President Obama and some of his advisers have been pushing former Massachusetts Gov. Deval Patrick to run for president in 2020, it was revealed on Tuesday.
According to Politico, David Axelrod and Valerie Jarrett are two of the Obama alums urging the 61-year-old Patrick to consider a White House bid.
Jarrett, one of Obama’s closest White House advisers, told Politico that a Patrick presidential bid is what “my heart desires.”
“He has the ability to touch people’s hearts as well as their minds,” Jarrett said recently. “I think our country is ready for that now — let alone in three years.”
“He’s kind of a natural to look at because he was a successful governor, he is an inspiring guy, and you have to ask yourself what is the country going to be looking for in their next president after this guy?” said Axelrod, who has advised Patrick in the past.

He is the only remotely credible candidate I can see come out of the Democrat Party.
Guess I'm suffering from POSD (Post-Obama Stress Disorder),
Stevie Wonder could have seen this coming.
Interesting. I had not known that Deval Bey was a Moslem.
He’s clean and articulate just like Obambi.
I don’t see him having much traction with whites outside of the Hillary archipelago, and too many are going to have bad memories of Obama.
A bit off topic maybe, but I’ve heard some say, that the Kerry/Edwards ticket of 2004, will be the last Democrat ticket with two white heterosexual men.
There is just so much pressure esp with Democrats about diversity that they simply won’t allow two white heterosexual men on the ticket. If a white man is the president nominee, he will be under intense pressure to pick a minority or woman running mate.
As we saw with Obama and Hillary, a minority or woman president nominee is allowed to pick a white man as a running mate, but the time of two white men in the time ket is gone. ..
If God deems our nation worthy, He will raise up a strong, Christian conservative who will fit the bill and be SO diverse, the lamestream media can’t attack them without revealing they racist double-standards.
We just don’t know who he or she is yet. :)
Funny you should mention John Edwards. I was telling someone the other day, that I wouldn’t be surprised to see him dip his toe back into the political waters now that Obola and The Gang have packed up and left. He will come out as virulently against Donald Trump, since that seems to garner a lot of attention these days with the libs. “Ahhh cannot buleeve whutt Ahhh am seein!”
Sorry, the first half black Prez messed it up for another black being President for another 100 years.
At least another black libtard.
Yes, but after 8 years of 0bama’s racism “white guilt” in America is effectively deader than Hillary Clinton’s soul.
The Democratic Party is rapidly becoming a one-trick pony.
I thought he had packed up and gone away.
Sorry, Obama poisoned the black president tree for at least 20 years.
Howie Carr will put an end to this...he’s got some classic Cadillac Deval stories...
Obama ruined it for blacks. After what he did with pushing race relations back 50 or more years in some ways; I hope we never see another black person as President again. Ever. We simply can’t afford it. It has nothing to do with color; it has everything to do with their attitude which they cannot change or shake. Al Sharpton going to the WH to confer with obama is all we needed to know that race baiting was going on. That’s all Sharpton knows. It’s all he has ever done. There would be no other possible reason for him to go to the WH more than one time. I’ll give him the one time as a token.
Unless the two white men happen to be homosexuals. Still up for running on a Democrat ticket - (Openly) muslim, homosexual, refugee,naturalzed/pardoned illegal alien.
Yep, you make some good points. Why couldn’t John Edwards be recycled and rehabilitated???
After all, all he did was get a woman pregnant. Not exactly scandalous behavior to Democrats, is it? And it happened so many years ago, that people tend to forget about it.
The half-life of most American’s political memory is two years at most. At four years, 3/4 will fondly remember Obunghole and look for a like kind encore. At eight years, 15/16 will remember him as the man who brought HOPE to the nation. And, at eight years you’ll have a whole new crop of young skulls full of mush thoroughly polluted by public schools and universities.
Look how fast Reagan faded from memory.
What the hell, just put Kamala Harris in as Coupe DeVal’s running mate, and have an all Black Racist ticket.
Jarrett found a New Puppet
