The dems need their own shadow president.

[boston bean]

Be a thorn in this guys side for 4 years.

Who?

The only person I can think up to it is Gavin Newsom. He is sharp witted and smart.

[Klarkashton]

1. Mark Cuban

[Melon]

34. Cuban.....this is interesting

Our billionaire vs yours and a smart businessman.

[NoMoreRepugs]

2. Mayor Pete.

[cilla4progress]

3. Kamala Harris

...

[Polybius]

10. Do you want her to run again?

[Lulu KC]

28. She needs to rest

Not that she wouldn't be wonderful, but she has another whole life to live.

[Melon]

35. She lost in the 2020 primary and the election

There will be stronger candidates.

[Nictuku]

4. Newsome

[dweller]

5. All the above

Team effort



✌🏻

[JustAnotherGen]

6. They just have to.commit

To work together and be relentless.

Right now Harris, Buttigieg, and Cuban have the time to inflict pain.

But for a shadow President? The woman who won.

[dsc]

7. I think we should borrow the shadow secretary system from parliamentary systems

a shadow AG, a shadow sec of treasury, a shadow defense sec etc. I think having one person be a shadow President would give that person too much of a huge advantage in the primaries.

[boston bean]

14. We need simplicity for the ignorant masses.

[BOSSHOG]

8. Let's offer the job to James Comer

Tell him he could be a double agent. That his many talents are needed.

[JustAnotherGen]

19. Dead!

He'd be stupid enough to do it!

[Climate Crusader]

9. Patriotic activists of all stripes who are willing to coalesce and anchor the country against going backwards.

We don't need a Savior.

I agree with the poster who posted "all of the above", but we must all join in the work, from elected officials to the local volunteers. .

[Seasider]

11. Kamala

She may not be everyone’s favorite but she is good at organizing protests and rallies and everyone now knows who she is so she would get media attention.

[Polybius]

12. Barack Obama

If Trump can run in 2028, so too can he!

[Nixie]

16. Yes! I was thinking the exact same thing.

[Mike 03]

13. Yes, yes, yes! Not just a shadow president...

We should emulate the UK model and have shadow cabinet for every major cabinet position whose sole job is to hawk the individual and report on the chaos and challenge them directly on media. Hegseth, Gabbard, RFK, Bondi, Patel...

The DNC should run ads not just before an election but constantly. I know they always cry poormouth. It can't be that bad. If the Lincoln Project and Don Winslow can do it, the DNC can do ads.

[Nixie]

15. Obama...? He can heckle and scorn from a distance and

doesn’t have to worry about image since he’s fully served already.

If Trump tries a 3rd term, Obama can try as well.

[everyonematters]

17. We definitely need a leader. We need a leader to turn us into a major political party again.

It should be Schumer or Jeffries, but maybe they are too busy raising money. The left-wing media is leading the party, but it is not for winning elections. It is about ratings and making money.

[delisen]

21. I think the movement must come together before the leader is chosen

Unfortunately we do not seem to have sufficiently come together yet.
We all need to build the movement.

MLK, Jr. did not wake up one morning and say, “ I think I will start a Civil Rights movement.” That movement was already well underway throughout the south and elsewhere.
We need to move beyond the shock, depression, commiseration stage and build the vision and begin acting in unison to save our country.

[Blue_Tires]

18. It needs to be someone not currently in office

More importantly it has to be somebody Dems can rally behind 100% and someone with the clout to get all the Congressional Dems in line, like the way Donnie had been pulling all the strings of the House GOP for two years...

Who is this person? I don't know....

[JustAnotherGen]

20. Agree with this

As usual - you bring excellent points to a discussion.

[alarimer]

30. Obama, but he'd never do it.

Too hung up on norms.

[Melon]

36. Mark Cuban seems to be a fit

[wendyb-NC]

22. Hakeem Jeffries

[Dem4life1234]

39. Yes!

Reminds me so much of Obama with his charisma, caring, and intelligence.

[JoseBalow]

23. Al Franken

[Nixie]

24. Great idea! He's very smartly sarcastic -- a great

communicator. He is sorely missed.

[Sucha NastyWoman]

25. Gavin Newsom or Eric Swallwell

And I’m not even from California.

[Sneederbunk]

26. How about a go to Dem for each cabinet position?

Shadow cabinet.

[marble falls]

27. I could support that. If he'd do a "fireside" each week.

[alarimer]

29. That would require finding a spine.

Not sure they have any left.

[WarGamer]

31. Californian here... he's not a national candidate.

He can't win in the Mid West.

My fave Governor though.

[Marthe48]

32. After reading headlines

it seems too late

I wish this whole thing would've been stopped when Ms. Clinton mentioned the the vast right wing conspiracy. But, no one took her seriously, and here we are. With the release of 1500 felons, it seems to me that the gangsters have overrun the country. It is like al capone and the other criminals are in charge.

[Ping Tung]

33. Someone dignified and decent like Jimmy Carter.

[oasis]

37. Gov.Walz

[Dem4life1234]

38. Mark Cuban or surely a left leaning billionaire

He is doing too much damage to the nation already.
