McAuliffe on Hardball -- WOW

He was on FIRE. Said all the right things about Trump and how to fight him.

And he has in incredible record in Virginia.

He's also the guy who's responsible for paper ballots in VA (which helped get ALL the massive turnout votes counted).

AFAIC, he ought to run for President.

Ex-Govs of Virginia get hired as lobbyists by the big law firms and are set for life.

Wasn't he a big money raiser for Bill Clinton??

No Presidential ambitions, then?? Given his record in VA, I think he'd be GREAT.

He's done a really good job as Governor. Tight tight with the money. Lots,of improvements in processes including getting rid of touch screen voting machines.

I'd never been a fan before, and considered him a lightweight. But that is an incredible record for a governor. And that kind of executive ability is important in the White House. So is that level of fight.

Certainly seems like he’s running. Am interested in your and other DUers perspectives.
