Who will they run? I don’t see anyone with any charisma or appeal. Beshear would be a good candidate for them, but he has no personality and that is everything in politics today. Mamdami has some Obama vibes, but he also wasn’t born in the U.S. Newsom is running the most left leaning state in the country and looks like a James Bond villain. If he’s the best they’ve got, I’m not sure that’s going to work. Do we see an outsider like Jon Stewart or Jimmy Kimmel?

Josh Shapiro? The AIPAC money would flow like a river.

Oh, it will work.

He's got nice looking hair. Lots of white women in America won't be able to resist that.

IT will be Newsome. The corporate money will line up behind him and the idiot white women will vote for him.

Of course he will have to pick a POC for a running mate. Jasmine Crockett probably.

That’s who I want, but would also be good with Beshear.

Newsom will win if he’s the nominee. The Democrats will run against Trump and promise retribution.

That is going to cause a rash on the Palestine cheer leaders. The Ivy League elites will shite a gold Twinkie.

This, I believe, is most likely the correct answer.

However, we're way too far out to be making any kind of firm predictions.

In 2006 nobody had ever heard of Barack Obama.

There will be a ton of candidates for the nomination. They've learned in 2016 and 2024 that not having people feel as if they were empowered to choose the candidate means a lot of voters don't bother to show up.

Younger voters are going to play a huge part in the primary because of the demographic shift... that makes it a bit unpredictable.

I don't see how. He'd be running against a man that is much smarter than he is, just as charismatic, and also attractive to a lot of women. Also, a man that didn't destroy his own state.

Come on.

You know you'd take it.

Might not vote for him after, but you weren't in the demographic I was referencing.

Name/face recognition.

And nobody who votes Democrat gives a tiny squirt of pee about policies destroying anything. Cities, states, doesn't matter. It's always the other side's fault.

Look at the ACA.
