Kennedy/Harris 2020. Here's why: [View all] TreeStarsForever Nov 2018 OP
Harris yes. Kennedy no. ZZenith Nov 2018 #1
We need name recognition and star-power against Trump. TreeStarsForever Nov 2018 #4
Ummmm. I don't see it. ZZenith Nov 2018 #10
Who else have the Democrats nominated that is from a dynasty in recent memory? TreeStarsForever Nov 2018 #18
I meant as a nation. ZZenith Nov 2018 #23
Joe Kennedy has spent his career helping the poor and under-privileged. TreeStarsForever Nov 2018 #28
And hoping to jail people for possessing some weed. ZZenith Nov 2018 #31
All 2020 candidates will have negatives. No candidate is perfect. TreeStarsForever Nov 2018 #33
And some negatives automatically rule them out amongst people of conscience. ZZenith Nov 2018 #38
Ok. Glad to know marijuana is your #1 issue. TreeStarsForever Nov 2018 #43
Defeating the fascist movement in this country is my #1 issue ZZenith Nov 2018 #45
So glad to hear marijuana isn't your #1 issue. TreeStarsForever Nov 2018 #46
Perhaps you haven't spent much time amongst the youth of this country ZZenith Nov 2018 #50
I disagree. And I'm 29 and live in weed crazy Oregon with two younger siblings. TreeStarsForever Nov 2018 #54
Well howdy neighbor. ZZenith Nov 2018 #62
All 2020 candidates will have negatives. No candidate is perfect. TreeStarsForever Nov 2018 #63
We're not a monarchy True_Blue Nov 2018 #70
I'm basing my opinion on charisma, star-power, and name-recognition when facing someone like Trump. TreeStarsForever Nov 2018 #73
Kamala Harris has star power & charisma True_Blue Nov 2018 #79
You didn't see the reaction to Joe Kennedy's Democratic response to Trump's State of the Union? TreeStarsForever Nov 2018 #80
+ 100 question everything Nov 2018 #17
Biden/Beto would be better combination Cane4Dems Nov 2018 #2
Getting on Trump's level never works. TreeStarsForever Nov 2018 #5
Is that you, Joseph? ZZenith Nov 2018 #25
Beto as VP yes, but Biden no thanks, can we get some non soon-to-be 80 somethings please Celerity Nov 2018 #6
Yeah, I am leaning towards Kennedy marylandblue Nov 2018 #3
She represents the heart of the Democratic Party: women and minorities. TreeStarsForever Nov 2018 #7
I think he has a stiletto tongue to fight back against Trump's hammer marylandblue Nov 2018 #14

Harris/O'Rourke GaYellowDawg Nov 2018 #9
Thank you. ZZenith Nov 2018 #13
I agree it would JonLP24 Nov 2018 #15
I like that one. tinrobot Nov 2018 #34
this Celerity Nov 2018 #64
That's what I want nini Nov 2018 #65
Flip the ticket and I might agree JonLP24 Nov 2018 #11
We can agree to disagree. TreeStarsForever Nov 2018 #19
I love Harris... jcgoldie Nov 2018 #12
I will never support Harris, nor Gillibrand, who were the first to demand Franken resign question everything Nov 2018 #16
Kennedy's Democratic response proves he can capture the youth vote (VIDEO): TreeStarsForever Nov 2018 #22
Kennedy needs to "evolve" away from his 1950s style attitude on cannabis tritsofme Nov 2018 #20
Really? That's your criticism? TreeStarsForever Nov 2018 #21
Yea, really. He is way out of step. tritsofme Nov 2018 #24
Views on weed are the least of my concern these days. We have much bigger fish to fry. TreeStarsForever Nov 2018 #26
Weed may seem like a not so serious issue... jcgoldie Nov 2018 #39
I'm pretty sure Kennedy can and will "evolve" on this issue. TreeStarsForever Nov 2018 #41
Thanks for that JonLP24 Nov 2018 #27
All 2020 candidates will have negatives. No candidate is perfect. TreeStarsForever Nov 2018 #30
But the youth will LOVE him, donchaknow? ZZenith Nov 2018 #29
Very true. Now you're getting it! TreeStarsForever Nov 2018 #32
You've not convinced anyone of anything. ZZenith Nov 2018 #42
Neither have you? TreeStarsForever Nov 2018 #44
Your enthusiasm seems to be preventing you from recognizing that your proposed ticket ZZenith Nov 2018 #47

Don't know me very well, do you, brother? ZZenith Nov 2018 #51
Nope. TreeStarsForever Nov 2018 #56
I am sure Joe Kennedy III is a decent enough chap. ZZenith Nov 2018 #60
But my point is that in a contest against reality-TV star Trump, we desperately need style. TreeStarsForever Nov 2018 #61
Over substance? ZZenith Nov 2018 #66
You need style to win against Trump. That's the reality when you go against a reality-star. TreeStarsForever Nov 2018 #68
You're welcome, bro! ZZenith Nov 2018 #71
Keep going, bro! TreeStarsForever Nov 2018 #72
So is discernment, bro! ZZenith Nov 2018 #74
Why did you steal my bro thing? That's weird. TreeStarsForever Nov 2018 #75
Didn't realize you'd invented it. You can have it back, bro! ZZenith Nov 2018 #77
Thanks, bro! TreeStarsForever Nov 2018 #78
Or vice versa. It's time for a woman president but I could live with your ticket. brush Nov 2018 #35
Sadly, sexism is still very prevalent in America as Hillary's candidacy proved. TreeStarsForever Nov 2018 #40
No. No. Sorry Laura PourMeADrink Nov 2018 #36
Who would you prefer? TreeStarsForever Nov 2018 #37
Too early..but think about it ..Trump ate 16 opponents Laura PourMeADrink Nov 2018 #55
2020 is going to be absolutely brutal unless Trump is somehow Celerity Nov 2018 #82
Kamala Harris and Sherrod Brown or Beto O'Rourke Garrett78 Nov 2018 #48
Love Sherrod Brown. And I am serious...he needs Laura PourMeADrink Nov 2018 #58
I don't want either Harris or Brown in the VP slot dflprincess Nov 2018 #59
I meant Harris as President and either Brown or O'Rourke as VP. Garrett78 Nov 2018 #76
Harris -Yes. Kennedy NO rollin74 Nov 2018 #52
Hmmm Lotusflower70 Nov 2018 #53

Harris and O'Rourke 2020 is the consensus of this thread Celerity Nov 2018 #67
Only cuz of what happened tonight. O'Rourke is a flash in the pan. But we shall see. TreeStarsForever Nov 2018 #69
Oh yes, wayyyyy too early. I do really like Kamala the best so far though. Celerity Nov 2018 #81
Beto is the new superstar and frontrunner in my book AlexSFCA Nov 2018 #83
