(23,911 posts)But I hate to inform you that the DNC didnt spend $millions on consultants to learn how to listen to men to turn around and nominate a woman again in 2028.
The good news is, by 2036 that calcified, entrenched system should be gone, clearing the path for Senator Ocasio-Cortez to win the Nomination.

(23,911 posts)Im not that excited about anyone else mentioned in the current polling (AOC isnt going to run)
Of those not mentioned in the polls, Chris Murphy has piqued my interest.
How about you?

(15,463 posts)first win, after GWB lied the country into Iraq and had the biggest finacial collapse since the Great Depression our countrymen and woman saw fit to give the GOP the biggest midterm blowout win in modern history because the dems tried to start to fix our Healthcare system.
A repeated pattern where Rs leave the country a hot mess and stir up some kind of bullshit the country guzzles down like an oreo milkshake to take power yet again.

(54,279 posts)Gabby Giffords would be First Lady, and we know what her work would probably center around. We have so many good candidates, by the time they get going it will probably take some time to get down to the best few.

(3,974 posts)Put it this way, the "Year 2000" version of Al Gore was fairly dripping with charisma in comparison to Mark Kelly.
Kelly is an amazing man and I'm WAY happy he's my senator. But friends, he is a *boring* orator. He's Cabinet material though to be sure, I'd love to see him there, but he will never win POTUS. It's an absolute shame, too, because I think he'd BE great at it.

My personal note ... lots of good people out there, it'll be hard to choose but it's time to start looking at good candidates now, besides reading about the loser in the WH today, I do get tired of reading about his crap of the day.
How Cara Spencer won the mayors raceand what comes next...
...
On Tuesday, Cara Spencer was elected mayor of the city of St. Louis in an avalanche, winning nearly two-thirds of the vote. Spencers victory was expected, but the margin surprised many and means shell assume office as mayor on Tuesday with a clear mandate.
...
What comes first for Spencer?
Spencer is known for preferring to handle things herselfwhether its managing her own media relations or installing her own stop sign. A booster will tell you shes not afraid to be in the trenches. A detractor will tell you she micromanages. One close observer of city politics cautions, City government is too big to micromanage. The staff that Cara surrounds herself with will be absolutely key. Priority number one must be to put staff in place that she can trust will do a good job, then let them

Klobuchar has a longer legislative record, and her depth and breadth of experience is valuable. IMO she is excellent in public interviews. She gives well-informed and well formed answers to interviewers questions. I read her book Anitrust. It is a bit redundant, but explains the issue clearly.
Spanberger is also well spoken. Answers questions clearly, and concisely. Worked at CIA, which may help facing the disaster emerging under Trump.
I supported and voted for Harris, but I dont think she is a good extemporaneous speaker, and we need someone who is.
