I don't know if Gov. Whitmer has presidential aspirations or not [View all]

But we really need all Democratic Governors working together to fight the con. We need them to keep open dialogue on how to plan, fight, strategize and limit his destruction. We need them working as a unit. Now is not the time to be looking for a position for a 28 Presidential run. Too much damage and destruction is happening now and will continue to happen before 28 even gets here. I realize that some Democratic Governors have to work with Republicans in their State, and I realize that State's do have unique issues and problems that need to be addressed, but going rogue isn't helpful for anyone or for the future.

This advice applies to our Democratic AGs and Secretaries of State too. There is too much at stake and these elected Democrats are the only ones with some power to limit the damage.
