    Of all the candidates that are rumored to be running for President (not including Oprah or Michelle) who do you personally prefer the most and why? Not who do you think will win. Not who do you think could best beat Trump. But who do YOU prefer the most and WHY? Include WHY.

        I’m all ears right now. Had we brought forth Labor AND Civil Rights together from our past, we would be in a better position. We need to realize our commonality. We need to expand our family. #commUNITY

        Labor and civil rights sounds like Sherrod Brown's message. He's considering a run.

        In the 1990s, Bernie Sanders voted against bills which promote media concentration (The Telecommunications Act) & bank concentration (The Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act which repealed #GlassSteagall). Sherrod Brown voted for those bills. A reason firms want to merge is to fire workers.

        What can one senator do when it’s an entirely bought institution? He’s introduced plenty of bills and amendments, some that have passed. He has made universal healthcare, good minimum wage, tuition free college, strengthening unions&labor law &inequality into mainstream

        Indisputably, @JosephNSanberg would be an ideal candidate. He & I have worked together via @CalEITC4Me, which has quietly helped millions of working-class families benefit from $4 billion of #EITC. My hometown, #Compton, has benefited immensely from his unostentatious work.

        No Joe. We need to go forward from the Clinton way of thinking. We have many progressives who will do that. If we play the same game, we will get the same results: Trump!

        .@mcauleykat We mean we believe in Joe Sanberg, not Joe Biden. Check out @JosephNSanberg — he and I have helped over 2 million working #Californians get over $4 billion of #EITC. Joe is a true #Progressive, who understands our economy is rigged against working people.

        Bernie Sanders. He has been consistent, outspoken, and passionate in his message of economic and social justice for decades. His only significant policy changes have been MORE pro-people, and have come from deep conversations with those affected.

        I agree. I think, though, that he would be more likely to get to the white house as a running mate for a younger candidate. Someone like @TulsiPress as the Presidential Candidate with Bernie as VP would be extremely appealing to me, and many others.

        Why not the other way around? Bernie with a younger VP? Bernie’s message would be strongly muted as a VP, whereas by acting as POTUS he could be setting the tone and acting as an elder to a rising progressive voice.

        I'd be fine with the pairing either way, but feel that the Blue Wave & FBR who spread hate about Bernie as well as false stories about him would not accept him. If they were okay finding out the DNC actively worked to steal the nomifor Hillary then they would be ok a 2nd time.

        Very long answer. Bottom line, it’s terribly unfair that he’d only beat Trump cuz ex-Hill supporters would do right thing but Berners didn’t and gave us Trump. I’d always vote against Trump but Bernie would make me sick!

        Stacey Abrams. She had the closest race of any democratic candidate in Georgia since 1990. I believe she has the experience to move our country forward with her experience and passion.
