Obama’s Inner Circle Is Urging Deval Patrick to Run

BOSTON — Barack Obama is nudging him to run. His inner circle is actively encouraging it. Obama world’s clear and away 2020 favorite is sitting right here, on the 38th floor of the John Hancock Building, in a nicely decorated office at Bain Capital.
And Deval Patrick has many thoughts on what he says is Donald Trump’s governing by fear and a dishonest pitch for economic nostalgia, while encouraging a rise in casual racism and ditching any real commitment to civil rights.
Obama strategist David Axelrod has had several conversations with Patrick about running, and eagerly rattles off the early primary map logic: small-town campaign experience from his 2006 gubernatorial run that will jibe perfectly with Iowa, neighbor-state advantage in New Hampshire and the immediate bloc of votes he’d have as an African-American heading into South Carolina.
Valerie Jarrett, Obama’s close adviser and friend, says that a President Patrick is what “my heart desires.”
David Simas, Obama’s political director in the White House and now the CEO of his foundation, used to be Patrick’s deputy chief of staff and remains perhaps his biggest fan on the planet.
Obama himself—who is personally close to Patrick, and counts him among the very small group of people whom he thinks has actual political talent—has privately encouraged him to think about it, among others.
Obama veterans light up at the mention of Patrick's name. In self-assurance, style and politics, they see the former Massachusetts governor as a perfect match, the natural continuation of Obama’s legacy.
“If you were to poll 100 notable Obama alumni, the only two people who would win that 2020 straw poll right now are [Joe] Biden and Patrick,” said one former senior White House aide.

More identity politics. Glad to see the dems are learning.

That 180 on Bain Capital is going to be interesting to see performed.

It doesn't matter who the Dems run. They don't have a message.
They need the Russia stories to be over. If they had a good message it would be a back story to Russia.
No matter how much most of the board doesn't like the Russia stories it is hurting the Dems just as much as it is hurting the WH. Unless there is collusion, but most of us have a hard time believing Trump has anything to do with collusion. People in his campaign maybe

So Obama thinks 2 of 3 presidents should come from 7 percent of the population?
If you ran the stats and came up with any other demographic that small and suggested that 2 of 3 presidents should come from that group, you would be laughed at.

Obama's "Inner Circle" also talked Biden out of running and colluded against Bernie to coronate Hillary.
I say let 'em go.
