Cat (and listener?)--I see in the news that Deval Patrick is planning to run for President. He's a day late and evidently a dollar short, but I looked him up in Wikipedia. He seems unremarkable. What is your take on him?
From what I read, he and Bloomberg are thinking that each of the current candidates has people unhappy with them and convinced they can't beat Trump. The idea is that a new candidate might unite everybody. But that idea strikes me as somewhere the far side of wishful thinking.
