General Wesley Clark for 2020. [View all]

Yes yes, I know it's early, and focus does need to be on changing the house (and hopefully even if a long-shot the Senate) right now. I am most certainly up and involved with that as well.

However, I'm trying to kick off a Draft Wes Clark for president campaign. Hopefully if we can get a grass-roots swelling going, he'll consider the run again. There's potential candidates already being discussed, but honestly I can't think of a single Democratic Party leadership person that could so handily and hands down smash any Trump/Pence or any other Republican running than this man. They wouldn't stand a chance!

I've contacted the general at his Facebook page to let him know:

I've also created a Draft Wes Clark page:
