Is that possible to engineer now?
He is the perfect one to take on Trump. And the perfect president to represent America to the world.
Can you imagine the freak-out in the WH if that were announced?

Schiff is AG under Warren (fingers still crossed), or Feinstein's replacement.

(10,885 posts)How I was hoping he would announce his candidacy. The only saving grace is that he's so effective where he is and doing what he's doing.

(268 posts)... he is irreplaceable at this level of integrity and competence at his current position. His departure would create a dangerous vulnerability to his position and the fate of our country might depend on this powerful position more than it does the actual presidential office.

(42,704 posts)He know full well that Trump would use it to promote the conspiracy that Schiff pushed impeachment just to clear a path for Schiff to become president. That's absurd, but Schiff knows how these conspiracy theories take on a life of their own.
