    Yeah, a Harris/Buttigieg race creates a lot of opportunity for other candidates to jump in.https://twitter.com/michaelbd/status/1459702581140365318 …

    I’ve heard this chatter too. And it’s insane. If there two are the future, IMO there is a massive opening for a genuinely populist Democrat to destroy them and win walking away against an establishment GOP figure. https://twitter.com/WaPoSean/status/1459621148656865282 …

        I don't see it, the party is too disciplined to let that race happen.

        Why is anyone with a brain talking about this?

        Because they understand the electoral college.

        Who was the last Secretary of... who won the nomination who had not won a high office, like Rep or Senator? I thought the path was Senator then... Or, rarer, Governor then...

        I think Herbert Hoover. He was the Sec of Commerce when he ran (and won).

        But none of them have the numbers or the ability so far to explain/defend their ideas clearly enough to look factual & sound enough to the purple states across the country in an electoral college.

        Who? Who can win? There are no nationally popular Democrats.

        I love how people keep talking like there are ever going to be D presidents again. It would be hilarious if it wasn't so terrifying. These are the same people who rearranged deck chairs on the Titanic!
