Robert Reich for President?

[yellowwoodII]

Quote: "Last week, Reich noted in a Facebook post if US Senator Elizabeth Warren doesn’t run for president then “I will have to reconsider.”

I could be enthusiastic about Reich for President.

We Democrats have to find a viable candidate--soon!

1. we DEMOCRATS HAVE a viable candidate....and SHE polls double digits ahead of all Republicans

care to guess who SHE is? I will give you a hint....her initials are HRC!!!


You understand "viable" means that they CAN beat the Republicans right?

2. did you read the article at all?

But as for him being that challenger: “I am not closing the door [on running for president], because the door was never open.”

3. We DO need a viable candidate - Soon! One who is ethical & will truly represent People

over Moneyed Interests & Democratic values.

4. Yes

Warren would be my first choice, but I'm afraid that she won't run.

5. That would seem to be the case.

But there is still time for her to change her mind. In the meantime, in reality, we need to find more Progressives to run against the centrist with transparency problems who wants a "warm purple space" with rethugs.

6. We Democrats have to find a viable candidate ... soon! why the rush?

I am in no hurry. People tend to make mistakes when they are in a hurry.

I like Robert Reich and would seriously consider him but, I am in no hurry for him to declare.

7. I would vote for him. nt

8. From one fantasy to another...

...it seems as though the lesson of Elizabeth Warren has been missed. You can't convince someone to run if they don't want to, and even if you could, getting someone to start up from zero this late in the game is a recipe for disaster.

9. He's a very smart and well informed politician.

We would be fortunate to have him as President.

10. Even if he isn't running...

I would gladly see him as VP or in a Cabinet seat again.

11. I like that idea

I don't know why I hadn't thought more about him as a candidate before.

12. He's smart as hell and a REAL Democrat

I could get very enthusiastic about him.
