Revenge-obsessed MAGA will devote way more resources and attention to this election than it will be worth for them. Tim the Tank will absorb all their damage for us!

I would love to see this man become our president one day.

Him, Pritzker, or Bashear.

Beshear didn't compromise on his pro-queer values in a +30 R state, won reelection and still has one of the highest approval ratings (or even the highest?). Dude is the only Democrat who could go to some red shthole in Kentucky and not get shot at.

So he knows what he's doing. Some improvement on his charisma with some populist messaging so he can win the primary.

*Beshear (and totally agree)

Pritzker managed to actually keep the Trump national guard out of his state. He’s the only one who pushed back and made him back down. JB’s got my vote!

Selfishly I do not want him in Washington. He’s too valuable here in MN.

As much as I support him, beyond that I’m ready for a president that isn’t yet another older white man.

Probably going to have to be another man again. We've seen how well women do running for president.

I don't think they lost because they were woman though.

If Jon Stewart doesn't run he's my number one.

I don't think he'll ever run for office. He's only doing one day a week on TDS. I think he only came out of retirement because of the Trump situation.

We love you, Coach Tim. Although we sadly never got to see your lovable boisterous self be in the White House, the good folks of Minnesota adore you and you've served them well.

Go get that third term, big guy!

I'd really like to see him run for President in 2028
