I'm with you about a Raskin presidency.
It's also worth considering that Newsom would be brilliant to ask Raskin to be his running mate. With those two we could win a trifecta.
And that's before half of Americans even find out what a wealth of knowledge about how to run the country they'd actually bring. One knows big scale economics, trade, negotiating deals, lots of governors, and how to run the executive branch; the other knows just what the 3rd branch needs in restructuring to harden its immediate enforcement powers.
They'd have at least three former Democratic commanders-in-chief advisements to bring back the best of our current shadow military experts waiting in the wings. With former presidents' experience and lots of Democratic governors' lessons learned, altogether they'd drive enough intellectual, political and visionary power to advance the country into a New New Deal era.
If my wish came true, and they won and made Jack Smith Attorney General of the United States, I would die happy.
