because they didn't defund the police to her satisfaction.
Heh. Because they didn’t cut enough. Because they didn’t release enough criminals.
Democrats realized very quickly that the position the Groups wanted them to take was political poison, and only ended up doing it in a relatively modest number of cities.
You mean…most of the major cities on the west coast? Seattle, San Francisco, Oakland, Portland to name a few?
Then you had entire states like Oregon making drugs essentially legal and Washington banning police pursuits. No, I think the democrats have lost the Law and Order vote for a generation.
Being a governor is a better perch to reach for the Presidency. Being the Veep is also good (but has its own challenges).
Of the last 6 democrat Presidents (Biden, Obama, Clinton, Carter, LBJ, Kennedy) 4 were Senators as their main political claim to fame. Contrast that with the GOP where of their last 7 Trump, Bush43, Bush41, Reagan, Ford, Nixon, Eisenhower) only Richard Nixon was a Senator.
The democrat govs in office today not named Newsom or Whitmer don’t have a ton of name recognition. Whitmer won’t be it because she’ll have to credit any auto resurgence to Trump and she’s not skilled enough to have it both ways.
Newsom will fried by the dem base for walking back his transgender stance…plus his record is abysmal.
So the Dems are likely down to Senator of the week. A Klobuchar or Corey Booker (which is the real reason why he did his filibuster to nowhere stunt).
