Harris/O’Rourke is my dream ticket. I do not see Warren going very far in the primary.

Julian Castro is interesting, but I also don’t see him going far in the primary. I am a big fan of the Castro brothers, but I don’t like Julian for POTUS.

I feel like we should at some point discuss who would you NOT vote for over 45. It would be interesting. Michael Avenatti

WA Governor Jay Inslee (D) has decided to run. His platform is focused on climate change. I give him credit for trying to elevate the topic.

I don't think she'll win, but I want Warren to stay in the race as long as possible. I think she will force other candidates left. It's cliche at this point, but I'm really curious to see what Mayor Pete does. There's talk about him running for Governor, which is... worrisome. Holcomb has been relatively non offensive compared to his predecessor (ha) and is pretty popular around here. Even I have been pleased with several things he's done. I'm genuinely excited about Beto and he's my personal front runner at the moment. My hope is that, with Warren in the race to pull it left, Bernie won't feel the need to run.

This is going to be the biggest challenge of this cycle. Both potus constant attacks and media coverage/reaction. And there is no playbook for it. How do you stay on message amid constant attacks from the child in charge?

misspattyI would LOVE Mayor Pete to win the Indiana Governor race. I’m just worried our state is too red to let that happen. But if anyone can, he can.

Strangely enough, I think he could've beaten Pence. But Holcomb hasn't pissed anyone off enough for me to think he wont get reelected easily. I doubt he'd run if the polling numbers were terrible, though. I guess we'll see! Agreed. I still think that Pence took the VP thing because he was scared of his future chances in Indiana.

As red as Indiana is, they were fucking pissed at what some of his decisions did to the state economy. The NCAA breifly considered moving headquarters FFS. He wouldn't have won re-election.

He's my governor and I really like him a lot. That said I'd vote for Kamala over him because Kamala. Also hearing whispers that merkley might run and he would be excellent too.

I'm listening to Rachel Maddow's interview with Elizabeth warren and I'll say this, she is excellent at articulating her message.
Turns out you can be a liberal populist without being....shouty.

I would get behind Biden IF he runs for a single term and has someone like Kamala as VEEP with the understanding that she becomes the presumptive nominee in 2024 I could support this.
