BRUNSWICK, Ohio — History will record that it was 4 degrees below zero when America’s 46th president launched the campaign that won an improbable bid for the White House.

Or not.

Ohio Sen. Sherrod Brown rallied home-state supporters Wednesday night on the eve of heading to Iowa to launch a multi-state Dignity of Work tour that will play a critical role in deciding whether the Democrat formally will join the multitude seeking the 2020 nomination.

“We fight for our progressive values. We fight for the dignity of work. It’s who we are. It’s how we govern. It’s how we won. And it’s how we’ll win in 2020,” Brown told more than 300 who showed up despite the deep freeze.

1. That crowd shows who

Sherrod’s backers are.

The American worker that feels shut out of the Political system.

2. He fails to excite me. He always seems/sounds frail to me. Does he have health or medical issues?

His weak voice and weak posture stand out as signals to me.

4. Brown is far from being a weakling

As my Senator he answers every email I send him. First an email from the office, then when he can find the time a personal answer.

But the first time I really noticed him was,when he flew back from Ohio from his Mothers funeral to cast the deciding vote for the ACA at midnight.

7. I didn't say that.

Brown is far from being a weakling

I didn't say that. I still wonder why it is that he appears that way in TV interviews and when speaking from the floor? Weak raspy voice, poor slouching posture. Has something changed recently? Maybe it's just the flu or a bad cold.

8. So you base who you vote for on the guy's voice??

Oof.

11. Thank you so much!

Your judgement is noted. nt

Thank you so much! Actually, it's more of a personal opinion than a "judgement".

3. We've got some great candidates this time

Sherrod Brown, Kamala Harris, Elizabeth Warren, etc., any of whom I'd be thrilled to support in 2020.

And then a few not so great ones (Howard Schultz) who seem to be throwing their name in the ring for personal gain.

5. Yes, we have some good people running. I'm looking forward to the democratic debates.

I'm holding of choosing a candidate to support for a little while. There are some people who may or may not announce their candidacy.

Of course, once we have chosen the democratic candidate, I will do everything I can to get him or her elected.

6. Same here, I like them all.

But anyone of them is better than what we have now .

12. Sherrod Brown is a winner

He can bring in the Midwest for us. And I like what I've heard of his policies. I like that strong, raspy voice. Especially compared to tRump's whine.

Pair him with Kamala Harris (will bring in both coasts), top or bottom, and that's a very strong ticket.

[CTyankee]

13. I agree with you. It's a winning team. Sherrod is solid and has empathy.

Harris is splendid.

I can't think of a better team...

[BlueWI]

14. I really like this candidacy.

I hope he and the others get a great deal of exposure and opportunity to share their experience and vision with the country. Looking forward to it.

[Scruffy1]

15. Let the contest begin.

There will be no shortage of good candidates.
