But filled with incredible depth and experience so I think that’s the trade off.
If you don’t die you get old. It doesn’t lessen your worth as a human being.

Older than I'd like ismnotwasm Aug 2020 #1

I don't object to a single person on the list. Laelth Aug 2020 #22

Should have March for our Lives Kids! SheltieLover Aug 2020 #2

Maybe Beto, Amy and Pete. 33taw Aug 2020 #3

Yep. And there will probably be a surprise or two. Freethinker65 Aug 2020 #7

Pete would be great. Laelth Aug 2020 #34

Tammy Baldwin is a Wisconsin Senator forthemiddle Aug 2020 #55

That would be excellent. n/t Laelth Aug 2020 #60

no correlation whatsoever... getagrip_already Aug 2020 #4

AOC should speak, I think. Laelth Aug 2020 #8

in her own mind maybe.. ;) getagrip_already Aug 2020 #12

She gets more media and Republican attention than anyone else in her class. Laelth Aug 2020 #16

not really... sorry. getagrip_already Aug 2020 #18

AOC is indeed a star! I can't believe there are actual democrats who don't see her worth BComplex Aug 2020 #24

"vast majority of dems"...LoL. Not even close. Budi Aug 2020 #37

No way! redstatebluegirl Aug 2020 #26

+1 (nt) nsd Aug 2020 #28

I suggest you watch the floor speech FoxNewsSucks Aug 2020 #64

I did it does not change my opinion on this issue. redstatebluegirl Aug 2020 #65

I think she will - as likely will John Kerry - as they were the team on climate change karynnj Aug 2020 #29

Thank you for this thoughtful response. Laelth Aug 2020 #35

Bless the older crowd but they need AOC, Beto, and other of the younger people to take the party Srkdqltr Aug 2020 #5

Pete would be great. Laelth Aug 2020 #13

AOC's demographic is already represented by Bernie & Warren. Budi Aug 2020 #14

A lot of those young people are for Bernie anyway treestar Aug 2020 #6

Yes.. Sanders & Warren are both speaking so that demo is well represented. Budi Aug 2020 #10

I'd love to hear Katie Porter. She represents many working parents, single or not, & Budi Aug 2020 #9

I totally agree with that! Katie Porter is so frikkin' awesome! BComplex Aug 2020 #25

Porter is a great suggestion. I hope we do hear from her as well. nt crickets Aug 2020 #44

I am big fan of Congressperson Katie Porter Gothmog Aug 2020 #67

I wouldn't read too much into this list ucrdem Aug 2020 #11

I think it's a whole new ball game this year & standard rules don't apply. Budi Aug 2020 #17

That is far from a complete or final list - why all the pearl clutching? getagrip_already Aug 2020 #15

Because it's what Politico does best? Budi Aug 2020 #19

Cool. Laelth Aug 2020 #20

ok, here is a rumor I heard on facebook... getagrip_already Aug 2020 #23

I hope Greta Thornberg DOES NOT appear. Laelth Aug 2020 #36

Greta knows far more than AOC on Climate so it's best not to invite this global traveller. Budi Aug 2020 #38

She might have some international cred that she can lend us. Laelth Aug 2020 #39

hey, trump invited bojo didn't he? getagrip_already Aug 2020 #63

No WONDER young voters don't vote to keep the RW from persecuting Hortensis Aug 2020 #21

I actively WANT to understand you and respond. Laelth Aug 2020 #27

Another divisive article by Holly Otterbein DenverJared Aug 2020 #30

Oh ffs! Not HA again!! Budi Aug 2020 #32

I wonder if HAHA Goodman was actually only a pen name DenverJared Aug 2020 #33

When was the last time anyone saw anything from HA Goodman? It's been a while. George II Aug 2020 #56

Yes ... HAHAHAHA Goodman disappeared DenverJared Aug 2020 #58

Very strange coincidence GeorgiaPeanut Aug 2020 #59

I remember that so-called member of the press Gothmog Aug 2020 #66

I think this is Politico being Politico -- even worse than age, where are important POC, starting karynnj Aug 2020 #31

Stop. This pity-party is getting ridiculous. NurseJackie Aug 2020 #41

it's another shitty article by Holly Otterbein JI7 Aug 2020 #52

Is Republican Kasich, fill in host for Bill O'Reilly still going to speak? jalan48 Aug 2020 #42

+1 n/t Laelth Aug 2020 #45

No shit. FoxNewsSucks Aug 2020 #46

I don't know...don't want to see a repeat of 16 when those who didn't get their guy behaved badly. Demsrule86 Aug 2020 #48

I can't imagine FoxNewsSucks Aug 2020 #54

Not former candidates...just supporters of other candidates. Demsrule86 Aug 2020 #57

AOC is a first term House member...she will not speak...maybe Joe Kennedy or someone like Demsrule86 Aug 2020 #49

Some of us want to win Ohio in the electoral. But im sure AOC will speak also JI7 Aug 2020 #53

I'd rather see Deb Haaland speaking, or Sharice Davids, or Lauren Underwood, or Ayanna Pressley.... George II Aug 2020 #62

Sounds like a strong list of speakers. MineralMan Aug 2020 #43

Young people don't vote and never have...we need to reach voters who will actually go Demsrule86 Aug 2020 #47

If they feel "under appreciated" ... it's probably due to the fact that they "under-vote". NurseJackie Aug 2020 #61

Young People have never voted. There were many young candidates running in the primary JI7 Aug 2020 #50

Hopefully the Clintons aren't keynote speakers. Leave them out if this Rice4VP Aug 2020 #51
