Democrats who need to be out front campaigning for November 2022

Jamie Raskin is absolutely the guy who will give it back better than he gets it. He has delivered some withering responses to Republican ignorance.

Eric Swalwell also has a way of just getting under their skin and shovelling the crap right back at them.

Ruben Gallegos, surrounded by idiots in Arizona like Paul Gosar and their state senate President Karen Fann is one of the most popular politicians in the state. He gets people's attention and doesn't mince words.

Rashida Tlaib can bury anyone in a debate and she gets her message across.

And I will always be a big supporter and advocate of Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. Sharp, intelligent, and can pick apart Republican flaws every time.

The gist is: "I think XXX is a great speaker, i think he/she should run for office (if not an elected official), or should be the voice of the Democratic Party (if an elected official).

One of the early lessons I picked up as a Ward Committeeman was: "Never confuse your own opinions and biases with those of the electorate". Anyone who posts here is nothing close to an ordinary voter. Most of them aren't paying attention to politics at all, much less looking for someone to "own the conservatives". A Congressperson who "gets under their skin" or "gives it back better that he gets it" isn't, in my 40 years of political experience, doing anything to attract voters we don't already have.
