Adam Schiff for President

I saw in the news that Biden says he never thought Hillary was a good choice for president. I think he's wrong about her qualifications and I don't doubt some of what he holds against her is her support for women's reproductive rights,.

But anyway, for the upcoming election, I'd like to see California Congressman Adam Schiff run for president for the Democrats. He's been visible lately because he's on the House committee investigating Trump/Russia ... you can read more about him and his past experience at the Wikipedia link, but he was in the State Senate and served as a prosecutor in the U.S. Attorney's Office in LA. Here below he has an interview with Bill Maher about all the recent Trump/Russia stuff ....

I like him :)

    I would have voted for Joe Biden had he been the candidate. But he wasn't. I understood why he got out of the race after the death of his son. But it's kind of pointless now for him to be second-guessing his decision. What's done is done.
    Adam Schiff is interesting, someone to watch for the future.

    Back during the election I didn't understand why so many at commonweal liked Biden. To me he seems somewhere between boring and conservative. Is it just a Catholic thing?

      Well, compared to Trump...Boring isn't always bad. Living interesting times is over- rated. Some people said no-drama Obama was boring too ("Do you miss me now?")
      Besides, I thought Joe had integrity, which is a quality in short supply in the present administration. I don't consider a certain amount of conservatism a bad thing either. Depends on what one wants to conserve.

      Of course he's better than Trump :) But considering he's a Democrat, I don't see the appeal. Is it Jean who calls him "Uncle Joe"?

    Yep, Uncle Joe. He speaks to the working class. He knows us. We know him. I bet he knows how to play euchre. Plus a guy who cracks up at the sketches they did of him on SNL when he ran for prez. You won't find Donald Trump doing this. He'd call it a witch hunt: https://m.youtube.com/#/watch?v=Q7JggkDvydI

    But thanks for this clip. Gonna keep Adam in my radar. He's a little more buttoned down than Uncle Joe, but seems like he has a clear head and a clear notion of what would make America great again!

    Hi Jean. Yeah, I first noticed him when they were televising the House committee's interview Comey.

    Whatever happened to the Castro brothers? I thought they were the big up-and-comers.

    Fine. Better to have anybody without a sick mind as president. But is that the best the Democrats can come up with? Obama's $400K speaking fee from Wall Street, $60M from publishers for book rights and vacationing with billionaires shows their true attitude and loyalties. If you can't beat 'em, join 'em, and he never wanted to beat 'em. Is Schiff more of the same or the CHANGE the party needs.
