I'm not thrilled with Bloomberg always waiting in the aisles thinking he's the one to salvage American politics, and at 77 he's a bit past prime, but I've been thinking we need a walk-on to do exactly that. Sherrod Brown coming back after the pack's thinned out seems one serious option (and is Democratic without being totally disruptive). Pelosi's a bit old, and while I like her as Speaker, her speaking style for a an every day popular national campaign seems a bit patchy. I had hoped maybe Steyer would show some strength, but he was probably better at bankrolling the opposition than trying to lead it. The idea of Hillary coming back seems right for a blockbuster or made-for-TV movie, but not real American politics in 2019/2020. Maybe Bloomberg will work after all - not as cringeworthy as Joe (and it's hard to see how Hunter's Ukraine/China stuff doesn't remain a thorn like Hillary's emails/Haiti/Uranium), has the background running New York, doesn't get over his skis the way Bernie & Liz do, would pull over quite a few of the GOP conservatives (who need some way to erase their Trump miasma but can't ever seem to figure out how). Not that I've heard Bloomberg speak in a while either.

Is there anyone else out there?
