89. After the bombast of Drumpf, a Sherrod Brown persona might BE a "rock star"
Sun Feb 10, 2019, 12:02 PM
Feb 2019

Someone who makes people feel more comfortable and secure. Someone they feel isn't bullshitting them like that guy they are so tired of.

I don't know. Just think when people are sick and tired of a style that has proven to be a cover for lies and fraud, they might welcome the exact opposite. Like a breath of fresh air.

He's my favorite so far. lkinwi Feb 2019 #1

I respect how professionally Yates was in leaving her post. irisblue Feb 2019 #54
Would not want Harris or Warren as VP. They are more valuable as senators. Sneederbunk Feb 2019 #13
Actually Harris and Warren about both guaranteed to be replaced with Democratic Senators Fresh_Start Feb 2019 #15
Brown's seat would almost certainly flip to red Dopers_Greed Feb 2019 #22
There are lots of excellent Dems waiting in the wings in CA shanti Feb 2019 #23
If you want Brown as Pres, or even VP, you better get lots more Senators elected from other states TeamPooka Feb 2019 #11
Right ibegurpard Feb 2019 #14
The fairly recent new state Dem leader-David Pepper is building a bench. irisblue Feb 2019 #19

Can we afford to lose that senate seat? quakerboy Feb 2019 #40
Ohio is NOT a resign to run state. Sen Brown is not legally required to give up his seat. irisblue Feb 2019 #57
Good to know. Thanks. (nt) klook Feb 2019 #71
Still we would need to find a replacement win to get & keep the Senate in 2020. MH1 Feb 2019 #81
So we will lose this seat if Brown is the nominee and wins Gothmog Feb 2019 #115
The current Ohio gov is the man Brown took the seat from in 06. irisblue Feb 2019 #116
So we would lose the seat quakerboy Feb 2019 #117
