Really, any of them would need it; even the “black” Dems (Kamala, Spartacus) have little black support.

Deval although a far left progressive will be entering as a “moderate”. The Dems will make big mistake impeaching Trump. Once this goes to the Senate it becomes a Republican political show as Republicans will be able to call witnesses and have subpoena power to make this a Biden trial rather than Trump trial. They will call Hunter and Joe Biden and the partisan whistleblower and Biden will get stoned politically. The Dems will need another nominally “moderate” candidate to replace Joe. That is why you have Deval entering and Bloomberg making noises about entering.

Announcing you’re running is a brilliant way of lining your wallet quickly without doing much.

This announcement tells me that the Democrats have done some internal polling and are seeing an alarming shift of black voters to Donald Trump. Deval Patrick is probably running for the VP spot more than anything else.
I'm sure this conversation has already taken place between the party's leadership and Cory Booker:
"Your campaign is over, dude. Black voters aren't supporting you -- probably because 'Spartacus' is a white guy's name."

Yep... Biden is as good as gone unless the faux-impeachment thing works for the dems.

Those uniforms are probably modeled after the New Jersey State Police:
Interestingly, the New Jersey State Police have always retained something of a military-like culture, dating back to their founding in 1921 ... by Norman Schwarzkopf Sr.

The other thing to remember is that if the House impeaches President Trump, there is a movement among GOP senators to have the trial run as long as possible in 2020 -- to keep all these Democratic senators running for President off the campaign trail.

We need a scorecard for these guys.
They get a P if they are a pervert.
An I if they want illegal aliens to overrun the country and get a ton of free stuff.
R (for racist) if they hate white people.
N (you can guess) if they hate Israel.
C if they are a Commie.

I’m wondering when Danelle Malloy (ex governor of Connecticut) is going to join. I mean, he can do a great job (ruining the USA, like he did to Connecticut!)

Patrick will follow the Obama playbook.
Hopefully voters won't be as stupid as they were in 2008 and 2012.

Hopefully voters won't be as stupid as they were in 2008 and 2012.
Voters didn't know that much about Obama so his team could construct an image for him that many people bought. Patrick left more of a record, so it's going to be harder to build him up into something he isn't.
Plus, first Black president happens only once, and once it happens you can't expect people to get very excited about it. Same thing with Kamala Harris, first (sort of) Black woman president wouldn't be as big a deal as Obama was, or as Clinton would have been.
Roosevelt was popular. Eisenhower, Kennedy, Reagan. But a politician who imitated one of them and hoped to win would be labeled a copy cat pretty quickly and ignored.
