      Something to watch about Patrick: Of the four governors who’ve announced for president (him, Bullock, Inslee, Hickenlooper) he’s the only one who had a Democratic legislative majority for all eight years. What did it achieve? That’s not part of the early messaging!

      I’m stealing @mattyglesias’s bit here, but there’s not really any Dem governor of the Obama era who can say “here are the long-held progressive goals I pulled off.” Most famously, Vermont’s Peter Shumlin had an opportunity to pass single payer and choked.

          Single payer is not as popular as you think it is.

          Most Americans have no idea what single payer means. And most can’t even understand how their current health insurance works.

          Didn't Cuomo pass gay marriage, $15 minimum wage, free college for families making less than $125,000, and stricter gun laws? I don't like the guy, but you can't deny that NY got more progressive. Also, many states passed weed legalization, higher minimum wages, etc.

          None of our recent presidents had any legislative goals they pulled off that they ran on. Let’s not kid ourselves- winning the presidency is about rhetoric, tone, and turning out the right folks to vote at the right time.

          "choked" is pretty unfair. More accurate to say the experience demonstrated the impossibility of the task.
