We already had the best two prospects for our first woman president. n/t SheilaAnn Feb 22 #1

But is that some Dem consensus somewhere? CTyankee Feb 22 #2

I think because they are women, sad to say. n/t SheilaAnn Feb 22 #3

Besides Vance, I expect Brian Kemp, Glenn Youngkin, and maybe Don Jr to be in the mix. Celerity Feb 23 #4

If so, I would like to offer you Chris Murphy, my white, straight Democatic Senator from CT. CTyankee Feb 23 #5

yes, Chris Murphy is deffo on my list of potential Dem candidates for 2028 Celerity Feb 23 #6

an outstanding choice. WarGamer Feb 24 #7

+1. It is our ugly realty. dalton99a Feb 26 #12

Whitmer and Pete Buttigieg are both Michigan residents now DFW Feb 25 #8

What do you think about Chris Murphy? CTyankee Feb 25 #9

Frankly, I don't know much about him DFW Feb 25 #10

Oddly, he's a CT senator who is not a Yalie. CTyankee Feb 25 #11
