51. Yeah, there's a knee-jerk "So-and-So for President" contingent here.

You see it every time somebody does or says something big or bold, even if they're not eligible to be President, or doesn't share a bunch of other Democratic ideals. Former GOPer Ana Navarro comes to mind with the latter. I saw calls for "Ana for President" when she started bashing Trump, in spite of the fact that, like the Lincoln Project, Joe Walsh, Joe Scar and others of her ilk, she contributed to the climate that gave us Trump. I don't think much of it is serious, but it's pretty much inevitable.
