    My pick would be Gov. Gavin Newsome of California. My reason is that he has experience running a large government that is so huge that if California were a country it would have the 4th largest economy in the world. He’s also tall, attractive, has that Obama-like charisma, and just looks presidential.

    RFK Jr. For the sole reason that he would get the JFK assassination records released that Presidents Trump and Biden both, like good puppets, have allowed the CIA to continue illegally withholding. Or least RFK Jr. would die trying.

    Here’s a video of Hannity being destroyed by Newsome on his own show. Also in the video is more factual information blowing right wing talking points out of the water.

    I dunno, but I hope a backup plan is in the works in case Biden can't run.

    I can't believe I even care who the Dems put on the ballot. Look what Trumpism has done to me.

    Agreed. He has government experience, business experience, and legitimate military experience in his background.

    Its either Whitmer or Pritzker, the left doesnt hate them and moderates/libs like them and have sensible records. Newsome is like a slimier Mitt Romney, no thanks. LMAO at the Buttigieg people, he's not even an effective transportation secretary and has never won anything outside a mayor's race.

    Wow, that's an ugly beatdown, isn't it?
    Hannity says Biden has been a failure with the economy. Newsom lists jobs figures. Hannity says they don't count, they're not real. Newsom lists more jobs figures. Hannity changes subject ...

    Does military experience really mean anything anymore, especially to republicans? I mean the former guy got elected despite attacking a former POW and called those who died on Omaha beach “suckers.” In fact I don’t think we’ve had a president who served in combat since George H.W. Bush.

    What hasn't he been effective at? He was part of the infrastructure bill and spending. I guess you could lay port issues at his feet if you wanted, but I'm not quite sure how he could be responsible for the logistics and shipping issues from Covid.

    He didn't cover himself in glory with the railroad accident, that alone should disqualify him

    Slick Willie Clinton saw some combat. Hillary threw at least one table lamp at him.

    Does it mean anything to Republicans? Likely not when it's a Democrat with the military experience.

    Does it mean anything in general regarding understanding actions that put people in harm's way, or experience with putting the country above personal betterment in a very real and demonstrable way? Absolutely.
