As-yet-unknown (D) for President, 2016 [View all]

Sometime by mid 2015, there will be a half dozen or so people running for the Democratic nomination for President.

I will pick one to support. If and when that person's candidacy reaches a point where they can't win, I will switch my support to my next best choice... and so on.

Then in November of '16 I will vote for, and work my ass off for, the last D standing, whoever that is....

Because the paramount goal is keeping 1600 Penn out of GOP hands... no matter what.

Lose the White House and we lose everything... judgeships, appointments, treaties, military actions, regulators, DOJ .. everything..... is better with any D sitting in the oval office instead of any R.

The most moderate R is still worse than the worst D because of the people that would surround him or her.

So... you can all promote your fantasy candidates all you want, and that includes Hillary and her supposed inevitability ... which I don't buy.

But nobody has declared ... and until I see who wants the job, it seems pretty stupid to speculate.

When your agenda is to keep the R out of power, this shit is very straight forward and easy.

Democrat for President, 2016. Whoever she or he may be.
