and would make this former Bernie guy happy. He's young enough to take over after Clinton. He's charismatic and more importantly, articulate. He will be on Bill Maher tonight after the Trumpfest.

What we need is another articulate spokesperson for progressive values who can excite the base. Warren would help heal any lingering rift, but the same could be said for people like Gavin Newsom and Sherrod Brown. I'm much less enthused for Vilsack or Kaine.

Fingers crossed...
