I’d support her, vote for her, follow her. But, would she actually want the job? I agree with @Franko, I don’t think she would.

Really interested in what up and coming black women politicians people actually could see going for the white house some day.
I’m really excited by Nekima Levy Pounds bid for Minneapolis mayor, sadly I can’t vote there any more, but I’ve been following her activism for years:

Of course Barack can’t run. I figured the photo was apt, as he is blurry when she is in focus.
As for Michelle, I’m hopeful. Sure, she’s not as thirsty for the position as Hillary, but I do recognize her as one who rolls up her sleeves and gets on with business when it seems necessary. And there’s the bonus of Barack as a vital aide.
Okay, let’s say Michelle is out of the picture. What about Constance L. Rice?

This idea is looking better all the time. I’m really curious now what her approval rating would be at this very moment.
And of course that right there is a huge plus.
What would it take to beg and plead her into considering it? Sasha has one more year of high school remaining, right?
Well, anyway. If she doesn’t wanna, she doesn’t wanna.
But pretty please?

I skimmed something on the Root hinting that Eric Holder is considering an 2020 run…

Cory Booker looks electable.
Historically, when the Dems nominate a non-incumbent over 60 they lose.

Whaddaya think about Holder, anyway? Personally, I haven’t been too big a fan.

Prosecuting all the Bush-Cheney crimes was his main job, which he did not do.

Not to mention prosecuting the bankers for the 2008 crash.

From the little research I’ve done, and given the list of potential candidates from the most recent 538 draft, I’d say the best three options are Baldwin, Booker, and Gillibrand, in that order.

And I’d say likelihood of being the nominee is that, but in the reverse order

I think that vastly overstates Baldwin’s chances, and understates pretty much everyone else’s (Biden, Harris, Sanders, and Warren, especially). As the chat from the draft says, she has minimal name recognition. OTOH, that may not be entirely a bad thing.
