I'd include Schiff and Buttegeig in that list (as far as being able to do the job admirably goes), and it would still be by no means complete. I hope everyone keeps their powder dry for as long as possible, and that the primary season is mercifully short, because the presidency in 2028 is going to be like the presidency in 2008: the fight for the White House will be contained to the fight for the Democratic nomination. After the disaster wrought by the Republicans in the four preceding years, only seizing the White House by force would keep it in Republican hands--not that I would count that out as a possibility, you understand.
