The other Democrat who has a chance to win the primary, especially if the field remains so large, is Dennis Kucinich. For a lot of people, he is the progressive firebrand who ran for president in 2004 and 2008. But lately he has sounded more like a Trump supporter.

Kucinich, who has been a Fox commentator for years, praised Trump’s inauguration speech (you know, the “American carnage” one), and argued in February that U.S. intelligence agencies forced Michael Flynn to resign as Trump’s national security advisor. In May, he agreed with Sean Hannity that the “deep state” was out to get Trump, and in a July Fox appearance, he called Donald Trump Jr.’s meeting with Russian lawyer Natalia Veselnitskay “a bunch of nothing.” Kucinich has also repeatedly met with and defended Syria’s murderous dictator Bashar al-Assad.

Since that summary was written, Kucinich went on Fox News to announce his candidacy. It’s one thing to reach out to Trump supporters with an economic message about tackling income inequality. But dismissing Russian interference, while echoing right-wing conspiracy theories about the “deep state,” is a whole different ball game.

Nevertheless, Bernie Sanders’s organization, Our Revolution, has endorsed Kucinich rather than Cordray.

3. Unfortunately, I think he's gone nuts.

Much like Ed Schultz, who I used to really like too (mainly for his support of Wisconsin).
