  McAuliffe ‘obviously looking’ at 2020 run
  
  Former Virginia Gov. Terry McAuliffe (D) said Sunday that he is “obviously looking” at a potential presidential bid in 2020.
  
  “I’m not going to announce right now. I’m obviously looking at it. I’ve got time. I’ve got a lot of great relationships. I have 40 years of working for this party. I have plenty of friends in many states, so I don’t have to rush into this,” he said on CNN’s “State of the Union.”
  
  “But what folks want … is someone who is compulsively optimistic and realistic. And the Democrats have to lay out an agenda of success, of what we plan to do,” he added.
  
  McAuliffe, who is a close ally of the Clintons and was the former chairman of the Democratic National Committee, pitched himself as a candidate who can get results.

  The comments are pretty good….."Hillary in drag".
  
  Methinks he just wants to raise some money.

  “But what folks want … is someone who is compulsively optimistic and realistic.”
  
  Realistic sounds to me like centrist dem speak for the same old incrementalism and dems “bipartisanship” with the rethugs that gets us nowhere.
  
  Reminds of Shrillary’s “sure, they all (Bernie supporters) want a pony, but that’s not realistic” comments.

    I can just see it now, I have to reincarnate the Cat Food Commission because Social Security isn’t realistic. Vote for McAuliffe and you’ll just get another neoliberal pos.

  McAuliffe, a close ally of the Clintons is a very poor choice.
  
  One I refuse to support. If they cheat Bernie I will vote for Trump. I will encourage everyone I know to vote for Trump.
  
  Bernie or bust.
  I would like to remind you that U.S. health insurance companies do not contribute anything to health care. They are only a PARASITIC middle man receiving an undeserved cut of "FREE MONEY".

    I cannot vote for Trump under any circumstances, and I don't see how any progressive can, either.
    
    IMO, you cannot do that and still claim to be a progressive. You are falling right into the Lesser of Two Evils trap. Please don’t. Better not to vote at all than to vote for the orange cretin, no matter who the opponent is.

  running for the POTUS I am sure BO will be making calls for him because a 2929 defeat means Michelle can run in 2924
  Never expect different result by following the previous steps

  A lot of pols are lining up. Left/Mid/Right. Provinding a lot of choices for the winner to pick a VP from….to "balance the ticket".
  
  I wonder how many of the wannabes are really running for VP.
