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.

Carter, Clinton, Obama...

To name a few who benefited from the public knowing as little about them as possible.

I might not like all of the Republican candidates, but they all have a long history people can reference.

I agree with your take on this, and it’s purposeful on their part.

I’ve barely heard of him. But then again in 2005 I’d never heard of Barack Obama.

The benefit of being a relative unknown is the ability to control the narrative of who you are.

Swing voters out there don’t read FR or DU.

Sen. Chris Murphy (Communist Idiot, CT) is an America-hating, freedom-hating liar who works to advance the interests of America's enemies such as the Iranian mullahs.

So he would make a perfect candidate for the Democrats.

Ugly a$$ Murphy reminds me so much of John Edwards.

He’s a lying sleaze.

Murphy?

No, it’s Hillary.

No, it’s Michelle O.

No, it’s Chelsea.

No, it’s McAuliff.

No, it’s Harris.

No, it’s Fauxhauntas.

No, it’s Biden.

No, it’s Bernie.

And on and on and on ...

We will see more of these articles pushing certain preferred people as the only one who can save the party and become the next Dem presidential candidate.

Pubbies did it last time around. Of course, the never-Trump Pubbies will be doing it again for 2020.

YAWN!

But....but....he’s white!!!!!!!

Not a problem. Democrats will let Murphy campaign in Blackface and claim that it's a tribute to Africans while also being a f-you to white supremacy. They'll buy that.

Maybe I’ll be wrong, but I don’t think the Rats dare run anyone except a black man, a woman, or the piece de resistance, a black woman. Pick a female Hispanic as the VP candidate and all the bases are covered.
