Everybody starts with the Castro brothers from Texas. Tim Ryan is a popular blue collar Democrat from Ohio. We have wonderful Senators like Sheldon Whitehouse, Sherrod Brown, and Jeff Merkley from Oregon. We have bright young Democrats like Adam Schiff, Joe Kennedy III, and several others.
I don't know if Sally Yates is a Democrat or not? But, if she is an independent, she would be welcome in our Party, I would think?

(15,512 posts)I saw a rerun of her CNN interview on Friday and that was a dramatic cliffhanger question answered after several minutes of commercials. Good ol' CNN. She also said forcefully that she's not interested in running for governor of Georgia but come to think of it she didn't rule out other offices.
p.s. she was the acting Attorney General who was fired by Trump for refusing to enforce his first Islamic-country travel ban. She was appointed by Obama. Awesome interview and she'd make a great candidate!
