Is there anybody you wish had run this cycle that didn't?

Just coming up with a few names off the top of my head, mostly from current governors because I'm generally always in favor of nominating a governor.

1. Michelle Obama...nt

nt

[hlthe2b]

5. Yes. Understandable & good for her that she's not running, but bad for us.

[Quixote1818]

24. Yes nt

[LisaM]

34. No.

She doesn't have any elected office experience. If she wants to run for office, she should start with Congress or Senate.

[Kurt V.]

2. sherrod brown

[Runningdawg]

3. Somebody else - Katie Porter She can tell you to go to hell and make you look forward to the trip.

[Mike 03]

4. Sherrod Brown

[squirecam]

6. Excluding Michelle and Sherrod from this poll

Is not a crime. But it should be.

[Recursion]

10. I get that, but I am specifically calling attention to our younger governors

That's generally the bench you run on the White House from.

[True Blue American]

32. :)

Agree!

[hlthe2b]

7. Oprah!

As should be obvious, I am just kidding!

[scheming daemons]

8. Oprah

Or Michelle



Either would win in an historic landslide of epic proportions.

[Recursion]

12. Oprah could absolutely be President for life if she wanted to (nt)

[ibegurpard]

9. For President?

Hard to think of anyone who has the national exposure already. As for Sherrod Brown, who some people have picked, I would absolutely be excited about someone like him and I think he may have been the best potential out there but that's a senate seat we cannot afford to give up in a state trending away from us.

[empedocles]

11. A younger Biden

[OnlinePoker]

13. Al Franken

He would make a damned fine president and I really hope he runs for the senate again.

[2naSalit]

36. +1

On the list offered in the poll has only one name I readily recognize and only because he's my Senator.

[ancianita]

14. Adam Schiff

[RobertDevereaux]

15. Seconding Al Franken

[jalan48]

16. Tammy Duckworth

[Sucha NastyWoman]

17. Adam Schiff

Except that he was busy doing some very important work.

[Kentonio]

18. Nope. I think the 734 candidates we had were probably enough.

[happybird]

27. +1

[hamsterjill]

19. Hillary

Yes, I know that's an unpopular response, but I'm still pissed that she was cheated. I don't forgive easily.

That said know that I will vote blue no matter who.

[dhill926]

20. Sherrod Brown...

[thesquanderer]

21. Maybe Russ Feingold. (n/t)

[Recursion]

25. We need somebody who can win Wisconsin

And he did even worse statewide than HRC did in 2016

[MoonRiver]

22. Sherrod Brown eom

[MoonlitKnight]

23. Nope

Been wanting Warren since 2015.

[Squinch]

26. Tammy Duckworth

[mr_lebowski]

28. Gore/Clinton would've been great by me ... Franken too ...

And that Kennedy kid with the red hair ... Joseph is it?

Stacy Abrams, too.

[nevergiveup]

29. That is easy.... Sherrod Brown.

He would not only likely have destroyed Trump but would have also had coattails for the purple state senate races.

[choie]

30. Sheldon Whitehouse

Or Sherrow Brown or Al Franken

[lynintenn]

31. I wish Beto had run in Texas

[pnwest]

33. Al Franken

[MadLinguist]

[William769]

38. Hillary. nt

[DavidDvorkin]

39. Martin O'Malley.

[SKKY]

40. Gavin Newsome would have been formidable..

...I think.
