[QUOTE]The Democratic Party has a leadership vacuum at the top, with many registered voters eager to see someone who is not currently on the scene become the party’s standard-bearer in 2020, according to a new Harvard-Harris Poll survey provided exclusively to The Hill.
When registered voters were asked whom they view as the leader of the Democratic Party, 40 percent said it has no leader.
Fifteen percent named former President Obama as the party’s leader. Twelve percent said Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.), who has gone out of his way not to join the Democratic Party despite running for the its presidential nomination last year.
Eleven percent view Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) as the party’s leader, and 10 percent answered with former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, the 2016 Democratic presidential nominee.
On the question of who should be a Democratic presidential candidate in 2020, Sanders led the field, at 14 percent, followed by former first lady Michelle Obama at 11 percent, Warren at 9 percent, Clinton at 8 percent, Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban and New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo each at 4 percent, and television personality Oprah Winfrey and Sen. Cory Booker (N.J.) each at 3 percent.
Forty-five percent said they want to see someone not on the list of possible candidates in the survey.[/QUOTE]

Forget about this from two days ago.

As much as I'd love to see Bernie as president, the man is just too old. Warren is potentially a viable candidate though she's up for re-election in 2018, and if Baker is re-elected (currently not unlikely) the Democrats would be forced to give up a much-needed Senate seat. She could step to the side in 2018 for someone else, but that also runs the risk of losing the seat AND Warren entirely if she doesn't win 2020.
Oprah stepping into the picture would certainly be interesting. She's incredibly popular and Trump tossing crude insults at her would be pretty fucking risky.
Funny that literally no one gives a shit about Perez or Ellison and the DNC is oblivious
Honestly I'm not sure who the leader of the GOP is right now
if only there were some old jewish guy that everybody loves that would be willing to become the democrat's leader in resisting trump going into 2018 and 2020

Didn't you read? He's only a few years older than Trump, which makes him unviable.

Isn't Paul Ryan basically leading it?

I mean for the time being, but he's probably on thin ice due to his inability to pass a repeal bill, and to keep his goals of eliminating health care coverage and reducing taxes on the wealthy. He's trying to walk a thin line between siding with Trump and maintaining his own ecosystem, and he's not really doing a terribly great job.
Hold my beer, I'll step up to the the plate boys and girls. PLEASE ENDORSE​ ME FP. SYNCED. 2017. And I will promise you that national conversations will be held exclusively on FP. I'm predicting a massive gain in revenue for FP if elected, of course I'll accept 61% gratuity
I find it extremely weird that 10% of people still consider Hillary lary the leader of the Democrats

I think honestly, they sould be no more celebrity-based presidents for while until Trump dynasty is dissappeared from politics and anything else.
There no law within constitution said you cant run from president in that age.
And Warren is still hypocrite from most progressives and they cant forget what she did from last year.
But only thing agree from post is, If Democrats can force give up as means abandoned this Clinton/Obama era centrist/neoliberal mindset to try reconnect left wing of party for real unity and getting back disillusioned millennials through inspired Sanders ideology as start, And there be chance of retaking most of all seats in 2018 and 2020.

Nooo. Oprah obviously doesn't have the baggage Hillary did, but putting up a liberal billionaire sounds like the exact opposite of what the Dems need to be doing. And do you [i]really[/i] want to gamble on the idea that negative media coverage and accusations of racism will suddenly start working against Trump?
If the Dem's 2020 candidate isn't promising gulags, I'm not biting.

We could've had 4 years minimum of prime Larry David doing Bern Your Enthusiasm on SNL...But now we get Melissa McCarthy and Alec Baldwin showing how stupid and arrogant our administration is.
pretty sure its Chuck Schumer at this point.

I'll say it again: Tulsi Gabbard. We need someone with a pulse who can get Dems excited to vote for once.
A sensible man like Jim Webb in charge would probably make me re-register as a Democrat next cycle, depending on how it panned out.

Yeah pass
He thinks the Democratic party moved to far to the left. Let's be honest here, the DNC is moderate.
