Dec 2016

so i am not 100% about Cuomo. Becerra can leave AG position in 4 years.

Deval Patrick is def a consideration, as is Cory Booker, Julian Castro, Tom Perez.

Warren is too old. OR will be by then. I dont think she wants to either. IF sanders runs he will likely lose again.

Tulsi Gabbard would NEVER make it out of a democratic primary. NEVER. she is quite conservative and we only dont recognize that because she supported Bernie, but minute she herself is in the limelight, that candidacy is over.
