[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Biden and Bloomberg may be old, but they certainly don't look or sound like it. Biden has the across the board appeal that we need. Bloomberg is a centrist, he has a record of good governance, and he has a certain gravitas. I'd be fine with either one as the candidate. Both are honorable men who would defer to the VP if their faculties declined. I'd love to have a female VP, and Klobuchar would be a good choice. For better or worse, this is not the time for a far left centrist or, sadly, a person of color, if we want to win.[/quote]

Bloomberg is not going to connect with the base of the party. People wouldn’t be energized enough to show up in key states. I think someone like Stacy Abrams would be great with a likeable Midwest guy who isn’t pro-trade. A ticket that connects with [b] middle America AND people of color ][/b] is key. The Clinton campaign took the latter for granted and folks in key states stayed home with Trump on the ballot.[/quote]

I think Beto O'Rourke could do this.  He brought out people of color (Latinos and African-Americans) which Bernie Sanders failed to do, while energizing young voters like Sanders but also being able to win over moderates.  Even though he lost Texas, the election was very close in deep red Texas.  He could easily win a lot of swing states with this grassroots campaigning.

Just hope the Dems don't go with another boring candidate and lose again.[/quote]

+1 young, likeable and no baggage. He’s the anti-Hillary (and the anti-trump) [/quote]
