| Three more years till the primaries. I hope Kamala Harris and Al Franken are among the contenders.

Mark Warner vs John Kasich.
I'd love to have this actual choice between two good candidates where I could actually vote based on what positions they express rather than just voting against someone.
I know in reality I'll be lucky to have even one decent candidate.

| Amy Klobuchar (though I do love Al Franken, and if he is going up against Trump his humor would be a strong ally).

I'm not sure that I care as long as it is someone that can pulverize a Trump/Pence or Pence/? ticket*.
*I'm thinking that Trump may not make it four years. Of course Pence in the OO is just as scary as Trump. Maybe more so! He's focused enough to actually accomplish something that, based on how he governed Indiana, I'm pretty sure I won't like!!!

Your footnote is why the "impeach Trump!!!1111" talk scares me. We don't know what Trump believes. We know exactly what Pence believes, and every one of his positions that I know enough to have an opinion about is repugnant to me. As you said, he's focused, and he knows how to work the system.
So, unfortunately, I don't think the Democrats can take any risks. At most they can pick a somewhat risky vice-presidential candidate and say it's for demographic purposes.

| I'd like to see Bernie Sanders run again. He is very old, but I think I only disagree with him on illegal immigration and he seems to have much more integrity than most politicians.

Are you saying you don't like all female Republican politicians, or that Republican politicians are like women that you don't like?

Oh boy, another asshole. Some choice bits from his exclusive breitbart interview:
Ayyadurai said his decision to run for Senate was about timing.
He had never registered to vote until last year, when he voted for Trump. “I saw Trump as a necessary force to disrupt a broken system that was no longer serving the American people,” he told Breitbart News. “I’ve always had a deep distaste, since 1984, for both Republicans and Democrats.” He said he’d initially shown some interest in the Democratic Party, but he broke from them that year, after Jesse Jackson, like Bernie Sanders, sold out the populist movement. “Trump never sold out his movement,” he said.
He saw Trump’s victory as ushering in real change and said Trump’s victory was “bound to occur…. You can’t get away with fooling people over and over again. The truth is what intellectual and Hollywood Elites are upset at … [It] is not Trump, but that they lost control over everyday people, who they discounted as inferior — a lower caste.”
The irony re: "get[ting] away with fooling people over and over" is especially precious.

| Without illegal immigration and job export, I don't think there is a President Trump. But both parties still see both of those policies as part of the solution. In fact, Democrats have now elevated illegal immigration to the same sacred cow status as legal immigration.

Kasich- a supporter and enabler of voter suppression as Ohio governor; a FOX NEWS program host, and managing director at Lehman Bros when it collapsed in 2008.
At least he expanded Medicaid in Ohio.
