About Russia and any Russia connections, when our election system was attacked.

He does not hesitate to set the record straight and stand up against Trump without any gaffes.

fighting the good fight. Ted Kennedy did more good as a senator than he would have as president.

Many people have no desire to campaign under the floodlights for two years and have every word and gesture scrutinized and criticized.

The idea that everyone needs to be the general or the quarterback is troublesome.

We need to remember that essential work must be done in the House and Senate, too.

she would make an excellent Attorney General, who could restore rule of law.

But I wonder how many have the vision to see the good and the bad?

serve the public has to run for President. In our history there are many congresspeople and senators who have had a lasting impact.

It trivializes our politics and our form of government to think that the only significant position is that of President.

seen by so many as a king rather than a public servant.

And at the same time, as you say, it also trivializes our politics and turns the presidency into just another gossipy celebrity watching TV show as far as the voters are concerned, so they don't take seriously the job the president is supposed to do.

Trump himself obviously thinks the position is a combination of absolute monarch and prom king, and it freaks him out that he does not have the legal authority to do anything he wants, including punishing people, companies, and institutions for lese majesty. He also can't believe that as prom king he can't just expect everyone to cheer him and admire him for being, as he sees it, so extraordinarily popular.

That said, he has a brilliant future.

he's the voice of reason...he's intelligent and articulate...and he doesn't weave and dodge and he never apologizes..he's not old school...he understands social media...and he happens to be Jewish

Trump must not like him....He tweeted his name as little Adam Schitt...

Yes

But if he ran I’m pretty sure I’d vote for him. He has the gravitas of Biden but has the youthfulness for which everyone is clambering.

Schiff has been one of the voices keeping me semi-sane during the Trump shitstorm of the last 2 years. He is always articulate, calm, measured, super-intelligent, knows his facts cold and has a backbone.

He's been at the top of my preliminary list for a long time, and I'd be happy to support him in a presidential run.

He wants to do what he is doing right now.

Eventually, he will run for a CA Senator seat and then he wants to be President.

He is a patient man with his eye on the long haul.

I love Adam Schiff, and I think he's doing a great job where he is. But I don't see him as presidential material. He doesn't have any "electricity" about him. In order to be elected in America, one has to be dynamic enough to develop a following. Schiff's strengths are more nuanced and better suited for a different role.

I don’t want us to fall into the trap of attacking each other. In the primaries, we will be facing each other. In order to prove you’re the best, I don’t think that being each other down. Everything Democratic candidates use to put down each other in the primaries, will be brought up in the general election.

For example, Sanders bringing up Clinton’s speeches to Wall Street and Wall Street donating to Clinton. That was used against Clinton in the general election from the left.

We have an embarrassment of riches. what to do? What to do?

I personally think 5 or 6 candidates is a good number. If we start getting more than that I think the risk goes up for a very divided party, more so than it usually is. The circular firing squad is not a myth

Or is it the other way around? Because voters will NOT be focusing on Intelligence issues as a driving force in the Presidential election.

Love him, but give him time and space to do his current job, please!

Though I think he would be great as VP.
