Barack Obama

If we're talking about Bernie, I'd say he's too old and too left to get elected. People here are always clamoring for a "real progressive" to run, but it doesn't mean a damn thing even if they did get elected. The way the population is, a president invariably moves to the right. And in there lies the problem. Get the people to advocate for progressive legislation BEFORE we start clamoring for a progressive president. Honestly, I feel like a ton of people here assume that the country is a whole is more liberal than it actually is.

As for Grayson. I really do appreciate the job he's doing, and would love to see him move up to a position of authority. But his talk about "guts" doesn't mean a damn thing if the electorate you're working with is literally uninterested in doing it's job.
