She is pretty progressive. She definitely has a shot of winning the Bernie wing. She served as Secretary of state and majority leader in state senate. She also passed a bunch of bills recently to protect illegal immigrants. She also just signed into law a bill to make voting earlier. She also has a approval rating of 54% and she won her election by 7 points.
So what do you think her chances would be in the primary and general?

A little older than I'd like, and the West Coast is not an ideal place to start a campaign, but otherwise seems OK. I don't know how exciting she is.

One of my favorite governors, but I'm not sure how she'd do on the campaign trail. I do think she should run if she wants it.

The fact that she's a bisexual should tell you all you need to know about how Trump will crank up the dictatorial margins among rural areas.

Bisexuality among women is generally less a deal-breaker than among men for some reason. If Kyrsten Sinema can get 60% of the vote in a D+4 district, I don't think Brown's bisexuality would be the thing that precludes her from winning a primary or the presidency.

Yeah, straight men love them some girl-on-girl action.

As for Sinema, yes she can get 60 percent in a district in Arizona, whereas Brown would be running in a larger, more diverse, and more conservative country-at-large.

Last time I checked, she's not even that popular in Oregon.

As far as her sexuality goes however, she's married to a man so it's hard to really make hay out of it or see anyone really intensely caring.
