The First Democratc Candidate has entered the Race. Who will be the next & who should s/he/they be? [View all]

I have a list of great Democrats I would love to see run for the White House.



1) My all time DREAM candidate would be Barbara Lee.

She is a woman who has demonstrated incredible courage at times when our country most needed it.

For her courage she was threatened, called names, traitor, hater, death threats etc

Barbara Lee Congressional Profile in Courage

Threats did not stop Congresswoman Lee. She voted against the AMUF in Iraq. She voted against the so-called Patriot Act and against its re-autorization, against allowing FISA wiretaps without warrants, against warrantless electronic surveillance, and she introduced legislation to repeal the MCA.

Next up, Russ Feingold:



Another dream candidate but nothing is impossible, Russ Feingold who has been proven right about so many issues during the Bush era. He has said he will run for the Senate in 2016. Why not the WH? OR, as VP to Barbara Lee.

Then there is Sherrod Brown:

?
Brown speaks with Warren during a Senate Banking Committee hearing on Jan. 27. He is the ranking Democrat on the committee.


Sherrod Brown Why Aren't Progressives Begging him to for President

He’s an unabashed progressive with just enough blue-collar appeal to win a swing state such as Ohio.

He’s the highest-ranking Democrat on the Senate Banking Committee, with a megaphone to go after Wall Street and four decades of public service under his belt.

And need I say more, Elizabeth Warren:



And of course, someone who has said he will consider it. Bernie Sanders. Please DO:



These are a few of the Democratic Candidates who would make great Presidents, (Bernie hasn't decided yet and won't be a spoiler)

I will add more in the comment section when I have more time.

We have some Democrats who are more than qualified to lead this country away from the disastrous Republican policies that have so hurt the Middle Class.

And that is WHY I am a Democrat. THEY have no one!

Feel free to add your own dream candidates.
