2016: Who would you like to see running for the Dem Presidential nomination and why!

[TheDebbieDee]

I wouldn't mind seeing Cong. Marcy Kaptur, Dem Rep, Ohio

I have been watching Cong. Kaptur for several years now. She is a progressive and forceful speaker, much like Gov./Dr. Howard Dean and she does not back down from any debate.

She could be the Democratic version of a mature Sarah Palin, except that Cong. Kaptur speaks English.

1. Eliz Warren, Sen. Gillibrand, A.G. Schneiderman, Beau Biden . . . .

[TheWraith]

7. Gillibrand!

Usually these threads attract a lot of silly and impossible suggestions, but Gillibrand has striking potential.

[elleng]

9. Haven't followed her as much as I should; will do so.

[TheWraith]

18. She is awesome. nt

[adigal]

16. In NY, she was horribly anti-immigrant, says whatever she needs to say

to get elected. I dislike her for her dishonesty.

[TheWraith]

17. Oh please, not that weak and debunked shit again.

Nobody has ever been able to back up that bullshit claim.

[Mz Pip]

2. Elizabeth Warren

I think she'd be terrific

[MiniMe]

3. Too early to say

[HopeHoops]

4. Al Franken

[2ndAmForComputers]

6. No. Here's why:

He can go pound sand.

5. Feingold NT

[FarLeftFist]

12. +1

[marmar]

8. Brooksley Born.

If they'd only listened to her in the first place........

[Po_d Mainiac]

15. Instead we got

Greenscum, Fat Summers and Robber Rubin

[BrentWil]

10. Hillary Clinton...

Done a good job at state.

[stevenleser]

22. She made it clear she is done with politics.

She doesnt even want to be SecState anymore.

[emilyg]

23. Yes.

[Firebrand Gary]

11. Four come to mind.

Martin O'Malley
Elizabeth Warren
Andrew Cuomo
Kay Hagan

[Liberal_Stalwart71]

13. Trying to get through 2012 first. ;)

[shraby]

14. Senator Whitehouse. Got the creds.

[ProudToBeBlueInRhody]

19. Andrew Cuomo is the most electable

I'm not his biggest fan, but I think if winning is the goal, it's him.

[Shankapotomus]

21. I don't like that he is allowing

fracking in NY. That's a huge deal breaker for me. He should not let it happen.

[Yupster]

24. good pick

I think he'd be a good choice for a big win.

Normally a tough race to hold the White House after an eight year presidency.

[Shankapotomus]

20. Why would we want a version of

Sarah Palin of any intellectual capacity?

I'm sure you didn't mean to insult Kaptur by positing her as a democrat Palin. We can do much better than Palin.

Let's move on and never speak of this again.

Who would I like to see run in 2016? Maybe Biden/Grayson.
