Casting the Ideal Challenger to Hillary Clinton

[Armstead]

13. For once I almost agree with you

I agree that much of it boils down to personality and "image." And unless someone comes along with both an appealing image and a fresh message, we're probably going to go for yet another ride on the DLC Express.

For example, in the issues, I think Sherrod Brown would be a great candidate. He is a clear liberal who looks out for the working class and is a fighter but also has a sensibility that could appel to moderates as well as progressives.....and he comes from Ohio.

But unfortunately he's "charisma challenged." So it aint gonna happen with him.

But then again if we're talking about Jeb on the other side, he too is charisma challenged, so maybe personality will ultimately be less important.

I just wish tat at some point as a party and a nation, we'd actually take a step back, look at the direction the country is going and decide that the most important thing we need is someone who is serious about reform and a course correction away from the New Gilded Age we are headed towards.
