Democrats will have to hold onto MN,NH,and ME. Losing those 3 states put Democrats at 216ev. Democrats could pick up FL (245ev),NC(260ev)and AZ (271ev)

Harris would need to select Brown-OH as her VP runningmate.

(2,754 posts)since Americans seem to worship celebrities so much let's at least pick some sane ones with integrity and a conscience. I once saw an interview with Clooney where he said he didn't think he could get elected if his past was scrutinized. I doubt that could matter much anymore so I say run, George, run! Or run Oprah, run! Or both together, in either order.l

Clooney's father ran for the US House from KY over 15 years ago.

(8,617 posts)being the head of the federal Housing department is proof that he has leadership skills. Castro has done something Trump has not done, run a bureaucracy.
Harris was the San Francisco District Attorney and CA Attorney General before becoming US Senator.

(24,780 posts)Isn't much. Especially considering he had support from the major movers and shakers in the city. Then he went to be a bureaucrat with little to no exposure of significance. Let me know when either one has an original idea.

(169 posts)Mostly watching old youtube vidoes of her speeches, debates, interviews and her recent performance in the confirmation hearings and reading stuff about her online. I don't have a big problem with her lack of experience on the national stage (our last President only had a couple of years in the U.S Senate before gunning for the top job) but she hasn't had that big "political rockstar moment" that I think she would need to catapult her into the National conversation. With Obama, it was the 2004 speech at the DNC convention. Perhaps that moment will come for her but until she gets that moment, in my opinion it will be hard for her to set herself apart from the other Democratic contenders in 2020. Her speech at the womens march in January was well received but she's probably gonna need to put herself out there more if she any plans for the Presidency.
