We need a strong leader at the DNC

This may sound crazy, but the best person would be Barack Obama. He likely wouldn’t accept it, but if he did, we’d have someone to lead the “loyal” opposition. My second choice would be Nancy Pelosi. Since we likely wouldn’t hold the White House, the Senate, the House or the SCOTUS, we need a leader in the worst way.

as I recall. He got that right. We really can't know how decisions are made there about campaigns and policy. I doubt a former president would make a very good choice for DNC head. It's way below his pay grade so to speak, and he would carry too much authority. Everyone would defer to him. One of the older members of the House is not a very good choice either.

Things are about to get very nasty for any trump opposition figure, I fear.

Obama can't, and Pelosi will be 88 in 2028. So, I'd say that person is Gavin.
