Why not this person for POTUS in 2016?

[cloudywing]

Mark Dayton, governor of Minnesota?

Thoughts?

[PoliticAverse]

1. Who? n/t

[AtomicKitten]

2. No clue who that is. /nt

[KansDem]

3. Mark Dayton, on the issues...

4. He has been an excellent governor here in MN.

But he's not much of a public speaker and is a nerdy policy-wonk type. And I don't think he has the slightest interest in the presidency.

[glinda]

6. He does not.

[glinda]

5. No. Mark would not want to be President.

He would not run. I asked him years ago about it and no way does he want that job.
I have respect for him. Deep respect. But it also jeopardizes him also as he will be raked over the coals.
No. For his sake.

7. A poor public speaker who would struggle under

the bright lights and vicious scrutiny of the MSM. He gets that raising taxes on the wealthy has to happen. The powers behind the lobbying curtain don't agree.

10. Love him as our govenor, he'd die under the national limelight......

I agree he's a terrible public speaker, but he's a d*mn great govenor.

[TheCowsCameHome]

9. Two questions:

1. Who is Mark Dayton?

2. What is a Minnesota?

[a kennedy]

11. You are just naughty....

[freshwest]

12. 1. Governor of the state of MN. 2. A small soda. Or... 3. A refuge for lost Scadinavians:

13. He doesn't want to run?

And yYou're not making an effort to change his mind?

Listen, I have no objection to more candidates, but it's pretty late in the game to decide to get in.

[HereSince1628]

16. Late? Not for filing. It might be late within 'accepted wisdom'

which now suggests candidates have to do that thing where they go on a years long extensive pilgrimage crawling from one sacred house of alms to another.

and that the prospective candidate must continue on this humiliating soul wrenching trek until they get big enough promises of money to attract nasty operatives political consultants who will advise them, appear on shows to be a preferably bald yelling head and profitably expertly guide their sugardaddy clients political champion's development of empty campaign promises position statements.

14. ask him why he isn't running
