If he weren’t the nation’s oldest governor, a ripe 75, Jerry Brown would automatically be counted among serious Democratic candidates for president in 2016.

He boasts a household name, an impressive list of accomplishments in the country’s most populous state — a state some once deemed ungovernable — glowing national media coverage and a deep familiarity with the pitfalls and rigors of a White House bid, having run three times before.

You gotta admit that the words President Moonbeam have a nice ring to them.

[Da Coyote]

The sad things is that this pathetic pothead would be far, far better than the “thing” currently stinking up the White House.

[nascarnation]

Well with Biden, Hillary, and Brown, the Dems would give new meaning to the “Senior Tour”.

[Farnsworth]

Biden’s insane 1/4 brother from another mother-sister-aunt?

[jazusamo]

Moonbeam would surely name his good friend Hanoi Jane to a Secretary position.

[camle]

oh yes! him versus the hildebeast...! please run!

[a fool in paradise]

If Bill Ayers’ pal can take the White House, why not a friend of Jim Jones?

When Hillary isn’t far left enough for you, you have a problem.

He boasts a household name

Jerry Brown or Hillary. Gonna have to think on that one. I really don’t expect the GOP to run anyone capable of winning.

His dad, Pat Brown was elected in 1958, then four years later, beat Richard Nixon, then four years after that, was defeated by Ronald Reagan. Then eight years later, Jerry succeeded Reagan as governor.

Then Jerry was mayor of Oakland, then Attorney General, and now governor again. His life has been about the government.

Cawl-ee-for-nee-ya:

If you like your leftoid idiot you can keep him.

I’d like to see it. He’s flypaper for freaks, and it’s a great way to smoke out the true freaks in the Rat party.

SAVE US!!!

[Farmer Dean]

Even Linda Ronstadt left him.Sometimes less really is less Jerry.

[E. Pluribus Unum]

Run, Jerry. RUN!!!

[Rummyfan]

Why not - we could all use a good laugh!

Jerry Brown, urged to run for president, won't rule out 2016 bid

In what country?

“Even Linda Ronstadt left him.Sometimes less really is less Jerry.”

Have you seen Linda Ronstadt lately? Just think of how Bridget Bardot “aged” on steroids. But then again Jerry married a woman who looks like a man, so go figure!
