I hope you are not suggesting Gavin Newsom is a viable candidate for presidency. His own state brought a recall against him. He's quite possible one of the worst governors in the USA. You cannot be serious with that take. Just can't be. If you are, you are very clearly out of touch with reality.MDlaxfan76 wrote: ↑Sat Jul 16, 2022 6:31 pmIt should be very interesting to see what comes from an open campaign, assuming Biden steps aside...heard a podcast from some ex Obama guys talking about how competitive campaigns are necessary to test the candidates, their abilities to attract and motivate good organizations, their ability to connect to voters...and yup, to raise dollars...without the campaign with Hillary, Obama would not have emerged as battle tested.a fan wrote: ↑Fri Jul 15, 2022 10:34 pmI can't even come up with a name, YA.

Who do you think runs in place of Biden?
New faces, new ideas......badly, badly needed in the Dem party leadership.
As much as I like what AOC did to shut down special tax breaks to Amazon et. al, that are killing our middle class.....IMHO, no WAY is she ready for POTUS. And I can't think of anyone else who hasn't been in the stupid party for 20+ years.
Biden has ZERO leadership skills, if you ask me. And I have no clue who does have them in the Dem party.
Had this same conversation with a long time Dem, in and out of government, retiring...really, really smart gal, engineer, very astute, very straight shooter, midwestern background...she was very strongly saying the older generation, basically boomers and older, need to step aside...from last campaign she likes in this order Klobuchar(but does she have the charisma), likes Buttigieg (but maybe still too soon), likes Booker a lot...we talked about Gavin Newsom a bit.
Newsom appears to be purposely picking the fight with DeSantis to create that contrast early on, making clear how he'd stack up against him...that'd be a credible contest...very likely to be able to marshall a national campaign organization.
Quite agree re AOC; give her two or three more major cycles, maybe a Senate seat...then maybe credible...
