In reply to the discussion: Who is the "most electable" in 2020? [View all]Adenoid_Hynkel
(14,093 posts)8. Dems would be insane not to consider Sherrod Brown
He's on track to be re-elected by nearly 20 points this year on Ohio in a swing state that Trump won.
Solid liberal. Likeable guy, witty, quick on his feet and a great communicator.
He's walked the walk on blue collar issues, opposing NAFTA and corporate trade deals and gets rustbelt issues. And, unlike Trump, he means what he says and doesn't have a line of products with his daughter made in overseas sweatshops.
He should have been Hillary's v-p pick in 2016, but instead we got Bill's recommendation of Kaine, who brought zilch to the ticket.
After November, Brown should be someone who gets talked about in these 2020 discussions.
