Sen. Chris Murphy A Top Contender For 2020 Democrat Presidential Nomination: Report
The Stonington-Mystic Patch ^ | 11 Sep 2017 | Rich Scinto

Posted on 09/11/2017 1:31:17 PM PDT by LurkedLongEnough

A Washington Post analysis puts Murphy near the top of the list. Murphy has said he doesn't want higher office at this time.

Sen. Chris Murphy’s name is near the top of a list of potential Democratic challengers for the 2020 presidential race, according to a recent analysis by the Washington Post.

Murphy appeared third on the Fix’s list behind former Vice President Joe Biden and Sen. Bernie Sanders.

Here’s part of what the Post had to say on Murphy:

He's also got clear progressive bona fides — on gun control and fighting Trump — without seeming like too much of a Northeastern liberal. He says he's not interested in running, but nearly everyone thinks he'd be an instant contender.

Murphy appeared before more well-known Democrats, such as outspoken Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren, New Jersey Sen. Cory Booker and California Sen. Kamala Harris.

One of the youngest members of the US Senate at age 44.

Seems he hasn't woken up yet to the trouble he helped brew in Connecticut.

53% approval rating, and a haircut from Martin Skrelli School of Haircutting.

Never heard of him. Probably 95 percent of Americans have no clue who he is.

And that’s probably a good idea for the Rats. Run a Nobody.

God knows their leadership is well known to all Americans as stupid, incompetent, morally and ethically corrupt, and worse.

The democrats need to decide if they want to nominate a socialist, a marxist, or a communist. That’s the makeup of their bench.

Or as we call fondly call him here “Senator Forrest Gump” or the “Dumber” part of Dumb & Dumber or “babbling, drooling village idiot.”

Take your pick, they all describe our junior senator. Last time I saw a mouth like his it had a hook in it.

Never heard of him, and I’ll bet neither has 95% of the Dimocrat voters.

California Sen. Kamala Harris.

Not a natural born citizen.

In case anybody cares about the Constitution.

I think the Constitution stopped being an obstacle for either party years ago.

He will look absolutely diapered along side of TRUMP. He will look like a T Ball coach on the gravitas scale. An insider trying clawing a way to look like an outsider. Laughable.

Who can possibly compete especially in business, on the scale of private accomplishment, with Trump? Trump has already been one of us, on the retail side. The same can be said of Trump, politically speaking as well.

America deserves her restoration of testosterone, in Trump. No one is going to be satisfied with anything less for a long while.

Most people have heard of Obama after his 2004 Democratic Convention speech.

The media put him up on a pedestal, and never took him off.

Obama from Illinois had white Iowa give him mainstream cred. Murphy won’t have that advantage. And Obama had Hillary as his opponent, and then McCain. Murphy would have a number of actually popular opponents in Dem primaries and then face Trump. Nuff said.

He's also got clear progressive bona fides

Catch that everyone? Progressive ideals are more important than the Democrat platform. Their party is officially done. They are now the Progressive Party.

They've already changed their name in Minnesota to DFL (Democrat-Farmer-Labor). The DNC will change their banner soon as well... as long as it won't cost them votes.

Minnesota DFL is an affiliate of national Dems. Minnesota’s Democrat Party merged into the larger Farmer-Labor Party in 1944.
