Is Adam Schiff presidential material? Asking for a friend.

[Atman]

Seriously, I don't know much about the guy, but he seems to have a lot of what many Dems have been looking for; he's tough, he's smart, he doesn't take any b.s., and almost more importantly, he's a relatively young, fresh face for the party, not one of the same ol' names we've been hearing since we were kids. Right now, I'd vote for him just for the way he's handled Trump! If he's that tough with our own POTUS, I think he'd be great on the world stage dealing with other world leaders.

1. He looks like a VP to me. Don't know why.

[Vinca]

14. Me, too. And I don't know why either. He seems perfect for VP.

[JDC]

15. He seems like VP to me also.

Probably could hold his own as Speaker though.

2. He is a keeper.

California has a plethora of Presidential Timber.

3. no way

He has no fire. He's not eloquent. He looks like he has a thyroid problem. With all the shit that the House has been pulling, he's been all over TV, but he has no lasting impact.

6. I think he has done great...and I like the guy.

9. Wow--I completely disagree

I find him eloquent and charismatic. He is careful and deliberate with his remarks, yet explains things well enough that anyone can understand (one of the things I love about Obama). He looks pretty darn healthy to me.

4. Attorney General!!

7. It is often said that politicians

campaign in poetry and govern in prose*. Schiff has the prose down pat, not sure the poetry part is there.

Trump campaigns in bad limericks and governs in tweets

*Mario Cuomo

10. When you stop and think of who two of our last three Presidents have been.....yes. Without a doubt.

[monmouth4]

11. He, IMO, is the poster man as Presidential. He has it all and I would vote for him in a heart

beat if he were to run.

[Thrill]

12. He has a much better resume than Trump

[Sneederbunk]

16. All DUers have a better resume than Trump.

[gibraltar72]

13. I love him smarte reasoned

I fear he doesn't have a lot of charisma though. I think he'd make a great President. If he could get elected.

[kacekwl]

17. YES

[TeamPooka]

18. No House Rep has made the jump directly to the White House.

Historically they don't even get a party's nomination.
They have to win a statewide election first for Gov. or Senator before seriously considered by the electorate.
He would make a fine VP or Cabinet Pick though we may need all the House Reps we have to stay in the House to hold a majority when we win the WH in 2020

[scheming daemons]

19. I think he'd make an excellent Attorney General
