Congratulations to our presumptive Democratic nominee, Joe Biden!
Democratic Primaries
In reply to the discussion: Official Why I like Sherrod Brown thread. [View all]Qutzupalotl
(14,289 posts)13. I like his voice.
I hope thats not too shallow. Its gravelly and makes you sit up and take notice. It makes him sound tough. Thats a quality lacking in some other potential candidates I wont name; they use tough words but in the wrong voice it doesnt sound convincing it comes across as weakness. Not to me, but to what I imagine the other side is seeing.
Thats a roundabout way of saying I think Brown has great crossover appeal and could get moderate Republican votes, dooming Trump if thats who were still running against. So Brown is definitely on my short list. The drawback as noted above is wed lose a Senate seat in a year in which every seat counts.
If I were to vote in a presidential

I thought we were supposed to post in candidate forums only if we belonged to that forum.

I didn't see any forums for specific 2020 candidates, so I think it all goes here for now.

This is just a post within the Primaries Forum - not a whole forum about such and such person.

You mean candidate supporter groups. Those haven't been created yet for 2020 candidates.
