7. Let me preface everything that I am about to say with this: a. I am not endorsing the people I am about to suggest. b. I am not proud that our political process has been hijacked by a bigoted billionaire celebrity. c. I loathe Trump, but we must not be blinded by hate.

18. Lastly, the Democratic candidate in 2020 must have a demonstrated history of being able to organize people on the national level. It would help if they have a real presence in all 50 states and know how to organize and mobilize people in practical ways.

21. I agree with every single argument that "we don't need another celebrity." But 2020 is not normal. The person does not have to be a celebrity per se, but to defeat Trump, to win back the news cycle, will take very unique factors that only a few people have It's where we are
