If Eric Holder Makes A 2020 Run...

[Pete Wrigley]

He has my vote already

Of course, he is the foremer AG under Obama and he was recently on Larry Wilmore's podcast, where he mentioned he is considering a run.

What are your thoughts? Hell, what do you think his chances are against Trump?

 

[Jhoon]

I feel like there should be an official 2020 thread.

The DOJ did nothing to prosecute the bankers.

My ideal candidate would want to create tougher restrictions on their movement, and finally criminalize their behavior.

 

[Worthless Loser]

He wouldn't make it out of the primary honestly. He'd lose to Biden (if he runs) and Kamala Harris. If he won the primary on a miracle, he'd get demolished by Trump. All his bigot supporters will make sure they vote Trump just to make sure he doesn't stand a chance.

 

[☑︎#VoteDemocrat]

He's too radical for white America.

Thats a fact, and you know it.

 

[acri1]

Obviously I'd vote for him, but he wouldn't have much chance.

Another black man on the ticket would mobilize the GOP bigots to vote, and he wouldn't be able to counter that with charisma the way Obama could.

 

[Professor Emeritus]

I can't believe this would even be considered. He's never run for public office in his life and he's not popular enough with any constituency.

On the right he's hated for Fast and Furious, the dropping of the case against the NBPP, and his close association with Obama.

On the far left he's distrusted for his refusal to prosecute the banks, his support for drone strikes, and his prosecution of whistleblowers.

The Marc Rich case will come up too, making him look like a Clinton tool and another part of the corrupt establishment.

Who is he listening to who is suggesting a run?

Very unpopular opinion coming.....


As much as it pains me to type this, I have to keep it a buck with y’all.

A person of color, whether black or Hispanic, will not stand a chance of winning the presidency in 2020. This country just showed you that it’s still racist ass fukk, and will elect an unintelligent unqualified racist sexual abuser as President just because a black man showed the world for 8 years how smart Black Americans are.

There is no way that they will allow it to happen again anytime soon.

The Democrats best bet is to run Joe Biden at the top of the ticket with either Kamala Harris, Cory Booker, Julien Castro, or maybe even Eric Holder as his VP.

 

[Berniewood Hogan]

Run Dwayne Johnson, I'm telling you.

Arnold and Ventura already proved this works.

Yup! If he ran, he'd be out of the race after New Hampshire.

 

[Geek Nasty]

I don't have anything against him, but nothing about his career ever said "he needs to run for president" to me

 

[Baka's Weird Case]

i dont think a former attorney general, unless a widely beloved figure, is going to really rile up people to get out and vote. especially because he isnt used to running in elections like that

i think you took the wrong message away. to me, the last election showed that the democratic partys base is people of color now, NOT the educated white people or organized labor people thought it was. the most important thing is for the dems to make sure people of color vote. the racists are going to vote for republicans no matter what, dont even bother with them, but try to get some of the educated or organized labor whites who arent completely gone. but the priority should be non-white voters.

Consider this, Kamala had to wash her career by becoming a senator first...

No one likes cops breh

People like "statesmen/women" as leaders.

it's not right, but it's the reality of the current situation. i honestly think the dems have to run a young, energetic white guy in 2020 to beat trump. he just beat the most entitled white woman since Catherine the Great.

 

[Arithmetic]

Dems will use him and his legal mind to expose rethugs for their crimes and negligence

 

[Json]

Fast and Furious would sink him.
