But I’d run a Black woman candidate Mexican male VP. Shore up those voting blocks since they already have the white liberals no matter what.

Could they win? Probably not, but they’d come closer than if they ran another 75+ year old white guy.

U.S. Rep. Val Demings (former Chief of Police in Orlando who rose through the ranks there).

1. I don't think Harris will run.
2. I WISH Michelle would run! But I don't think she wants to.

I am curious who other people want...I personally feel Biden shouldn't run again. Much of what is happening now isn't his fault, but people feel the way they feel, and he's not a strong candidate for 2024. He should claim health issues and let us run a candidate people can really rally behind. Anybody but (whomever...Trump...DethSentence...whomever) isn't going to work this time.

I'd really love Raskin but I doubt there's a way. I do have to be reasonable about this.

I'd also love to see Mitt run as an R and I'd even vote for him though I am a registered Democrat. (I don't always vote a straight party line, I make the best choice even if it's not my party.) I feel like Mitt could be a "reach across the asile" guy.

How has that worked out for them so far?

Getting rid of him would put that in jeopardy and would destroy the "Everything is wonderful" Democratic mantra.
I'd say that having Joe IN there, with the same handlers and decision-makers he has now, are already putting everything in jeopardy. And it's resoundingly destroying the "Everything is wonderful" Dem mantra. Even Democrats don't believe it any more.

Keeping it the same for 2024 is what they CAN'T afford to do.

They won’t run a leftist celeb because they might not be able to control them. So, I’m think Beto or maybe Klobuchar (she checks some minority boxes).
I think Buttigieg is going to be a Democratic front runner in 2028 if not 2024.

Finding an honest politician is nearly impossible more so in the D party. Some of these choices are hilarious. How about running someone who would defund the MIC? Good luck.
