Former Sen. Claire McCaskill (D-MO) predicted Thursday on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe” that “dignity” will be back in the Oval Office in 2020.
Host Joe Scarborough asked McCaskill if the socialist Democrats are hurting the “heartland Democrats, to which the new MSNBC political analyst said she has to believe the party is going to have to sell the American people they are “not going to push extreme ideas.”
“Well, I have to believe that the candidate who inspires but who also reassures the country that we are going to get back to a more normal place in the world, that we were going to have dignity in the Oval Office, that there’s going to be character,” McCaskill told Scarborough. “I have to believe they also are going to have to sell the American people that they’re not going to push extreme ideas but rather push hard for important change that is possible, that we can actually get done. And I really think there’s a number of candidates in the field that have that potential. We just have to see how they perform under pressure, and it’s way too early to know who is going to perform well under pressure.”
