Gov. Jay Inslee/Liz Warren-- can't lose. Coat tails big enough to give us all 3 branches of government. Draft them at the DNC if necessary, the only way to assure avoiding 4/8 years of Hillary being totally opposed on everything, just as POTUS was. Plus, divided government = stalemate as the rest of the world continues to eat our lunch. Mac

13. Washington Governor Jay Inslee

Very good on environmental and alternate energy issues. February 2014 suspended the death penalty for the duration of his term in office. "His campaign (for governor) focused on job creation, outlining dozens of proposals to increase job growth in clean energy, the aerospace industry and biotechnology. He also supported a ballot measure that would legalize gay marriage, which passed, and opposed tax increases." (Wikipedia)

He was my district's Representative before becoming governor. I went to a number of his town hall meetings and I was always impressed with his logic and his policy positions. I always thought he should seek higher office.

Bernie is showing us a trade agreement notion that even nationalist conservatives can get on board with.

The rest are virtually unknown.

This list is a disaster if you want a democratic president in 2016
