This conforms to me what I've thought all this time...when they got stuck with Kamala, instead of Gavin Newsom, they had no choice but to see how far left their campaign could go. I've always thought that Walz was picked because Shapiro knew better than to join their ticket, but I also don't think Harris wanted him, as they were scared to death of the Muslim pushback from Dearborn, MI...at any rate, going so far left was an experiment. If it worked, by some fashion, they would have realized their wildest libtopia dreams. But if it didn't, what lessons could they learn going forward, when they won't have Trump to face again...how far left can they NOT go?
In 2028, the Dems will go back to a white man. DEI died on their Leftist vine. It'll be a Dem governor. Newsom is still gonna be the favorite--he has name recognition, will still be able to make suburban white women feel tingly, and he is extremely smooth. He's the Fully White Obama. His drawback is that he's uber-lib and Kalifornia is a giant mess. Next could be Shapiro from PA. Popular Rust Belt governor who doesn't want Green Energy explicitly. But he's Jewish--the Left isn't gonna just abandon their hatred of all things Jew in 4 years. That's their stupidity that they cannot get away from. Beshears is a popular governor in his Southern state of Kentucky, but he isn't really well-known. And he made the mistake of going after JD Vance during the convention, so I expect that alone to haunt him, as JD is not someone to eff around with. Frau Whitmer may run, but she's no more than Hillary 2.0, a female that resembles the principal at your high school that nobody liked that wasn't a suckup.
I'll guess it will be Newsom vs JD Vance in 2028. Which probably means it will be Kamala against Donald Trump, Jr...
