Comment on Rahm Emanuel says Harris was wrong to skip Buttigieg as running mate, failed to 'trust in your gut'
Chucklestheclown@hilariouschaos.com 4 weeks agoNewsom has a horrible reputation. There are much better people to run against Trump in 2016 or 2024. People want to claim it was a problem because they were women, but that wasn’t the issue. They were just disliked people. The good news for the Democrats is Trump is done after 2028.

I remember something about him having an affair, right.
Nonetheless, he seems to be competent and he comes off as capable of handling himself well in a debate and in front of a camera.

He’s run California into the ground. The rest of America doesn’t want that. He’s also tied to pelosi.
If you notice his current strategy is acting like he’s running against Trump. He isn’t.

Yeah like I understand all the conservative arguments against Newsom, but he seemed like the most reasonable candidate to me for the Democrats when they have had such an issue finding anyone except Bernie (who is too old now) who has any kind of broad appeal.
Which makes me wonder… Who will run for the Dems in 2028.

Newsom is only popular with a small group. Across the nation he’s pretty disliked. Governors run on their track record and his record is embarrassing.
What success can he show? He’s everything bad about the the democrats and nothing good.
