It gets even more interesting. I hear from a good source that Eric Holder has been consulting strategists about possibly jumping into the Dem presidential race. NYT reports Michael Bloomberg is seriously considering a late entry as well.

1. ugh..

[Cha]

2. I like Eric Holder but

not sure I want him to "jump in the race".

[madaboutharry]

3. There are people running who have put blood, sweat, and tears

into their campaigns and I find it off putting that someone can come along and think they are so great that they can cut in line. That is how I see it.

[BannonsLiver]

20. This is a terrific point and one I agree with.

[pinkstarburst]

23. +1

This, exactly.

[redstateblues]

4. Sorry. Neither of these Johnny Come Latelies

Has a chance. Big egos thinking they can swoop down and be swept into office. I know I know that’s what Trump did- how is that working so far?

[Miguelito Loveless]

5. Isn't the Russian helping Trump enough?

[George II]

6. I like him very much, but don't think he's presidential material.

15. After he refused to go after the Wall Street crooks, he doesn 't stand a chance.

7. No! Not now

We don't need more people getting into the race. We need more attention on some of the lower tier candidates.

We have a great selection. We've finally shed a few. Not more, please.

[Peacetrain]

8. This!!!

[backtoblue]

9. +1 nt

[Pacifist Patriot]

11. A-fucking-men!

We already have a deep bench. I would enthusiastically vote for at least 4-5 still in the race. No, just no. A hell to the no.

[mcar]

13. That's exactly right PP

I would enthusiastically vote for at least 4-5 still in the race. Me too.

[PunkinPi]

25. This 100%. nt

[Mr.Bill]

10. Is he selling a book right now?

[peggysue2]

12. Oh, Good Grief!

We need to start shedding people, not adding candidates. I like Eric Holder but . . . please. And Bloomberg? Well, at least that would make one billionaire who has actual governing experience.

But still.

[Haggis for Breakfast]

14. Bloomberg ? REALLY ??????

I am sick and tired of old, white, billionaire CEOs thinking they are presidential material.

STOP IT.

[evertonfc]

16. Awesome

I love Holder. He's a badass. They have time. Bill Clinton jumped in late Sept. Holder is qualified and I would probably support him given the current field.

[msongs]

17. the party of inclusion should welcome more candidates nt

[wasupaloopa]

18. We need someone like Holder to get into the race. The best candidates are not in the top tear.

I like Biden, Harris, Mayor Pete but please Bernie and Warren get real or drop out! We need to beat trump!

[tishaLA]

19. I think he'd be really strong, too, if he committed to it

The only problem is that he'd be exactly in Sen Harris's lane--prosecutor who can talk about justice and law, especially in terms of race--and she's one of my two favorites.

21. I see Holder having as much luck as Booker.

In fact, Booker is a lot more outgoing.

[tritsofme]

22. I like Holder well enough, but he is the answer to a question no one is asking.

[TCJ70]

24. No more, please. Pretty sure we have enough. n/t

[Funtatlaguy]

26. Why not add Hillary, Kerry, and Gore too.

[killaphill]

28. Lets not forget Dukakis and Mondale

[Pisces]

27. Please no!! We do not need Eric Holder. He has zero "IT" factor. Boring and ads nothing.

[NBachers]

29. Not the biggest Eric Holder fan.
