Does anybody here personally know Nina Turner?

I looked at her web site and it says she is currently a motivational speaker and former Ohio State Senator.
I wonder if she wants to run for political office again.
She has great energy, charisma, and really connects with an audience.
Would love to see her as DNC Chairman.

She will no doubt run, again for office.

And while she does have "great charisma" and "connect(s) with" certain audiences ... she, like, Bernie has the/a reputation for NOT playing well with others ... even those that agree with her.

She is a very unlikely pick for the national chair or even a state-wide office.

You never know how people are different in person.
I just really like her passion.

Dr. West holds that distinction. He was/is completely ineffective as to his purpose in Bernie's campaign.

She had the opportunity to fail on wide-reach media (and she did, spectacularly) while West was confined to the college campuses.
