In reply to the discussion: So IF Hillary is the Democratic nominee in 2016, will you vote for her or stay home? [View all]graham4anything
(11,464 posts)against Jeb, against Rubio, Christie, whomever.
But I don't feel that is guaranteed with anyone else.
I really feel Jeb will beat Warren the same exact way 41 beat Dukakis
I just don't see the 270 being attainable let alone easy
and winning is all I care about.
As you said, there are over the years hundreds and hundreds who would have/could have made a great president, but only 44 have officially gotten the title.
As to Feingold, he lost me when he took the ball and went home and whined ala Bill Bradley after 2000. Feingold could have run for Gov(same with Bradley instead of Corzine vs. Christie)
Always thought though Feingold was Wellstone light.
Wellstone would have made a great President except he couldn't have gotten elected,
and would have been the wiser VP choice for Gore in 2000 (among many other wiser choices, but if Gore wanted a good family man who was Jewish like the reason he picked Joe L., then
Wellstone was that person. (though his at that time not well known MS probably was a reason he didn't get any thought).
