I think we need to figure out what parts of the Republican base we can pick off while retaining most of what we already have. Trump should implode and we need to be ready. But I don't see the leadership.

Agreed. Schumer probably isn't it. Pelosi is on her way out. There really isn't anyone else in the Dem party that could assume a leadership role, and energize people.

Of course, I could have said the same in 2008. I remember when this guy named Obama -whom I had never heard of- started talking. He quickly became a Dem leader, and -overall- a good one. Maybe we have someone in the wings that just needs to start speaking into a microphone to rev-up the Party? I like Bernie and Warren, but I don't think either of them are it. They're good at whipping-up the progressive wing (and Liz needs to be put in charge of banking again). AOC is too far left to be the standard bearer (if Dems ever want to win).

Here's hoping that Dems have another unknown Obama in the wings...
