I'm not saying he has any chance of ever being elected president, but I do have to disagree with the bolded.

*5 years in the House of Representatives
*three-term MD State Senator in Maryland, where he also served as Majority Whip
*former professor of constitutional law for 20+ years

Agree. The candidate will need to appeal to a fair number of Republicans and Independents. Raskin doesn't cut it. Too far left.

The PP you’re replying to is a RWNJ, an elitist one. Is it Tucker? No one knows.

+1 He is a Constitutional scholar. He is my Md rep. He is very accessible to his constituents and is a genuinely kind person.

I’ll vote for any dem, with decent character, at this point. That’s all that matters. Wish more dem voters were like me 😂

Maybe he only wants to be in congress. If he wants to be the president, he should campaign for MD governor this year.

No. He comes off as too arrogant and too elitist.

Wife implicated in shady Reserve Trust affair.

Not sure if it will matter; Hillary was implicated in Whitewater controversy and Bill was elected. But times change.

Sounds like you don't like educated people. I personally prefer my leaders to be educated--and ideally smarter than me.

You clearly have never met him in person.

No one outside of the DMV has ever heard of him. The House is not a launching pad for future presidents.

This is an interesting idea.

Is he "qualified" (whatever that means anymore)? Yes

The rest of it surely matters though, all of it. And that is why the democrats need a MUCH better "apparatus" than we currently have. Our campaign strategy/positioning mechanism is terrible.

I'd do whatever I could to support him.

PP said "comes off as", what is what matters to the average voter.

He’d make a great attorney general.
