Sherrod Brown for 2020? Sounds like he hasn't ruled it out.

I don't know much about him, but whenever I've seen him on tv, I've liked him personally and what he had to say.

The Washington Post has an article about the possibility. https://www.washingtonpost.com/lifestyle/style/sherrod-brown-thinks-he-could-have-helped-democrats-win-in-2016-but-what-about-2020/2017/07/23/168ac16c-6b2d-11e7-b9e2-2056e768a7e5_story.html?utm_term=.941780e2c543

He's from Ohio. He appeals to the Rust Belt and to union workers. He speaks like an average Joe. He's smart & informed. He seems energetic & passionate, but serious.

The article says Clinton almost picked him as VP running mate. Imagine the difference that might have made. Wisconsin, Michigan, Ohio? Interesting.

otherwise in this red state we will likely have two repubs. One is bad enough.

6. The article says that's why Clinton didn't pick him as running mate.

The Repub governor would've appointed a Republican to replace him, if Clinton won. And they couldn't spare him in the Senate.

Liberal, plain speaking and that gravel voice. Plus a good looking guy which helps.
