People other than Biden who should be our next president

Viola Davis

Brendad Ickson

Ron DeSantis

Julian Castro. Maybe that would get some LatinX votes.

Coco Chow!

Jared Polis

Gretchen Whitmer

Some hillbilly who can’t find his oversized ass with both hands.

George Wallace. His rested and he's got the experience.

Another vote for Jared Polis.

Gavin Newman (just to see him verbally bitchslap every single GOP motherfucker.)

Another vote for Gretchen Whitmer

Pete and only Pete

Gavin Newsom (CA is the 4th largest in world economy) and Pete or Gretchen as VP.

There's only two people who are going to be running for president in 2024 if Biden doesn't run. Kamala Harris will consolidate the support of the establishment behind her, but she will absolutely be challenged by someone to her left. Bernie is too old and AOC is too polarizing. Bernie's surrogate Nina Turner will likely announce a run. She has nothing to lose and would use it to give herself an even bigger megaphone than her appearances on CNN. Plus the media would cover her campaign like Trump's....non stop coverage.

Beto

Stacey Abrams

I would love Elizabeth Warren but I guess that ship has sailed.

I'm probably in the minority, but I think Hillary should go for it again. Just hire better people this time (and take advice from Bill).

Trump!!!!

Lens Dunham

Ronan Farrow

Billy Eichner

Shia Lebouf

Judge Judy

Chris Mazdzer

Jennifer Aniston

I don't think all of you are taking this question seriously.

I want to vote for Joe. I’m not ready to consider other possibilities. Just, please, for God’s sake, let it be somebody who is electable. There is no electable woman. There is no electable progressive. Beto looks the part and he’s a proven loser.

Joe is fine. He's done an outstanding job thus far and I'm happy for him to continue for the next two years of his first term and on to another term if he wants one.

If he doesn't want one... meh. I'm sure that any reasonable Democratic candidate will be preferable to Benedict Donald and Rhonda Santis.

The best Republican available was Ben Sasse and that bitch bailed on them. (Can't say that I blame him)

I'm sure Hawley is going to run on the R side. His little tantrum about how the Republican Party is dead wasn't just for show.

Joe Biden with Gavin Newsome as VP.

That gurl (Hawley) never tires of running.

Billie Eilish

Gretchen Whitmer says she has no plans to run for president ever. Someone in the Gretchen Whitmer thread that maybe she'll be a cabinet secretary some day. I could see that happening. I think the kidnapping plot probably scared shit out of her and may have been the factor her only having interest in state level politics.

Deidre Hall

Oh sweet, sweet Jebus, let that bitch Hawley run!

The ads taking him down will be EPIC.

I propose someone contact the Doobie Brothers quick and get that song...

It Keeps You Running...

Chris Meloni

Kristin Davis

Lindsey Graham

Jean Smart

Glenn Close

Mary Hartman

Ben Savage

"I'm free!"

Kevin Jonas

"Coco Chow!"

Mitch would love that. Even if he is just First Gentleman, he'd be in the White House. Back when he started they didn't allow homosexuals.

Joey

I know this is not a serious thread, but I was really expecting Andrew Cuomo make a run at some point

Pete 2024-32 🧠 👔 💙

Chasten 2032-40 💅 👄 🍆

Jamie Spears

Terry Bradshaw

Carrie Bradshaw

Rice/Haley 2024!!

Caitlyn Jenner

Chastity Buttigieg for First Lady! 🤣

But the real answer is Gavin Newsom.

No one. Biden is perfect.

Bruce Vilanch

Biden can’t run from the old age home he so desperately needs to be in and Kamala is like AWOL so she’s not even considered. Pete would be amazing, ticks off all the boxes and would seem to work well with the opposing sides. Same as Hilary -THE RIGHTFUL 2016 PRESIDENT- but she’s a bit older this time so it could be harder for her. Liz Cheney might be better because she’s willing to stand up for what’s right . Not caring w which party she’s going after

Henry Fonda

I've always had a soft spot for that guy from Utah. Or is it Massachusetts? I forget which. He probably does, too.

