I know it's too early and we should think about 2018, but I can't help think about 2020 and I am so impressed with Joe Kennedy.
He has the right stuff.

But then again Obama was only 45/46 when he ran.....is 40 too soon?

Still think after the carnage of 2016, that they will get someone from the mid-west - some like Klobuchar on the ticket.

Then again, Trump has rewritten the rules on who or what becomes President......so anything is possible. I like him, young affable, could be our own Trudeau, photogenic, friendly and sellable.

He would do really well with young people and Gen-Xers. He would do well with older folks who remember JFK.
He would be compared to the old man Trump. Borrowing from 1960: full of vigor.
He would be a hit with the Democratic base for sure.
