I hope Mazie Hirono destroys Tulsi Gabbard in a primary, 80-20 or something alongside those lines, and end her career for good.

Yeah, I would definitely watch Kerry. He must be lending some thought to it or otherwise he would dismiss it out of hand.

Sunday morning talk show watch: Kasich will appear on CNN’s “State of the Union” tomorrow (he’s on his European trip right now, so I guess it’ll be conducted via satellite, or else they have someone there to interview him in person):

http://hosted.ap.org/dynamic/stories/U/US_NEWS_SHOWS?SITE=AP

Curious to see if his recent political moves prompt them to ask him about whether he has future presidential plans.

Inslee was asked about his 2020 ambitions on this week's The Seattle Times politics podcast. Said "It's not in the stars. I'm focused on (being governor)" and pointed out he had been passionate about the refugee situation since before Trump's rise.

Romanian seems like a natural compromise language between a Croatian-American Moderate HeroTM politician and a Ukrainian President.

Scott Walker spoke with Iowa Republican state legislators over Skype last week:

http://fox6now.com/2017/02/14/gov-scott-walker-talks-with-iowa-republicans-before-union-vote/

Walker’s also speaking at CPAC later this week, and of course, at last summer’s RNC, he spoke with the IA, NH, and SC delegations (as did Tom Cotton)....though that was back when most people thought there was a >50% chance that Hillary Clinton would be the incumbent president in 2020 rather than Trump.  He may still have presidential ambitions, yet he really doesn’t seem like a very likely person to challenge incumbent president Trump for the nomination.  So I’m assuming that he’s either playing for 2024, or else hedging his bets in case Trump doesn’t run for another term for whatever reason.

New WSJ story on Amash's trolling of Trump on Twitter:

https://www.wsj.com/articles/justin-amash-emerges-as-leading-critic-of-fellow-republican-donald-trump-1487599201?mod=e2tw


Burnett: But it’s on the table?

Hickenlooper: Oh I don’t know, there’s going to be a lot of things on the table….

Then he quickly changed the subject.

Longtime Cuomo campaign finance director Thomas Giordano has stepped down, and Cuomo has hired Clinton 2016 campaign veteran Gita Tiku to replace him.  Before working on the Clinton presidential campaign, Tiku worked at the Clinton Global Initiative:

Yesterday, Julian Castro joined several Democratic members of Congress for a tour of the Pharr International Bridge on the Mexican border, followed by an immigration roundtable:

You can see him speaking at it about ~20 minutes into the video here:

Who become NY Gov. if Cuomo steps down to run?

Lt. Gov Kathy Hochul, assuming she's on the ticket again.

Here is the video:

https://twitter.com/RoadToCityHall/status/834187485261549573

Honestly, I am not really buying it.  It is not really so much a "pledge" as it is...she says she's running for reelection, and that that is her sole focus, and then the guy asks "You would serve your full term?" and she almost sheepishly responds "Yeah".  It doesn't seem like a premeditated Shermanesque commitment, like Franken and Kaine gave.

However, this does highlight the fact that all of the folks up in 2018 (Brown, Cuomo, Gillibrand, Klobuchar, Sanders, Warren, etc.) are going to have to come up with some clever answer to the "Are you committing to serving a full term if you are reelected?" question.

Who become NY Gov. if Cuomo steps down to run?

No way does he step down in order to run.  He'll run for president while remaining New York governor, and won't quit as gov. unless/until he is actually elected president.

Cuomo's one advantage in the primary is that he's the sitting governor of New York, a big state in which many rich people have financial interests.  Thus, there are many wealthy people who will seek to suck up to him and donate money even if he's in single digits in the polls, because he wields power now as NY governor.  If he quits as governor then he loses that.

Yeah that video context changes the meaning behind the tweet a lot. Her saying this doesn't mean much. Side note, Gillibrand has a higher pitched voice than I imagined.

You should never believe politicians when they say this kind of stuff, anyway.

Also I though the same thing about Gillibrand. The voice should be a minor thing, but I worry that the 4chan lowlifes would cause some pointless uproar about "hysterical women" or some similar BS if she actually ran for POTUS.
