Mark Kelly for President in 2028.

[Kingofalldems]

He's a winner.

This sham Pentagon investigation will put him at the top of the list.

[OLDMDDEM]

1. I agree he's a winner. Presidential candidate? I have to think about it.

[allegorical oracle]

2. I would seriously consider him. nt

[Kingofalldems]

5. He has no baggage that I know of

and of course he was an astronaut and a retired veteran.

3. She's not even running..

But mock me all you want, I totally could see POTUS Lina Khan .

That would make those parasitic technofascist oligarchs shit bricks..

[Celerity]

9. She cannot be POTUS, she is not eligible.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lina_Khan#Early_life_and_education

Khan was born on March 3, 1989, in London, to Pakistani immigrant parents. She grew up in Golders Green in the London Borough of Barnet. Her parents, a management consultant and an employee of Thomson Reuters, moved to the United States when she was 11 years old. The family settled in Mamaroneck, New York, where she and her two siblings attended public school.

18. That, and she's a woman and we can't have THAT!

Dreams die hard. I was overjoyed when I voted for Kamala, certain she could win.

Now I think we just cannot ever have a woman president and I am sick over it...

[Diamond_Dog]

28. Me too CTyankee

[jfz9580m]

21. Oh well

Dammit ;-/.

[Fiendish Thingy]

12. Kahn was the unsung hero of the Biden administration

I hope the next Dem president brings her back to the FTC.

[jfz9580m]

22. She really was

I am rarely enthusiastic about anyone and even I was thrilled by her. We have a lot of us in the rabble who think as I do. But it’s rare for someone to get into power and not disappoint and she didn’t.

She wasn’t entirely unsung and she was hated and feared by the technofascist cult.

[pfitz59]

4. He has accomplished so much

President is an unlikely goal. Senator is a great job, especially when the Dems rake back control.

[Diamond_Dog]

6. And then we'd have Gabby Giffords for First Lady! Win win!

[KLK1972]

7. I think they must be REALLY scared of him to have singled him out this way!

[MarineCombatEngineer]

25. Yeah, and Kegsbreath and Pedonald are too fucking stupid to realize the shit storm they created.

Welcome to DU.

[WhiskeyGrinder]

8. lol good lord

[Ritabert]

10. I like him.

[JI7]

11. I like him but he is the type that doesn't like to "go low"

Newsom and Pritzker are the ones that will not hold back on going after the other side.

[Fiendish Thingy]

13. Not my first choice.

I’m sure he’s gonna run, along with a dozen or more others.

[ms liberty]

14. No. Not yet. Let's win the midterms first, shall we?

[Arazi]

15. An outstanding contender. Put him in

[Halicarnassus]

16. Great potential candidate of many.

I like Beshear, Shapiro, Fetterman, Newsom, and Buttigieg, but as you can see… eh, I’m pretty undecided.

[markie]

17. if

he was the candidate, I would vote for him.... however, better choices are out there

[Renew Deal]

19. Maybe

Depends on the field

[mr715]

20. He's complicated.

I have opinions. He had to be there for former Rep. Giffords and has been an impressive electoral force. But there is other stuff that makes me look elsewhere.

[Blasphemer]

23. He was my choice for Harris's VP nt

[JustABozoOnThisBus]

24. He's ok, but I'm still rooting for Newsom or Whitmer.

And right now, I'd vote Newsom. I don't know that a woman can get the votes. Kamala should currently be our second female president, after HRC's eight hears.

[Gore1FL]

26. It's 2025. nt

[StarryNite]

27. I would definitely vote for him.

[ColoringFool]

29. Never Going To Happen. And Maybe I'm Little Ms. Superficial, But....

In America, visuals are much of the successful message.

Our candidate will be Gavin Newsom. The OG Outspoken Opponent of Trump.

[murielm99]

30. I suggested him earlier.

No one liked the idea then. We have such a deep bench that maybe we should keep him where he is. He is impressive in any capacity. Also, he might not want to put his wife through such a pressure situation. She is a miracle of survival, but she could be more fragile than we realize.

[JustAnotherGen]

31. He'll be 'too nice' for the role

You have a core base who wants severe punishment - not coming together. We made a monumental mistake in 1877 - let's not do it again. Is he qualified? Absolutely. But does he have the vicious temper to bring enemies and traitors to our constitution to heel? Nope.

Black woman, liberal - - the 92%. You give us red meat we can sink our teeth into - you'll see numbers like Black Men and Women in NJ just gave Mikie Sherrill. She's singing our song.

So are Newsom and Pritzker. And they are in Blue States with nothing to lose. Given a choice between a go along to get along - or an in your face asshole?

I'll take the in your face asshole.

[tinrobot]

32. Nice guy, but not a lot of charisma.

Sorry to say it, but you have to attract and hold people's attention these days. Not sure how he gets over the top in what will be a crowded primary.
