2020 Democratic Vice Presidential Nominee-Sherrod Brown-OH would be the perfect choice whether or

[nkpolitics1212]

not he wins re-election in 2018.
3 likely scenarios to happen to Brown in 2018.
Scenario 1- Brown loses re-election by a narrow margin.
Putting Brown on the ticket will at best put OH in play but turn MI,PA,and WI into Democratic States.
Scenario 2- Brown wins re-election, Republicans win the OH Governorship.
This would be a tough call because Brown will be succeeded a Republican if he were to become Vice President.
Scenario 3- Brown wins re-election, Democrats win the OH Governorship.
There will be no problem putting putting Brown on the ticket.

1. Number 2 is why he wasn't on the ticket in 2016

Hillary didn't want to lose his seat.

4. We need to help the 2018 Democratic nominee for OH governor.

Betty Sutton-D or Nan Whaley-D will need our support.

2. FWIW his wife, Connie Schultz, was against it last time. He'd make a great President.

Not sure why he should only be considered a VP candidate rather than a Presidential candidate.

6. I gave Brown the VP position rather than the Presidential position because Brown is a DC insider.

Brown-D has been a member of US House and US Senate for a total of 25 years. Democrats should pick a DC outsider(Governor) or a US Senator in his or her first term.
Kamala Harris or Cory Booker as Presidential candidate and Sherrod Brown as Vice Presidential candidate will be like the Obama/Biden ticket.

3. I really really really like Sherrod Brown

Did I say I really like him?

Honestly I do. He's as plain spoken as a politician can be. When I say plain spoken I mean he speaks truth from the heart with us all in mind. No beating around the bush with him. Good Guy 100%

Sherrod Brown as President would make us Proud

5. I would prefer he wins his seat

Then runs as president. I cannot think of any other candidate who could unite all sides of the party.

The only people who would object are folks who only have one candidate they will support.

7. Most importantly first, who is likely to run for Governor, and what are their chances ?

[nkpolitics1212]

9. Betty Sutton-D the former US House member who succeeded Sherrod Brown in the US House in 2006 then

narrowly lost her seat in 2012 due to redistricting (Sutton-D and Rennacci-D were put in the same district-Rennacci-R narrowly won the 2012 OH-16CD US House Race) is the frontrunner for the 2018 Democratic nomination for Governor assuming Jennifer Brunner-D and Richard Cordray-D don't run. If Brunner-D or Cordray-D decide to run, Sutton-D should drop out of the Governors Race and run for the US House in OH-16CD-which is an open seat election since Rennacci-R is running for Governor.
Regarding the November General Election-Republicans have to choose between-DeWine,Husted,Rennacci, and Taylor.
Democrats chances of winning the 2018 OH Governors Race is based on how well Democrats do nationally.

10. The major lesson in Ohio from '16 is that Dems can't regain the governorship with a dreary candidate

who panders to the Right on major issues.

A firebrand who spoke truth to power about what the last thirty-six years have done to workers would have had a chance.

It's about turnout.

Timid, deferential centrists can't inspire high turnout there-or anywhere else.

11. Thanks for the update.

8. I like what he says

but I dislike hearing him say it so much that I only read his remarks. It's not my top priority, but I would rather have a president who I want to literally hear from. Especially after this unbearable one.