This Lady!

Not the gay one that's for sure.

Ruben Gallegos or whatever his name is. The hot congressman from AZ. I could look at him at speak at a podium for 8 years.

Kathy Griffin, Randy Rainbow (VP)

Ruben Gallego is a fug.

Adele

If we have to rack our brains for a viable candidate then it’s too soon.

If someone isn’t already on most Americans’ radar, then they’ll never be solid enough for 2024.

This should be a list-making exercise for 2028.

Michael Avenatti. Still incredibly sexy - and that's all we need in a President these days.

[quote] I've always had a soft spot for that guy from Utah. Or is it Massachusetts? I forget which. He probably does, too.

Mitt Romney. Another Neo-Con warmonger like George W Bush.

Romney supported gay marriage when he was governor of Massachusetts. Then he opposed gay marriage when he ran for President in 2012.

He's a hypocrite whose Mormon Church sponsors "conversion therapy" for gay Mormon boys.

r58 Are you an idiot or what?

R67 Romney just seems so presidential in a 1950s sort of way. And I rather liked the 1950s.

Josh Shapiro and Julian Castro would be a good ticket...one day.

Jill Stein

Bernie! Bernie! Bernie!

Newsom is a non-starter. Oily and Carrie’s the burden of his two biggest cities having major homeless and crime problems.

Rosa DeLauro

Excellent point, R72. Believe me the homelessness issue linked to the crime in big cities issue would resonate.

Streisand and Oprah would make a great ticket. Who wouldn't vote for them ?

[quote] Believe me the homelessness issue linked to the crime in big cities issue would resonate.

It would. In your right wing circles.

The roughly 330,000,000 million Americans who haven't been to Marie's Crisis, R75.

President Monsoon and VP Patsy Stone.

Too bad Martin O'Malley is no longer in politics.

What all the answers so far show is there is no one other than Biden who can win. That might be unfortunate, but it's the reality, unless someone comes out of the woodwork in the next year or so.

Suki Waterhouse

Taylor Swift

Suri Cruise.

Tom Hanks...and I'm only half joking.

Jerry Brown

Carrie Coon

Bidden is the only person who SHOULD be president.

The other people COULD be president.

Are you ESL OP?

R24 No way - REALLY? You sure? On a gay gossip entertainment board?

R87 Remind who BIDDEN is?

Are you ESL?

Carrie White. She takes no shit.

Mamie Gummer

Mamie Eisenhower.

Julian Castro really had the best ass of the primary candidates last time. He has a nice Native American/Asian looking ass. So I say him!

r89. Biden is the most consequential president since LBJ. I know who he is.

Please excuse the typo. I am sorry to call your ability to read into question.

Your problem is not knowing history.

R94 Uh oh, how embarrassing for you

Julian Castro and his twin are fugs.

Al Franken needs to get back in the mix. He never should have resigned over such a silly photo. It was a joke and everyone knew it.

R96 is a racist who doesn’t appreciate Indigenous and Latinx beauty.

Sheriff Andy Taylor

Snoop Dogg

I agree with you R98. He said the same thing about Ruben Gallego.

Katie Porter.

r95, projection much?

Ruben Gallego is hideous.

R97 But Al DID resign, and for better or worse that showed he's not cut out for a life in politics.

Beto, nothing else to do.

Stacey Abrams, ditto.

Brian Sims, double ditto (or double dildo as the case may be)

Rob Zombie

Vivian Vance

Mason Reese

Sean Penn

Zach Galifianakis

Charles “Pa” Ingalls

Kevin Sessum

Needs a house to live in.

You know what? I bet if Al Franken and the right running mate teamed up they can win. But only if Biden drops out. I'd love to see Kamala take him on.

Carrie Sharples.

Nancy Pelosi

Damien Thorn

Alice Cooper

R117 Damien Thorne just collected $2 Billion from the Saudis a little while ago, and has been using a fake identity. He's not ever going to run for office, He has no need to.

