Mitt Romney isn't a bad guy. He's already pointing out Trump's low moral character.

He isn't a good guy either

Nobody has officially said they are running but a few have now said they are exploring the option. Some of the most likely options:

Sen. Bernie Sanders (Vt.)
Sen. Elizabeth Warren (Mass.)
Sen. Kamala D. Harris (Calif.)
Former vice president Joe Biden
Sen. Cory Booker (N.J.)
New Orleans Mayor Mitch Landrieu
Sen. Sherrod Brown (Ohio)
New York Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo
Former New York mayor Michael Bloomberg

Then there's others like Mark Cuban, Erik Holder and Dwayne (The Rock) Johnson who I doubt will make a go but if they do they will at least make some waves.

I did not add Hillary as I see her chances as zero.

who else? Who has no shot and who would you be excited for?

Beto

I don't think Hillary is running. I hope the hell not.

Bloomberg won't get my vote

The Rock or Oprah would be awesome. I'd love to see the Rock and Trump in the same room and see Trump talk shit to him.


I'm excited for the debates.
 
Out of that group I'd say Biden as it apparent the Dems want to stay the course with the old guard. Example would be putting Pelosi still being the pick for soh.
If the Dems go old school again they will get beat ,on the other hand if they go to far left with DS Im not sure the country is ready for that, I know the mid west and south are not.

Why don't you just vote for the cast of The View?

He hasn’t declared yet but he keeps traveling to Iowa and spending millions on adds. He’s a giant boogie man to the right. I don’t know that much about him aside from he’s a billionaire and was a hedge fund manager for decades. His primary point as far as I can tell is a push to impeach Trump.

Hopefully they're all healthy and he isn't worried about how they look.

He's the former coal mine owner who bought Kitzhaber by bribing him through his wife's company.

His "war on the poor" policy of taxing people for every mile they drive was pushed hard by Kitzy, who seems to be thinking he could get elected again.

Pardon me for discounting your post since everything you say is right wing propaganda

Electric cars don't pay gas taxes. They need to pay for the roads too.

She's also pro-Assad, which I personally find a bit distasteful.

i don't think i have read anywhere that position stated by her. she is without a doubt against intervention in the middle east at this time though.

Gabbard also stands by her meeting with Assad, her spokeswoman said: “She has stated time and again that peace can never be achieved if we only meet and speak with our friends. If we really want peace, we need to be fearless enough to sit down and speak directly with our adversaries.” ---------from guardian article.

she also won't pass a purity litmus test concerning some of the progressive agenda, but IMHO makes her a candidate for reaching across party lines into the independent pool of voters, to increase elect-ability. i am a pro life independent with a definite left tilt but not a one issue one, and am willing to overlook the choice position in other liberal candidates.

Talking to the enemy is a good thing. Calling our allies fighting the against the enemy 'terrorists' is a different, not-so-good thing.
I don't think it disqualifies her or anything - but it wasn't a great first step in the spotlight. I'd still vote for her over Trump.

are you referring to her sponsorship of"the stop arming terrorists act"?

The measure stems from Rep. Tulsi Gabbard’s “Stop Arming Terrorists Act,” which the Hawaii Democrat introduced last year with bipartisan support. Gabbard, a skeptic of previous efforts by the U.S. government to train and equip so-called moderate rebels in Syria, believes the measure will ensure that American weapons won’t end up in the wrong hands.

You guys have had some great Federal legislators. A great example is Senator Inouye.

he has been dead for 6 years now. he and ted stevens were quite the dynamic duo in their day, even though they were from different sides of the aisle.

Gabbard claimed the US was funding terrorist groups by assisting Syrian rebels and further pushed a talking point propagated by the Assad regime and the Russian government that there are no moderate rebels in Syria.

Her (and Dennis Kucinich's) interest in Assad feels a bit like Dana Rohrbacher's and Trump's interest in Putin. Maybe innocent, but it bears watching.
