The Search for the next Obama

[Blue3]

We need the next FDR at this point.


EDIT: And ninjaed by GoTfan.

This.

And we have to hope trump continues acting like some Jimmy Carter who barely defeated Ford/Nixon to make even that work.

Who the hell would that next FDR be though?

The Democratic bench is so weak right now. Corey Booker? Kirsten Gillibrand? I feel like none of the names floating around right now can fill that much needed role of "next FDR."

I feel like Bernie was close to being that guy, but he was too old and little too "out there." 

Technically FDR ran on a fairly conservative platform before getting into the presidency and then realized he needed a much more expansive, left-wing solution. So maybe we should look for someone who runs as a semi-conservative but is actually left-wing? I don't know, the exact analogy doesn't seem to fit modern politics that well.

But I do agree that the Democratic bench is very lightweight at this point. Maybe Kamala Harris? I'm not sure.

That's close to what I thought Hillary would be.

Democrats were searching for "the next JFK" until Obama, so probably not for a while.
