I don’t get a vote but I would think Newsom is the logical choice.

There's a ton of criticism there about how he handled the pandemic and how bad homelessness and crime has gotten under his watch. Again if they bypassed Harris for him, black voter turnout would likely be abysmal.

It doesn't. It's all fantasy. It's going to be Biden vs. Trump.

I can't stand Bob Costas .... but he makes a valid point.  I wasn't even in favor of Biden as the candidate in 2020; Reagan was stricken with dementia during his first term in office, and Americans recognize him as this great President when, in reality IMO, he wasn't even a very good one.  He was just about 70 when he took office, and I felt at that time that's just too damn old.

Electing Biden should have come with the formula of grooming the VP to take over.  They selected Kamala Harris for some reason.  There's only ever been one black President; expecting there to be an appetite for a female black President seemed a big ask.  Naturally, Harris has turned out to be less popular than Biden.

It's ridiculous that conservatives are still behind the idea of putting Trump back in office.  It's not as ridiculous -- but still ridiculous -- that Democrats never had a successor ready for the 2024 election.  Trump is the only candidate Biden can beat, and I think Biden/Harris is the only ticket Trump can beat

In future elections there are some democratic governors who might make good candidates. Dude from Kentucky, Shapiro here in PA. I just don't see some great candidate emerging in the next few months. It's going to be Biden or Harris. 

Would have like to seen a guy like Fast Eddie in the WH back in 2000 instead of W.  Dem leaders today have swung too far to the left to follow the shift in the younger generation.  We don't have a good selection of centrist Democrats anymore in the mold of Bill Clinton, Ed Rendell

Biden's extremely close to the Clinton mold.  Meanwhile, Republicans don't even remotely subscribe to the same ideology as they did 25 years ago.   If you’re worried about a party going to far to the extreme, worry about the GOP.

Uhh, not sure if you've noticed, but results don't really matter for dems. If they can stomach voting for a literal vegetable like Biden, they'll pull the lever for Newsom. Sure, he is an absolute trainwreck of a politician who destroyed one of the most beautiful resource-rich state's in the country, but he's not Trump and that's really all that matters to the lemmings. Plus, he's a good-looking dude, he can actually speak in complete sentences, and doesn't fall over on camera regularly. A real triple-threat.

 There are numerous examples of Biden's political views drastically changing over the past several decades

Newsom would absolutely dismantle Trump in a debate.  I'm not just saying this because I'd love it, but I actually think he'd make Trump cry.  If not on stage, he'd definitely do it backstage.

Yeah and all the Moderate Republicans have been purged from the party. I should know, I used to be one.

Ironic, because if he would have just maintained a good basketball triple threat position and not tried to be Skip To My Lou, he wouldn't have destroyed that little Chinese kid on camera.

All pale in comparison to the bag of chips which now double as portable oxygen tanks. And what about candy bars?  They shrunk em down to unmarketable portions, so now they sell "double size", 20% more than the original length at twice the cost!!!  Late stage capitalism is a doozy ain't it?

If this leads to less fat people, then it's a win.

1. Newsom is unelectable based on what is going on in CA. Just Google Oakland crime.

2. Trump isn't going to show up to debate anyone

I'm not looking for Newsom to be the Dem nominee.  But he'd definitely make Trump cry.

CHIPS act is an underrated win that will pay off for decades 

 

Biden admin providing $1.5 billion to GlobalFoundries to make computer chips in New York and Vermont
