Who Should Run Against Trump in 2020?

[fonzob1]

There are a lot of loud voices in the Democratic party today. I realize it's still pretty early, but I wanted to see where BBS Trek currently stands on who they think could be a front-runner to go head to head with Trump in the next presidential election. Who is your ideal Democratic candidate? Who is the dynamic character the Democratic party needs? If you don't have a person in mind, what are you looking for in a candidate?

Someone who cusses a lot and promotes "resistance?"

Someone who calls for impeachment without evidence of a crime?

Someone who can fake cry on demand to manipulate voters?

The descriptions in your OP appear to be intentionally antagonistic. I know US politics is quite divisive right now, so just a friendly reminder to all participants to keep things within the board guidelines. Thank you.

Hillary, she did such a good job last time.

 

[Relayer1]

I think they had the right candidate this time with Bernie, but they shafted him and he'll probably be too old for another run at it.

Have they got anyone else who isn't the 'same old same old' business as usual type ?

 

[MacLeod]

Is there really such a thing as a perfect candidate? Or a candidate who doesn't have something about their character you may not particular like? Surely it comes down to do their positives outway their negatives and what we are willing to overlook. Now for me I wouldn't votedfor a candidate who admitted to gropping woman wouldn't that be considered sexual assault?

 

[Kai "the spy"]

Bernie, with Tulsi Gabbard being my second choice.

 

[Mr. Laser Beam]

Why is Al Franken even on that list?

Why is Al Franken even on that list?

Because after the narrow defeat of Roy Moore, some people think "I'm not a pedophile" is enough of a platform to win.

 

[Ar-Pharazon]

Al Franken should run with Ben Stein as VP. At least it'd be funny.

I'll vote for Gary Johnson if he's running again. If only Gus Hall was still alive

Hillary, she did such a good job last time.

She did get more votes.

 

[auntiehill]

Who should run against Trump?

EVERYONE.

I was just looking to see how committed he was to his own statement. It's a totally reasonable question.

 

[Gov Kodos]

Hypocrisy fallacy, oh so very clever.

Not very clever on his part...

No, you are not.

No, you are not.

I will take your word for it.

Being as it was what over 25 years ago. I can't really say how I would have voed could I have voted. As I don't know what was said during the Election campaign that Clinton eventually won in 1992.

But was the soceity of 25 years ago the same as it is today or has peoples tolerance/acceptance of certain behaviours changed over that time?

But aren't people innocent until proven guilty?

Their is a difference between saying you are innocent of a sexual assult and openly admitting to sexual assault ie. groping.
