1. Dan Savage blasted him this week for opposing Marijuana legalization...

...apparently on the grounds that police need to use marijuana as cause to search people's cars.

2. In 2008, Barack Obama was against marriage equality. n/t

4. A big who cares. This will never happen at the federal level but at the state level and people can

change their views. He is young and fresh...smart and does not have the 16 taint.

6. Don't you just love how some people use one issue to disqualify a candidate

Oh, he's against the rules for organic wheat grass!!! Ugggghhhh!!!

The net result of this is that we depress turnout.

12. I know. Pres. Obama whom I adore and campaigned for tirelessly did not agree with me

on trade agreements. You will not get a nominee who agrees completely with you. Legalization of marijuana will come at the state level with the Feds dragged kicking and screaming into it. Also abortion will be settled in court not in the Congress which is why we must win the Senate if possible in 18 and for sure in 20 or Roe V Wade is history.

13. Opposing legalization of pot is problematical, but not a reason to disqualify a candidate.

The reason given for opposition is a red flag and raises legitimate questions!

3. Love this guy...I think he has a great future.

I would like to see him run in 20.

7. + a million.

He is the new young leader so many are calling for.
The over-70 pols needs to step back, be generous mentors & offer their learned wisdom of the years.

10. Yes...this man would be great as a candidate or a VP.

5. At Harvard Law School, he was a stellar student of Professor Elizabeth Warren

Had Hillary won in 2016, she would have been offered a cabinet position, and was ready to campaign & endorse Congressman Joe Kennedy III for her Senate seat.
(Sen Warren on Congressman Joe Kennedy III )


That would have been wisely building a solid future for this country.

11. Exactly right...he is great. I want a fresh face...new blood to re-energize all of us and our party.
