I had never heard about Sen. Harris! Wow! We all know who she is now!

After the stone wall force trying side step her questions, she would not have none of it!

Senator Harris and Governor Jerry Brown are very much rooted in "real reality," and their thoughts, words and actions are the polar opposite of the TrumPutin shame and embarrassment.

Either could be paired with Kennedy as well.

I'm sure there are more to be considered but they are all relatively young, which is what we need.

We've got some good candidates.

Anyone else have favorites?

Heard him in the senate and I sat up, saying to myself, this is a man to follow...sadly enough

Saying the same about Kamala Harris! Someone to follow!

when Boxer decided to retire. There was no question she would be our next senator once she put in her name.

She has all the makings of a President one day, imo.

Senator Obama at the Democratic Convention I said to myself He could be President and we know how that worked out. Senator Kamala has the same stuff. She has a lot of promise.

With her assertiveness and doggedness, she would offend the frail sensibilities of fanatical RWers. And they would be calling her a "bitch" which I would love!!!! Because she would be our savior!!!!

And as far as any fake news....I could see her taking them out...lol! We need a strong woman in there.
