I actually have things I'm looking FOR in a democratic nominee. And being willing to use all the power that SCOTUS gave to trump, in essence, to the OFFICE of the Prez, for all the good it can do.

One other thing I'm looking at very seriously, which is going to be harder to find is one not sullied by the new corporate democratic pose.
