We could have 20 candidates. (We likely will)

Just imagine the lineup-....No fundraising, no primary election. Free publicity.

"Here's your chance! ANYONE can run for president!!!"

Anyone can run!!! No filing fees are needed!!

This will attract everyone and their dog to run for POTUS.

Marianne, Andrew Yang, Dean Phillips, every perennial candidate imaginable will be there. Their speeches will last forever.

Then you will have all the infighting:
Kamala is next in line.
I want Gavin.
It's Bernie's turn.
I want Lloyd Doggett.
I want Gretchen.
I like that Kentucky governor...what's his name?
We can now draft RFK Jr as a Democrat!!!
Let's have a real progressive this time.
Let's have electability.
Can you define electability?
We need to run a Palestinian.
We need to nominate the first gay president.
I think we need to go with trans.
You forgot about a Latino president, let's nominate Castro.
No we need Henry Cisneros, the other HUD Director because failed HUD Director is the best stepladder to the presidency.
It's time for a Jewish president!
But what kind of Jew? Bernie Sanders or Chuck Schumer?
How about Colonel Sanders?
So and so isn't a real Democrat.
So and so is a colonialist.
We need a purity test.
I'm so sick of purity tests.
Oh my gosh, the youth vote! We need to run someone who is only 35.
Seniors are the ones who vote. We gotta pander to the seniors.
The veterans. Don't forget about the veterans
Is "uncommitted" in the room? Who voted "uncommitted"?

On and on it will go.
