Rather than President Biden who would be the best option for Democrats?

He hates Fox News more than any other entity in the world, so I don't think he was being snarky at all.

 

No House leader is ever going to be president, you are basically making yourself Nancy Pelosi/McCarthy/Boehner/Ryan

 

I think you are correct. I answered the OP as who I would like to see (Buttigieg), but not who has the best chance.

 

Probably but he is very new to it so perhaps it hasn’t stained him yet. But I haven’t seen anything to make me think he’s the next Obama.

 

I think he's reached his ceiling, and its probably what he wanted. The Dems dont really eat their own, so win or lose, he's set for the next couple of decades.

 

Being on the opposite side of the fence I can tell you who I don't want to see and that is Michelle Obama

 

Weird post. She's never run for any kind of office. I suspect you don't want to see that because she could win.

 

Not weird and I know she has never run for anything but I do believe she could very easily win

 

I thought Newsom was a blowhard who didn't represent the Democratic Party.

I have to love the people who hate DeSantis for allegedly violating the First Amendment and targeting political opponents are wanting to nominate a guy who violates the First Amendment and targets political opponents.

 

I honestly hope it's Newsom-DeSantis because if it's a Newsom-DeSantis race, that to me is the easiest path to a DeSantis victory and it isn't close.

 

Well you better this indictment that has you so profoundly butthurt lands trump in jail because otherwise, that ain't happening.

 

I dont think DeSantis is best served running against anyone with charisma or personality like Newsom. His easiest path would be against a Kamala or Buttigieg figure. Anyone that can make him look more like an actual human is his ideal foil.

 

Newsom would eat the thin skinned meatball for lunch

 

In Newsom's case, I think turning this into a prom king competition where the "cool kid" wins, is really oversimplifying the issue.

To me there's not a Democratic Candidate in the country that scares people in the middle more than Newsom. Every authoritarian complaint that applies to DeSantis applies to Newsom.

So then the question becomes: "Would you rather the country be governed like Florida or California?" And I really don't think the answer is close for a majority of Americans.

 

PLEASE run Newsom guys!

 

Its not really who is cool, its who is more normal. DeSantis is a freak, and his best bet is to run against an even bigger freak, like a Trump over Hillary situation. I dont think much of America has a positive opinion on Florida or California to be honest lol.

 

I think he’s waiting till 2028. When all DeSantis has is woke this, woke that and his abortion ban, Newsom will run circles around him.

 

Joe Biden is honestly the best option for Democrats because he's a zombie. By being a zombie, he's not perceived as threatening, policy be damned.

Being perceived as unthreatening is really powerful in today's politics. So is being a fighter, but Democrats are better off going against Trump or DeSantis with somebody who just doesn't scare people.

And as atrocious as Joe Biden has been, I really can't name anybody who would do a better job at that who would have a shot in the primary. Kennedy is a wildcard.

 

STRONGLY Disagree, really on all counts.

The notion that Newsom is normal, that DeSantis is a freak, and that most Americans don't have a positive opinion of Florida. Completely wrong on all counts.
