Schiff gives him a tingle up his leg. Yeah, that’s a big no.
MSNBC host Chris Matthews proposed the long shot notion of nominating Rep. Adam Schiff to represent the Democratic Party in the 2020 election contest against President Trump.
The California Democrat, who is chairman of the House Intelligence Committee and lead impeachment manager, is not running for the White House, but as Matthews noted, he could be picked in a brokered Democratic convention. After all, frustration with the nomination process is mounting after the Democratic Party botched its handling of the Iowa caucuses.
“What happens … if somebody has 45% or 42%? It’s not close, and nobody else has that much. Does everybody else buckle to that, can you go to somebody who isn’t running?” the host asked a panelist Tuesday.
