No. This country would not elect a Muslim President.
I mean, then you're using the word wrong. Frontrunner should mean "most likely to win." I don't think 2017 name recognition correlates well with that at all. Just say "most well-known."
America wouldn't elect a black president either.
I understand what you're saying and though I hate to say it, Ellison's Muslim faith probably would preclude from becoming president in 2020. But him running would be great not only to amplify his leftist views, but also to gauge to what degree his religion matters voters.
Rubio losing the Florida primary was something else.
A Politico poll back in June had 53% never hearing of Kamala. Gillibrand was only a point better. Even Booker was at 46% never hearing of him.
Gallup had Obama's name recognition at 53% in 2006.

Obama campaign spokeswoman Jen Psaki views the next seven months as a marathon not a sprint.
What we are focusing on right now is to introduce Barack Obama to voters across the country, and the more people that get to see him, the more they like him. We are very comfortable with that, she said, adding that staffers recognize there is still a lot of work to do.
you shut your whore mouthmy guess is that Sherrod won't jump in
I'm always back and forth on Sanders, but the two main things that give me pause on him are his age and that stupid FBI investigation. Which I know is stupid but fielding another candidate under yet another investigation makes me hesitate.
If he were to run, I'd want two things. A completely different team, like how Clinton did. And more enthusiasm to support downballot Democrats.

Already?

I have no problem with Biden or Bernie running, but, considering their age, I want both of them to name their VP before voting starts.

NEWS: WV Gov Jim Justice is expected to change parties, become a Republican tonight at the rally with Trump >>
I'm not worried about Brown's race. What I think would hold him back is whether or not a Democrat wins the governor's race, which right now, who knows. But if a Republican wins, he'll probably not run for fear of being replaced by a Republican.I think the 2018 senate race will keep Sherrod Brown from running. It's an impossible tightrope to walk. He might not even win.

Miami Rep. Carlos Curbelo will attend an Aug. 23 fundraising reception hosted by nine Democrats, including former Miami Mayor Manny Diaz, Homestead Mayor Jeff Porter and Florida City Mayor Otis Wallace, according to an invitation to the event.
Curbelo drew his first Democratic opponent with national party backing, Debbie Mucarsel-Powell, on Wednesday.
The sophomore congressman has campaigned as a moderate -- an image that can only be bolstered with Democratic financial support. Among the Democrats co-hosting the fundraiser are Ira Leesfield, a major Hillary Clinton donor, and attorney Roland Sanchez-Medina. Last year, Sanchez-Medina served as campaign treasurer for Curbelo's Democratic rival, Joe Garcia.
"While we don't agree with him on every issue, he is a voice of reason in an increasingly unreasonably partisan world, he works hard to represent Miami-Dade County in Washington, and, in particular, he is trying to bring both parties together for the good of the country," Sanchez-Medina said in an email to the Miami Herald. "We are proud to support Carlos."
Some Democrats on the list, including Porter, Wallace, political consultant Freddy Balsera and lobbyist Brian May, have also supported Curbelo in the past.
Congrats to everyone that worked very hard to elect a Democrat in West Virginia last November!

I think the good news is that to win the Senate race means appealing to the electorate in Ohio, and while Ohio may well lose much of its importance going forward, the things one does to appeal in Ohio are likely to help in MI/PA/Wi.
You mean switch back? He was a Republican before 2015 lol.
2016 said:Justice is running as a conservative Democrat, not unlike former governor and current U.S. Sen. Joe Manchin, with whom he shares a number of campaign staff. Hes flip-flopped between the two major parties, giving money to both and changing his registration, most recently in February 2015, when he became a Democrat. However, he says he wont vote for Clinton and dismissed Coles claim that he supports Obama as complete dog snot.
And while Justice spokesman Grant Herring says his candidate isnt focused on the national political circus, the language he uses to describe his appeal sounds awfully familiar. Jim is no politician, says Herring. He is the outsider in this race who has the skills and experience to transform the state.
In his attacks on Justice, Cole spokesman Gates repeated one line a couple of times: At the end of the day, Jim Justice is going to do whats best for Jim Justice.
Special Counsel Robert Mueller has impaneled a grand jury in Washington to investigate Russia's interference in the 2016 elections, a sign that his inquiry is growing in intensity and entering a new phase, according to people familiar with the matter.
The grand jury, which began its work in recent weeks, is a sign that Mr. Mueller's inquiry is ramping up and that it will likely continue for months. Mr. Mueller is investigating Russia's efforts to influence the 2016 election and whether President Donald Trump's campaign or associates colluded with the Kremlin as part of that effort.
For a second there I was thinking it was going to be policy related. What a joke.
Are you saying you're on the Brown Train?Also it's pretty easy to turn around from a 2018 win and use that momentum to run nationally.
An unfortunate anecdote to add to the pile of "no seriously, Manchin is literally the best we're getting there."Congrats to everyone that worked very hard to elect a Democrat in West Virginia last November!
Does he have compromising photos of everyone? Why in the hell would you do this (in a race that you should be fighting, if its an r+30 sure w/e?)what the fuck

I'd love to see polling on Joe Manchin, everybody's favorite Democratic senator to argue about on message boards.
He seems to have done all the right things, but you never know how it plays back home.

If Justice is switching parties in WV, I believe that leaves Manchin and John Perdue (Treasurer) as only 2 statewide Dem office holders.