R97, he was accused by like 8 women. It wasn't just one picture

But you knew that.

R98 is the real racist. And probably a freeper too

R72, Oklahoma and Alabama have higher violent crime rates than CA

Freepers are dumb

Dan Abrams

Sam Elliott

ME but I'm not old enough.

M A D O N N A

Mitt Romney

Knute Rockne

Turd Ferguson

Fergie

Jimmy Carter

Miss Zeta-Jones, as a 34-year-old, you should be old enough to run in 2024.

Walker, Texas Ranger

Jock Ewing

Doobie Brothers

Ralph Lauren

Trey Gowdy

Henry Fonda.

Henry Ford

Dylan Rounds

Huey Lewis

None! He’s done more for our country since FDR.

Omg he’s old. Get over it. And he’s had amazing facial work which that alone should endear him to DLers everywhere.

Humphrey Bogart

Rod Serling

The Oak Ridge Boys

Sally Struthers

Don Rickles

The Amazing Kreskin

Tommy Lee Jones

Pete Pete Pete...

On my list of acceptables far behind Pete: Gavin Newsom and Andy Beshear.

[quote]None!

I agree. The next president should be an app.

Heather Locklear.

Dumb ^ but if you want a gorgeous and better alternative, it should be the one and only political savvy Morgan Fairchild ❤️💃🥰

Mark Takano

William Shatner

Jim Mattis should run but he would be considered too white and too old.

Anyone else.

How about Mike Bloomberg

Katie Porter!

Dwayne the rock Johnson. After a carefully crafted interview with Oprah. He makes a tearful plea to heal the nation. He would win in a landslide. I'm not even kidding.

Maddie Cawthorn. He's already quit his day job.

Nipsy Russell

Mary Stuart Masterson

[quote]You know what? I bet if Al Franken and the right running mate teamed up they can win. But only if Biden drops out. I'd love to see Kamala take him on.

I love Al Franken, and I used to think this as well, but I saw him recently in the audience of The Bedwetter, that awful Sarah Silverman musical, and he really didn't look good. He's gained a lot of weight, and he walks with difficulty. He's in no shape to run for president.

Johnny Gilbert, since Alex is ineligible.

Imagine his press conferences, with the President's responses always in the form of a question.

I can see Mark Kelly running some day. Raphael Warnock would be a good candidate too if those evil assholes in Georgia make stupid decisions during the runoff. I still would LOVE to see Sally Yates run either as President or be someone's VP pick.

Marianne Williamson / Nina Turner / Elizabeth Warren

Fred G. Sanford

Andrew Cuomo. Seriously.

Love the idea of a Gavin Newsom/Beto O’Rourke ticket myself. They give off youthful vibes like Obama and Clinton/Gore.

Wonho

Yung Gravy

Young Thug

Megan Thee Stallion

Buttigieg and VP Eric Swalwell.

Tommy Didario

Stephen King (understands that life in America is a horror story)

Madonna (hey - she's done everything else)

Robert Downey Jr. (if he runs as Tony Stark he's a shoe-in)

Dan Rather (at 91 he's still a relative youngster and his Twitter feed was the best thing about the site)

Mark Hamill (if he runs as Luke Skywalker, the only person who could beat him is Tony Stark)

Mia Farrow (couldn't be any crazier than the last one)

Bette Midler (imagine the inauguration speech)

Cher (imagine the inauguration outfit)

Sigourney Weaver (if she ran as Ripley she would break Luke Skywalker and Tony Stark in half)

Paul Rudd (because who doesn't love Paul Rudd? HIM SO CUTE!)

Mitch Landrieu

Josh Shapiro

I'll go with R28. I like Pete, too.

I humbly addend that the above are all in real life committed lefties or at least weird ecological warrior types in the case of RDJ and Weaver.

They might not be too bad overall.

Michelle Obama would win, but she doesn't want the job. A shame. She could win and Barack could do the job behind the scenes. And the country would be better off.

Not this lady or who she supports.

