I wonder if his boy Robin Meghan McMassie will be is VP choice?

quote:

In recent months, Khanna has helped lead the charge around the Epstein case, meeting with victims and pushing for the full release of court documents. In doing so, he’s shifted the political narrative – framing the scandal not just as a saga of abuse but a broader flashpoint of wealth and power.


quote:

Now as Khanna considers whether to run for president in 2028, he is quietly positioning himself as a leading voice in the progressive lane — one that could dominate if Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) decides to run for the Senate instead.

“It put him on the national stage in a new way and it has cemented his ability to run for president if he wants to,” said Democratic strategist Adam Parkhomenko, who has known Khanna for more than 10 years but acknowledges he hasn’t always agreed with him on policy.


quote:

“He was on the ground floor of telling this story and linked that to a larger story about this larger construct in politics that permitted it to happen,” said one top Democratic strategist. “That’s really skillful.”


quote:

They also think he’ll be able to tout his efforts on the Epstein case; Khanna can argue he teamed up with Republicans including Rep. Thomas Massie (Ky) to tie Speaker Mike Johnson’s (R-La.) hands and force a vote on legislation to release the Epstein files.


“It’s a very compelling story that he can take directly to voters,” the strategist said. “And AOC doesn’t have a story like that to tell.”

Narrative. All about the narrative.

I don't trust polls, but it is interesting you never see polling ranking Epstein files with other "issues" (economy, immigration, taxes, education, foreign policy).

I'd imagine it would rank at the very bottom of most polls.

Nope.

True victims aren't playing these games.

The "victims" making a game of it aren't the kind Ro and his pals really want you looking at too closely.

Yea screw holding people in the highest forms of government to account! Sadly, I also believe it would be in the bottom of what most want.

That 47% democrat voter base will not budge. It's the RINO's and the Independents that I'm watching.

Ladies and Gentlemen we (America) have entered a new era - the era of the total inability of the democrat voter base to connect the decline of America to the policies of morally bankrupt democrat legislators and Presidents.

Recently I saw pictures of the crumbling infrastructure in South Africa. I thought I was looking at the crumbling infrastructure in any democrat run city in America (Pacific Palisades included)

Vivek was thrown to be governor of Ohio. Mostly because Americans don't want an Indian as president. Because they aren't Christian.

So will Ro get the same treatment? Democrats will tout him as a Bipartisan moderate LOL.

After midterms MASSIE Will be someone's vice president... Desantis or Ro?
