66. It's imperative for us to win seats in the 2018 midterms

Out of your poll choices it would be Joe Biden hands down.

I'd really like to see any of the following run for 2020: Steve Bullock, Sherrod Brown, Julian Castro, Eric Garcetti, Eric Holder, Chris Murphy, and Joe Kennedy.

I would love to see a woman run too, although I would be worried since Trump is an infantile misogynist creep. I wouldn't want any woman to endure the treatment from Trump that Hillary dealt with. (bathroom break comments, lurking while checking out her backside, being called names, etc.) This terrible treatment is still etched in my memory.

If we're just going to throw celebrities in the White House from now I vote for a George Clooney/Leonardo DiCaprio ticket.
