Who?
I follow politics to some degree....but at this point, of the 20 declared dems, I had never heard of 9 of them before discussion of their desire to run...or declaration. Sort of amazing that the Dems haven't coalesced any better than the Republicans had in 2015-16. I haven't seen much to differentiate many of them, at all. Btw, how does the small town mayor manage to suck up so much oxygen?

MA guy, tried to overthrow Pelosi et al, quieted down after the mid terms.
Did a few tours in the military, has one or two degrees from Harvard or the like, some questionable start up business involvement, still pretty young.
Always thought he'd run but not for another 4 to 8 years.

Not my part of MA, he's north of Boston, but seem to recall he took office after upsetting an entrenched representative (easy enough to look up but don't feel like it now).

So far there is no “centrist” democrat running, and this is either really stupid and a reaction to DJT or its calculated triangulation. They will be aided in a return to center for a general election by the fawning fellow travelers in the press

Seems to be why Schultz is independent....they wouldn't unlock the middle door for him and he won't go through the left one. He can't win, but I'd like to see him make some people sweat a little.

he should have the resources available to outlast several of them.
Did Biden announce yet?

don't think so....I know he always polls high...but is it possible that dems are getting tired of his apparent inability to make a decision?

Could be...but they might end up too far out on a ledge -- I suppose Sanders might be able to bail them out

If they go all betobookerharris just to get the aoc'ers to shut up for a minute, they could be in trouble -- whoever keeps their head above water is going to have fun getting the crayons back inside the lines between mid-July and early November next year

Trump is a centrist Democrat. The only way the left can run against him, is to go left of Stalin, Mao and Marx. Millenials love Stalin, Mao and Marx. Oh, and Guevara. Millenials really, really love Guevara. Just ask Victor.

I think they’ll end up with a more centrist candidate and a new blood VP candidate in the end.

Well that there is a whole load of bullshcit on a lot of levels.

Republicans own trumpenfurher. It seems pretty weak of you to now try to claim he's a part of a party which had nothing to do with him. Like a child that knocked the cookie jar over and then shcit all over the pile of cookies on the floor.... then tried to feed the schit covered cookies to the rest of the family... and claims they have no idea why they smell bad.

I don't know many millenials. Nor am I a millenial. why would either you or I know what millenials want? You sound like that david wohl idiot.

when they gained all those seats in the midterms, I thought I read the majority were centrists even though all the noise and publicity has belonged to the fringe members.

Depending who they run, I would be a potential return voter for the Dems, even more likely if they put up a team like you think they will.

Great. Good for you.

Saying things which are patently stupid just to irritate someone doesn't make you look great.

Are there any politicians from Massachusetts who don't think they should be President?
