74. We have a great bench, these are my current picks

Fri Nov 8, 2024, 02:44 PM

Nov 2024

Gavin Newsom
John Fetterman
Wes Moore
Andy Beshear
Ben Ray Lujan
Ruben Gallego
Alex Padilla
J.B. Spritzer
Josh Shapiro

Unfortunately, we'll have to go with a white or Latino or Black male for now.

These women are more than qualified for being at the top of the ticket and if circumstances change they should be considered at the very least for VP

Gretchen Whitmer
Laura Kelly
Amy Klobuchar
Catherine Cortez Masto
Jasmine Crocket
AOC

To be frank they all have their drawbacks and may only wind up being VP picks, but based on past experiences the nominee will be a relative unknown like Bill Clinton or Obama that we can't conceive as running. Who knows maybe it can wind up being HI governor Josh Green for all we know. He'll, let's consider Joe Kennedy III while we're at it!

Russian style elections Walleye Nov 2024 #76

Yep, they still have elections in Russia - that'll be the model rurallib Nov 2024 #78

After Trump won, I kept thinking "do not congratulate" Walleye Nov 2024 #80

No we won't. I am in my 40s and I don't think we'll see one in my lifetime. Initech Nov 2024 #44

I agree at this point, and we need to give this a rest for a couple of election oldmanlynn Nov 2024 #49

The first thing my brother said MFM008 Nov 2024 #60

I think the first woman president will be a Republican exboyfil Nov 2024 #88

True, but he's 79. Algernon Moncrieff Nov 2024 #91

Wish I could be so optimistic Freddie Nov 2024 #2

The 2028 Dem nominee will be a straight, white, centrist male Fiendish Thingy Nov 2024 #3

Al Franken ScratchCat Nov 2024 #13

Love Al Franken. I saw him on Bill Maher a few weeks ago, he's lost a step or two. But, he's still Al Silent Type Nov 2024 #35

I love Al but he's a little old Jk23 Nov 2024 #55

He'd be 77. I know trump is 78. But will Al really want to? jimfields33 Nov 2024 #56

But he'd probably be running against Vance Polybius Nov 2024 #87

Does not have to be centrist PhilosopherKing Nov 2024 #16

Eric Swalwell. CrispyQ Nov 2024 #86

Well said FT and I agree totally.... democratsruletheday Nov 2024 #26

Andy Beshear Meadowoak Nov 2024 #29

I think Andy will be a strong candidate Buckeyeblue Nov 2024 #51

Beshear or Newsom are the likely front runners Fiendish Thingy Nov 2024 #65

Newsom will have the same liberal stereotypes to fight that Harris had Rstrstx Nov 2024 #83

I love Wes Moore. A real likable guy. I don't know a lot about him, tho. CTyankee Nov 2024 #82

Agree...as much as we would like to see a FE POTUS. We must pick a winning ticket..if it be straight white PortTack Nov 2024 #105

Harris won't be the nominee. Obama has no interest. Gore1FL Nov 2024 #4

A socialist from the Bronx should lose comradebillyboy Nov 2024 #33

A socialist *woman* from the Bronx will lose all 50. Ocelot II Nov 2024 #39

We've tried twice and failed. Sorry but America isn't ready. Meadowoak Nov 2024 #99

Say hello to 8 years of Vance in that case. BannonsLiver Nov 2024 #9

I think at most 6 years of Vance Darwins_Retriever Nov 2024 #32

You may be right. BannonsLiver Nov 2024 #48

Or 40. Meadowoak Nov 2024 #46

Did you mean Stacey Abrams? Polybius Nov 2024 #10

No women. We've been burned twice. Meadowoak Nov 2024 #47

Pete Butigegg....nt global1 Nov 2024 #11

NO way to Pete... democratsruletheday Nov 2024 #28

I love Pete, but the right would attack the shit out of him. Meadowoak Nov 2024 #50

Apparently the only woman that might be elected would be a Republican BluenFLA Nov 2024 #14

Just forget about having a woman president, it's just never going to happen Meadowoak Nov 2024 #54

She would have to be a Stepford wife. Jit423 Nov 2024 #71

I question if we'll even have a presidential election Emile Nov 2024 #18

Abrams and Harris are done as national political figures. Michelle Obama has no interest. tritsofme Nov 2024 #19

She's our first trangendered newdayneeded Nov 2024 #20

I looked her up, she won a seat in the House not the Senate. tritsofme Nov 2024 #23

I honestly don't blame her one bit. Initech Nov 2024 #59

Exactly what I was going to say. ellemb Nov 2024 #64

She's someone who can lose all 50 states. comradebillyboy Nov 2024 #66

It will be J. B. Pritzker obamanut2012 Nov 2024 #21

I love Walz but in retrospect Pritzker might have been a better VP pick Algernon Moncrieff Nov 2024 #92

Harris is finished nationally, which is so sad obamanut2012 Nov 2024 #22

Unfortunately we would lose again. The USA just is not ready yet for a woman at the top of the ticket. And if a woman beaglelover Nov 2024 #73
