Subject: Re: Who Will Lead Us?
Dope1,

I agree with everything you wrote in your analysis of the Dem governors.

With one exception, unless there is a very major shift rightward (i.e. to the extreme radical left, but less extreme radical than currently) by the Dem base, Newsome cannot win the Democrat nomination in 2028.

Because, while he doesn't have the fatal flaw (to dems) of being a Jew, like Shapiro he is still a very white, very privileged, male. (I'm not even talking about his incompetence as governor, that doesn't seem to matter to the Dem base).

And if he does manage to win the nomination--the radical left core which controls the Dem party will be demoralized and will stay away from the polls in droves on Election Day.

At a minimum, dems will insist on a woman candidate; most likely a so called "woman of color."

Because, don't you know, the only reason Kamala lost in 2024 is because she didn't have quite enough time to run her campaign.

Who is the likely Dem DEI candidate? Michelle keeps saying she's not interested, but she checks off all the boxes: Black,female, radical, belligerent, hates America, Obama.
