Perhaps you should check out some of his books as well.

Why don't you provide an equally derogatory article authored by Donald Trump about women veterans.

Do the Donald's three marriages offend you?

Mr Webb has the same number.

Pick any Democratic Senator under 50.

I think Dick Durbin running for governor means he is setting himself up to run in 2024 or 2028. Anthony Brown and Charli Crist both seem to want to be in government really bad.

Jay Inslee apparently started an exploratory committee the night after he won reelection.

I have said before, Cuomo(NY) is going to run. Steve Bullock in Montana has nothing else to do, and the only reason his predecessor didnt run is because he couldnt get any traction.

Mark Dayton seems to be a great choice as well.

You republicans keep saying that, but JFK wanted government to provide a job to every jobless person just liked FDR. Something you republicans have always been against.

That alone makes him far more liberal than the Democratic Party is now.

JFK argues for universal health care and how a progressive citizenry and progressive government made America great:

JFK also argued for lower taxes to spur economic growth and was for a strong and muscular military and foreign policy. He was very pro-America, including law and order.

He wouldn't fly in the current democrat party.

Any Democratic candidate that continues to pretend we are still in the 1950s when it comes to social issues and makes it a huge part of their campaign will lose easily

He still supported a 65% top marginal tax rate, which is substantially higher than what any progressive supports today. And the non-progressive neoliberal Wall Street wing of the Dem party supports far, far lower rates. "muscular military policy"? Well, this was the height of the Cold War, totally different times than today when the military industrial complex has to constantly scare people to get taxpayer money for the latest toys.

Amen! Tulsi Gabbard in 2020!

I also like small town mayor of Braddock, Pennsylvania, John K. Fetterman. He ran a grassroots campaign for the senate seat in the pa primary against two establishment politicians. He is a Harvard Grad and looks like White America from the rust belt and Appalachian states
