He is very attractive! I thought maybe Hillary could choose him for VP... but then he might be better positioned to run on his own if/when he becomes governor of California. Just speculating.....

Bill Maher even said he is "dreamy"! LOL

I would like all of the above to say they want to run and then as it is legal, 'suspend their campaigns' when the time is right.

That's how republicans play the 'legal' game and I want Ds to 'play' too!

They'd never do it though! But maybe we could let presidents run 3 times, its just a little law change.

I was worried President Obama would not want to run the second term, he took a long time to discuss with his family first

the second most likely next President. That is not a matter of who I support. I would support Sen. Sanders followed by Sen. Warren. But in terms of how I think things will more than likely play out - I would say it will probably be Hillary - but it might be Jeb. My one almost certain prediction for 2016 is that Goldman Sachs will win and the people will lose.
