    Question: If you could have one available leader (not Obama) become President today, who would it be and WHY? I'm not asking about electability, or campaigning, etc. Who do YOU WANT to be President of the United States and why?

        He's a natural explainer. He's had to lead a disparate group of foreigners toward the same goal. And he fooled us into believing that Tony Parker was good.

        Kamala Harris. She is brilliant and a pit bull prosecutorial type that impresses every time she speaks. I think she would destroy trump in the debates. Looking forward to seeing her run.

        But i would equally be happy seeing Stacy Abrams, Beto, Andrew Gillum, throw their hats in the ring. I just hope Biden doesn’t old white guy to death in the primaries... and Bernie/Hilary, no thanks to them all, though I love them, time for new blood.

        I agree with you. The country really needs young fresh blood. Clinton, Sanders, Biden all good people but not electable I'm afraid. I really like the way Beto thinks, also Abrams is amazing.

        I don’t think Beto is any more electable than Biden or Clinton, I just like his message of unity as compared to their messages of, well, I’m not really even sure, and that was a big problem for Hilary.

        Question: how is Bernie Sanders, the country’s most popular politician & senator, “not electable?” Sanders has a massive following, and polls well with all demographics, especially the AA community- this argument has no real substance.

        Maybe if they branded themselves as Compassionate Progressives instead of Dem socialists? Branding matters. They are just going to attack that word. Add in a healthy dose of anti-semitism and I think it begins to look like a difficult road for Bernie.

        I would disagree with you. Arbitrary labels don’t matter when you’re actually discussing the issues. In policy, and in action, Sanders has leaped ahead of other 2020 contenders. Sanders honestly faces more criticism from the center than from the right.
