I don't understand the hangup on the abortion issue, it's like gun control, it's never going to change. |

What about that little sack of shit, Zuckerberg? He should be ripe to run within the next few cycles. |

They need to pull a moderate out of their ass or watch as a person who went hard left gets picked apart by Trump, or whomever. Note that uncle Biden has been doing some less than nuanced walkbacks on the wage gap and other blatantly dishonest leftist hivemind garbage that he was spewing during the election. Trumps evisceration of anyone other than a genuine moderate liberal will make what he did to Jeb look tame. The Democrats lost me but I will never vote for Trump no matter how far this country goes down the PC rabbit hole. So I guess it could conceivably do the protest vote or not vote, which I never thought would happen. I dont know how I could vote for a liar again, though. Or maybe we will all be dead by then. |

I don't think anyone expects her to capriciously issue executive orders declaring that women can have unlimited paid days off to eat chocolate frosting right out of the container.

It's gonna be a weirdo celebrity again, not a politician. |

Trump beat a genuine moderate liberal in the last election precisely because he was able to run to the left of where she had historically been on economic issues and most people who would be sympathetic to what she was campaigning on didn't believe her anyway. |

Harris is the early favorite at some off-shore books to win the Dem's nod. I like Libby Schaaf, who might be blocked from doing an Obama and jumping from a local/state level politico to a more national office (US Sentate) and then 1600 Pennsylvania since 85 year old Diane Feinstein is apparently signaling that she's running for reelection next year. She'd be 92 at the end of her term. Tho Obama's relatively slender pre-POTUS CV (in terms of national politics) and Trump's complete political neophyte status suggests voters aren't overly concerned about such things. I doubt both Harris and Schaaf run. Either one or the other. And it looks like Harris at this point. Schaaf's pretty cool tho. Told Truimp off after he dissed Oakland as the most dangerous place in America ["Most dangerous place in America is Donald Trump's mouth"] and told the Raiders owners that while she would love them to stay in Oakland and would provide what support her office could, she wouldn't authorize a single taxpayer dime for a new pro sports stadium. Oakland's still paying the $90 million tab from rehabbing the Coliseum to lure the Raiders back from LA 20+ years ago. http://www.sfchronicle.com/politics/art ... 037475.php |

Is Trump even the favorite to be the Republican standard bearer in 2020? I would think President Pence would be the odds-on favorite, unless he Gerald Ford's himself and pardons Trump and his family/friends. |

Trump is 71 years old, under a great deal of stress, seems to subsist on McDoubles, and believes exercise makes you die sooner. Like he'll live to run again. |

I think it might be a unique opportunity for Al Franken to run. He's got both the TV appeal, and the years of government experience, and he is just 66 years old, so age shouldn't be an issue. He's a great public speaker, and if he wanted to run, I think he would have a legit shot. |

The right answer is whomever Obama would enthusiastically endorse. Especially against a rematch with Trump. |
