He says, and I quote, "Please see my statement below regarding 2020." The thing is, there is no statement below, its above. You guys want this idiot representing you as the president?
My immediate reaction to reading his statement: But then after reflection, this feels like when a 7 or 8 year old pretends not to want something to trick their friend into letting them have it. He wants people to tell him, "No! You should run." And it's a big country, probably someone will.
Decal Patrick has said he will not run in 2020 due to the ‘cruelty’ of the process. I do think he was going to be able to get momentum for the nomination anyway. But, I think he is legit one of the good guys. I listened to his Axe Files podcast and became fairly convinced he wouldn’t run. I think his family needs him closer to home and he really enjoys this social investing group he is running at Baine.
Former Obama housing chief Julian Castro says he's taking a step toward a possible White House campaign in 2020 by forming a presidential exploratory committee. The Texas Democrat tells The Associated Press that he will announce a decision Jan. 12. https://www.yahoo.com/news/apnewsbr...ard-2020-white-house-153648515--election.html
IP should be able to fill in on the governor of Colorado. I also like Jay Inslee of Washington. They both are better than the usual suspects, Warren, Biden, Booker, Gillenbrand, etc.
Some saying the DNC might be looking at a brokered convention. I take it with a grain of salt, but right now there's no shoo-in. Still think that makes Hillary all the more possible.
Get ready for an overdose of healthcare focus after the conservative activist judge's overreach in striking down a law after it has already been upheld by the SCOTUS. Twice. And it's a pure winner. It will actually give more steam to a Medicare for all program. And that's the glorious part of the judge's overreach. If I were a member of the House, I'd pass bills, daily, reinstating/strengthening/expanding healthcare coverage for Americans. I'd make the Senate show their true colors forcing them to vote every one of them down. If you thought the Republican effort to kill Obamacare was a bit of futile redundancy in 2013-2016, you'd think you were stuck in a repeating time loop in the space/time continuum with all the healthcare bills I pushed through the House. Turns out, people actually like being able to get health insurance. They like no lifetime caps. They like equal pricing for women. They like coverage for pre-existing conditions. They might say they hate Obamacare, but they sure do love the ACA.
I am not a big Hickenlooper fan. He's susceptible to being paid off by corporate interests. He isn't strong enough on climate change. He's a 90's democrat, and we need a new thing.
Just pick someone who can generate real excitement and who most of the country doesn’t already hate. This should be easy, but they’ll make it look hard.
And for all that is Holy, don't run "I am not Trump". Run for something, not against Trump. You would win in a landslide.
