President Jerry Brown? Don't rule it out

Gov. Jerry Brown went to Concord on Thursday to promote a plan to fix the state’s roads and highways, acknowledging that the $52 billion plan may be a “heavy lift” for some motorists but promising he’s motivated only by a desire to improve transportation.

“I don’t think I’m running for office,” he quipped during a news conference as he stood on an unused Concord road flanked by by a sea of orange-vest-clad construction workers and more formally dressed politicians, including state Senate President pro Tem Kevin de León, D-Los Angeles and Assembly Speaker Anthony Rendon, D-Paramount (Los Angeles County).

“I only have lieutenant governor, treasurer and controller left,” Brown said.

Someone in the crowed shouted out: “President.”

“But I’d be 82 then,” he said, pausing. “Don’t rule it out.”

But not likely I suppose, but who knows.

I dont think we are gonna survive as a democracy in tact for another presidential election, surely not one that wont be controlled by Putin.
