Sen. Sherrod Brown (D-Ohio), who is mulling a bid for president in 2020, said Sunday that he doesn't know if he would be the best candidate to challenge President Trump.

“I don’t know. … I’ve said before, I didn’t dream all my life to be president, I wanted to play center field for the Cleveland Indians. That door has apparently closed," Brown said on CNN's "State of the Union."

But Brown added that he has been "pretty overwhelmed" with the number of people who approached him about running after the midterm election and said he believes his record of supporting workers would appeal to voters across the country.

Brown said he would fight for "better tax and trade policies," better health care and better consumer protections.

1. You would be a better center fielder than Dotard so run.

3. You know, of course, is that there are people who can find this out through experts who examine

the likely field of contenders, what the Democrats say in polls and look at your relative strengths and weaknesses and put it all together for you.

But there is a lot we don't know but will find out between now and 2020. Stay in there Sherrod. Give it your best shot. Accept the VP if offered.

I personally prefer a woman candidate and now support Kamala Harris. But you'd be an excellent choice of VP for her...

5. I like him a lot too. I really like Adam Schiff but seem to be alone on that one, Brown would

definitely be my next choice.

4. Good guy, but no,

he's not the one.
