Apr 2016

but she needs someone younger, from the next generation

Thus Biden, Sanders, Brown and Warren are out.

Deval Patrick I've heard now works with investment bankers so.... bad optics. Though I really liked him.

Cuomo is... not his father. I don't think he can light a fire.

I like O'Malley because he is a former governor. Same with Dan Malloy - CT gov.

Oh, and of course, HUD secretary Julian Castro will be a good candidate, too.

I like Cory Booker but I am not sure he has a family and our electorate still like to see a ma and pa a kid or two and a dog (or a cat)
