(31,922 posts)I had no idea that Jerry Brown thought that way.
As a lifetime Californian, I have always supported Brown; but I sure don't agree with him on this.
I wish he had just left it at: "A primary challenge to her .doesn't look like a fruitful use of my time."
But for him to add
"I would say that she's extremely formidable and it doesn't appear that there's anything that would block her path."
is, IMO, a dumb thing for him to say.
One thing "that would block her path" is the fact that there seem to be so many Democrats who would prefer Elizabeth Warren, who isn't even planning on running for POTUS.
Another "thing that would block her path" is the very popular Independent Senator from Vermont, Bernie Sanders, who IS thinking of running for POTUS, and who I like as much as I like Elizabeth Warren, but he would have to become a Democrat to get my vote.
IMO, if Sanders ran as an Independent, he would split the Democratic vote, and assure the GOP a victory in 2016.
Finally, one more "thing that would block her path" is something Jerry Brown himself said in that interview:
"When asked about the recent controversy over Hillary Clinton's use of a private e-mail account as Secretary of State, Brown said he is not convinced the issue is a passing storm, as many other Democrats contend."
