I would be very happy seeing a President Elizabeth Warren or a President Jeff Merkley. I've spoken with both from early in their national political careers and I have no doubt whatsoever either would be an extraordinary president. Blue America has raised money for both of their Senate campaigns and if either is the Democratic nominee for president, the campaign would be Blue America's top priority for 2020.
As I mentioned a few days ago, there are a shitload of really terrible candidates jumping into the quest for the Democratic nomination for president (and vice president). Today starts a new series to introduce you to the worst of them.
I'm sure Bernie will role out his 2020 presidential campaign carefully and on his own time table. In 2015 Blue America was the first independent PAC raising money for his 2016 campaign and this year we are the first independent PAC raising contributions for the 2020 campaign. You can contribute here. Disclaimer: No one from Blue America has talked with him about 2020.
"With no emerging leaders, no clear message, Democrats flounder," says the headline (source). The headline is false.
Earlier we looked at the Washington Post’s silly list of potential 2020 presidential nominees. It’s not in the comedy section but it included Beltway nonsense non-candidates like The Rock (a wrestler who may be a Democrat… or not), Andrew Cuomo, Oprah Winfrey, Kamala Harris and Howard Schultz (the Starbucks guy) and Jerry Brown.