Towering intellectual Herschel Walker and his cabinet of vampires and werewolves.

David Lynch

Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen

Dan Rowan and Dick Martin

Pete! Besides the fact that Pete deserves to be President, it would be a great debate! Trump would not be able to contain himself from exposing his true feelings about 'the homo.'

Wavy Gravy..

Hillary or Condi!

Mandingo

Jenny from the Block

Barack Obama

🙋 I'm younger and still available.

Bertie Higgins

Wow, R193, great idea! Barack stepping back into the ring - especially if the race was between him and Cheeto! And with Pete as his VP, they would be unbeatable regardless of whoever Dumpf chooses for his running mate.

Whitney Houston (hologram version)

Mariah Carey

Pete Buttigieg and Vice Pres Michelle Obama

The Facts of Life girls.

Max Yasgur..

J. B. Prtitzker

David Crosby

Hold my beer, R202

Neil Young

Robert De Niro

Bts

Sandy Bullock

George Bailey

A bag of coke

Pat Paulsen

Lassie with Rin Tin Tin as VP..

Blacque Jacque Shellacque

That's my running mate!

troll

Liza Minnelli

The gay one will never be president. Y'all need to get over that fantasy.

The Troll one will never stop trolling.

They said there would never be a black President.

None of those.for anything except lock-up.

[quote] Along with Greene, the conspiratorial pro-Trump Republican from Georgia who took office earlier this year, the pair both say the members who participated in these conversations or had top staffers join in included Rep. Paul Gosar (R-Ariz.), Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-Colo.), Rep. Mo Brooks (R-Ala.), Rep. Madison Cawthorn (R-N.C.), Rep. Andy Biggs (R-Ariz.), and Rep. Louie Gohmert (R-Texas).

Hillary/Condi 2024!

Maybe we should put the Constitution aside, support world trade, and import someone. No, she's not perfect but Mrs. Merkel's got a sensible enough head on her shoulders.

Best of all, we'll get to export one of ours in return.

Fannie Flagg

Allen Funt.

R. Kelly- He wouldn’t piss away the chance to shower our children with love and affection.

[quote]J. B. Prtitzker

If he ever ran for president his cunt cousin Jennifer would stir up so much shit.

Oprah

Deval Patrick

Short list courtesy of BBC

Bernie should, but de Santis would.

Someone upthread mentioned Ruben Gallego being hot. If you look pics of Ruben when he was younger and in the Marines, he was quite handsome. But, he got fat and grew a beard and ended up looking an overweight high school football coach.

Kevin Sessums

Eric Swalwell

Eric Swalwell is a cunt.

Jon Stewart

I’m in perfect agreement with R25.

OMG, this is embarrassing. I wrote the R 25 response and didn’t even remember it. I thought this was a new question!

Elder Lezzes voting for Elder Prezzes. What could go wrong?!

[quote] "Coco Chow!"

Tina Chow, from beyond the grave.

Gavin Newsom is the only viable candidate to me. With a woman running mate like Stacey Abrams or even Elizabeth Warren.

Chris Murphy

Ole Marsha Blackburn spends too much time on Twitter. Shouldn’t she instead, be visiting an upscale wig shop?

Corey Booker/Mayor Pete ticket for me

Me.

I’ll introduce sweeping reforms, starting with abandoning your North-Korean two-party system.

Departments will be renamed Ministries, Congress -> Parliament, and so on.

I will also forbid Senators (we’ll keep that title) and Congresspeople (needs a new name) to trade stocks, crypto, ETFs, etc.

Also, term limits and a maximum age of, say, 65, so that no one can rule beyond the grave by implementing policies that won’t affect them. You will live to witness the impact of your governing.

Furthermore: healthcare, electricity, water, waste disposal and infrastructure will be state-owned and operated.

And that’s just my first year, bitches!!

Appoint Caitlyn Jenner Goodwill Trans Ambassador to the World.

Admiral William McRaven

I wonder if Caitlyn Jenner is pals with Jennifer Pritzker.
