of 80?
What about Biden/Harris with Joe signaling he would bow out on a second term?
Biden? Please say it aināt so.
Sorry but no re-runs.
Dems donāt elect re-runs.
Like it or not Fresh faces (fresh to running for president especially) are who makes it.
I think Joe already should know this.
Donāt have a favorite yet, but let it be a person of intellect, experience and good humor with no skeletons. No messiahs!
Thatās where i stand. I watched Warren on Rachel Maddow show last night and Iām a little bit more interested, i still want someone new (not Biden, Warren or Sanders) . I have some candidates that iām leaning towards (Beto, Harris, Booker, Brown, Klobucher, Castro) but, i need to know more about them and their platforms before making a decision.
Personally I feel remiss in not knowing more about Sherrod Brown. The way people talk about him suggests I should. Sure do like a lot of the options, though. Some posters have mentioned Sheldon Whitehouse, although Iām not aware heās interested himself.
Itās waaay too early to start making any definitive choices about who to support for Pres next year. Today it might be Biden simply because no one else is campaigning. Iām sure Feinstein has her reasons for supporting Joe right now, but once Harris starts in earnest, though, donāt count her out. That goes for Brown, Whitehouse, Warren, Booker, and on down the long list of potential candidates, as well. I like Beto, but i also like every other Dem candidate thatās been mentioned so far (with the exception of Bloomberg). Like i said, itās too early to call anyone over anyone else. Let them prove themselves worthy of our vote. Nov. 2020 is a long ways away.
Thatās exactly where I am. I need to know more about them, get a look at their media savvy, see them on the stump, and how they perform in a debate. Thereās really only one person threatening to run whom Iām dead set against. Iāve got my favorites, but Iām fully open to others surprising me. Someone Iām kinda cool on today could easily change my opinion in the coming months and vice versa.
I beg to differ. If heās the nominee, he will be President. The Democratic base will decide.
Sherrod Brown is a great candidate, IMO. Heās from Ohio (always critical, as you know), has been a huge proponent of bettering the working class and unions - sort of Bernie-esque but younger and less in-your-face. I think heās beloved by many of his constituents. Heās quiet-ish though, and who knows if his style can cut through the noise (looking at you, Cory Booker).
If Biden is the nominee, expect very ālow energyā from young people, whether deserved or not - even if heās got Harris or someone like that as veep.
I just ran through his Wiki pageāyou seem to have him pegged pretty well. Seems like a difficult divorce situation and you just know Trump would be a huge jerk about that in his blind-to-irony way. But letās put him down as one guy in a good, deep bench. As Plucky and others say, itās waaaay too early to be anything but open-minded on this. The main thing is weāre getting the really good, talented people on our side. You have to love that.
See I think the ideal would be paring someone like him or Warren with economic justice chops with someone with comparable credentials in the social justice sphere, with whoever has the best crowd appeal taking the head of the ticket and the other providing backup. Hopefully we can also get a bit of a mix diversity wise as well in terms of age, race, and/or gender. But like others have said Iāll need to get more familiar with some of the candidates.
