I know it's trolling...but the constitution only says he can't be sworn in, not that he can't run...great way to mess with Trump.

Kasich is doing his best to fuel speculation that he's going to run for president again:

aha yes i saw this. oh boy.

[Mr. Morden]

I like how Kasich's wife telling him that he should be president is a sign that "the country was in trouble".  Did she not actually want her husband to win last year, but has now changed her mind, now that she's seen how bad Trump is?

[Fuzzy Says: "Abolish NPR!"]

I have no doubt Kasich will challenge Trump straight u in 2020.  He's the only one with (A) enough gravitas to mount a serious challenge, and (B) nothing to lose.

At a townhall for the recent California wildfires, after being introduced with applause, someone shouted "Future President" when Kamala Harris stepped up to speak and the whole room erupted into applause again.

A couple of the usual suspects... Kander, Delaney... but people rarely mention Vilsack and Sebelius as potential candidates, why not? Vilsack *has* run before.

Kansas City Mayor Sly James is an interesting figure too.

[Mr. Morden]

Vilsack is from Iowa though.  So I wouldn't read anything into him doing an event in Iowa.  And I did mention Sebelius's participation in this event back in this post:

Moulton hired Hillary's Midwest-oriented national organizer for his leadership PAC.

This was obvious. The only ones still trying to keep this alive are deplorables who know Crooked Hilary is their best bet to get another four years.

Larry Sabato was appearing alongside Terry McAuliffe on MSNBC, and this occurred:

The author of this piece was covering Tulsi Gabbard's trip to Iowa this week, and claims she told him that she's not running for president:

But without an exact quote to offer any context, I'm not going to put much stock in it.

Harris's campaign committee ramped up its spending on the online media firm Revolution Messaging (whose previous clients include the 2016 Sanders presidential campaign) in the third quarter even though she doesn't face reelection until 2022:

Again, she does not face reelection until 2022, yet her campaign spent half a million dollars in the third quarter of 2017 alone.  Lol.

She raised and spent like a drunk sailor just to get into The Senate, against Loretta Sanchez no less...I wouldn't try to tie any logic in the face of that.

More than 20,000 people flooded the event page Friday morning for U.S. senator and former Democratic leadership candidate Bernie Sanders' upcoming visit to the University of Toronto. Due to the overwhelming response, the event sold out in one minute. What the U.S. Can Learn From Canadian Health Care will be held on Oct. 29 at Convocation Hall on the downtown Toronto campus. Sanders will be in conversation with Dr. Danielle Martin, associate professor at U of T's Dalla Lana School of Public Health.

Garcetti's in Las Vegas for the DNC meeting, and is (of course) asked about running for president:

He was also asked about health reform, and said that he's for single payer.  I don't remember if he's said that before.  There are too many candidates to keep track of.

Jimmy Carter talks about the necessity of diplomacy, to avoid war & conflict & criticizes Obama sharply saying Democrats must be held to a higher standard than Republicans. He also repeated both him & his wife voted for Sanders & had some criticism for Clinton.

I think a dovish foreign policy candidate will get his vote, not that it matters a whole lot today -

Saying that he did not think “there’s much hope now that Israelis will ever permit a two-state solution,” he knocked Obama on the Middle East: “He made some very wonderful statements, in my opinion, when he first got in office, and then he reneged on that.” Recalling that “we have 22 votes in our family and Obama got all 22 of them,” he complained that Obama had “refused” to talk to North Korea more, and then Carter lamented the fact that Obama joined in the bombing of Yemen, which Carter says is the most interesting place he’s ever been. (He even tried chewing khat, an addictive shrub that acts like amphetamines.)

Carter noted that in the primary, “We voted for Sanders.” “I don’t care if he gets rich or Clinton gets rich or whatever,” he said. “I don’t want to get into a bragging position; I’m not trying to do that. But I announced when I was defeated I was not going to be on corporate boards, I was not going to try to enrich myself with speeches. I was patterning my policy after Harry Truman.” When I compared the Clinton Foundation with the Carter Center, Carter noted: “Rosie and I put money in the Carter Center. We never take any out.”
