He is terrific on so many levels. Better for him to stay in the Senate.

Could this mean Biden is getting in. And Brown will be his VP?

I am happy and sad. Sad that he’s not running because I think he would be great. However, I’m also happy because we don’t have to worry about losing that Senate Seat.

Outstanding man and a valuable resource.

I hope not. The biggest problem with Sherrod Brown running is that the Governor of Ohio is a conservative Republican and will appoint Brown’s replacement. We NEED a Democratic Senate and we don’t need to simply give a current Democratic seat to a Republican. If we had a Democratic Governor in Ohio, I would have been behind Brown, but I can’t root for anything that takes us down a Democrat in the Senate.

Harry Truman isn’t running either.

More power to him. More Presidents in the modern era should have paused and first considered whether they really, really wanted the job, because it looks terrible.

(cough, cough)

The only two choices discussed in this article are Biden and Sanders? Really?

Brown was in my top 3. If he’s out, it should mean that Beto and Biden get in. I think Brown got squeezed by Harris and A-Klo and then also by Biden. Bloomberg also bowed out because of Biden.

Exactly. Brown won’t be anyone’s VP.

Eh, enough with the white men, I say.

That’s a shame. He could have actually won. On the other hand, we need to keep his Senate seat Democratic.

A number of Republicans had privately told TPM that Brown was the candidate they most feared facing as a nominee.

A number of Republican’ts were also shamelessly trolling you, TPM…

Racist and sexist in one swipe. Efficient.
