Just give me a fucking fair primary, please. I'm going to lose my goddamn mind if they ram Newsom through like they did with Clinton and Biden.
If newsom goes for it, like it or not, he will be the nominee.
He has a massive war chest and ability to fundraise and has national name recognition.
He is a centrist corporate dweeb, but at least he is fighting… which is more than can be said for 95% of democratic politicians.
I won’t be voting for him in the primary, but he is a better choice over Harris or Clinton
It depends on how much contempt they have for electorate. And their propensity to learn anything.
I don't like these odds
Didn’t learn much from 2016.
So in other words, Newsom IS going to be the nominee unless Hakeem Jeffries somehow becomes presidential material by developing a personality between now and 2028.
Personally I hope he Jeb!s the primary. The republican electorate very quickly figured out when an establishment candidate was being rammed through and rejected it spectacularly. Let's hope the Dems follow suit this time. There's still a lot of time between now and the primary.
If they won’t learn on their own, they must be taught.
Do they even need primaries at all anymore? We'll just vote for whoever they select because it'll be less damaging than the Republican.
