Literally 0% chance of being elected, however, he did bring up some valid points on the Joe Rogan podcast as to some upcoming issues with AI/automation and why the President should be focused on the benefits and issues that are around the corner.

NBC and CBS are all in for Beto which is where all of the democratic political hits against his competitors are coming from.

This just isn't true. If you guys got out of your internet/media tribalism bubble. There are still a lot of people in the real world that are pretty center and just lean one way or the other.

My Top 3

Sherrod Brown - I think he would be a very good President and if it were between Brown and Trump I’d have a tough time deciding.

Amy Klobuchar - I think she is already in trouble with stories about staff that even I knew would break a month ago.

Tulsi Gabbard - Anti War and pragmatic on foreign affairs.


Somehow klobuchar has tricked people into thinking she’s a moderate, but she supports all the socialists policies of the left

It qualifies her about as much as being a community organizer qualified him.

She is very seriously the only sane person running for them so far.

I’ll be voting libertarian regardless, but as far as the dems go on policy, she isn’t a complete nutjob.

And that’s why I’m confused to see your top choices be her and Robert Francis. They couldn’t be more different

Look at the history. The last three really effective and popular Democratic presidents were younger, energetic men in their 40s (Obama, Clinton, Kennedy). Only one guy meets that criteria.

In no way am I speaking of her ability to be president, but you guys are fooling yourselves if you think Oprah doesn't have a very good chance of winning if she decides to run.



I would certainly never vote for her, but you are correct.

I know this statement will get downvotes, but she would be the leftwing version of Donald Trump. People know her because of TV and outlandish “look at me” attention-whoring. She can claim to be a political outsider who is going to clean up DC, despite the fact she has been very politically active with all the DC swamp folks. And...even if she truly doesn’t believe all the far left ideologies, she could “reform” her beliefs to rally a hard core base for the primaries.

Opra vs Trump would be the made for TV battle, as to steal from Terrel Owens, they both “love me some me”.

Im not saying I buy this (because I dont) but a typical leftist would probably retort that Trump was a reality TV star who had had no close personal exposure to politics prior to running for President. Michelle was in the White House for 8 years and was around Barack quite a bit so its reasonable to assume she probably has a decent knowledge of what the position entails.

Beto calling for open borders should disqualify him. But of course it won’t with the left

Left leaning? We don't have those. We just have the biggest Gary Johnson refuge on the internet, apparently.

Kamala
Beto
Biden

That's my list as of today. If it's Biden, I'd want Kamala to be VP and I'd prefer him to run on a pledge of 1 term. That would be truly historic.
