Probably not notable, but the dems have yet another contender. Some guy named Seth Moulton. I wonder what his stupid gimmick will be that will be the only feature that differentiates him from the others. Will he reveal himself to be a pansexual? A trans-man? A zoophile? Only time will tell.

>Moulton represents one of the more moderate districts in deep blue Massachusetts and has long been tipped for higher office. But he came under intense criticism after the 2018 midterms, when he tried to oust House Speaker Nancy Pelosi from Democratic leadership.

>At that time, Moulton argued the midterm election was a call for a new generation of House leaders, though he and several other opponents were ultimately unable to put up a Pelosi challenger. The episode culminated in a town hall in Moulton’s district, where more than 100 constituents shouted at the congressman and each other over the future of the House.

>Liberal women in Moulton’s district accused him of ageism and sexism in his anti-Pelosi push. And now, Democratic activists have been looking for a woman to run against Moulton in his 2020 House primary, with one former state senator expressing interest in opposing him. Salem Mayor Kim Driscoll has also said she is considering running for Moulton’s seat if he pursues the presidency.

He probably won't make it far.

Here we go, I found Moulton's gimmick. National security. If he thinks he can beat Trump on this one, he's out of his mind.

>He started with a speech at the Brookings Institution, using the D.C. think tank as a forum to lay out his national-security ideas as policy rather than politics, although stirring up 2020 talk among serious-minded Democrats was the point.

>“It’s time to completely reimagine our arms, our alliances, and our arms control for this new and rapidly changing world,” Moulton said, making his case to me. Moulton sees Trump’s terrible national-security record as an opportunity that Democrats need to take to completely change up their own ossified conventional wisdom. Don’t pull out of NATO, and don’t use every chance to destroy relationships with European leaders, Moulton said, but rethink how best to engage with NATO. He doesn’t think Trump deserves any credit for shaking things up with NATO and America’s European allies.

Boring. I still hope he causes another split in the Democrat party.
