That it's just about anyone but him. Well to be honest there are several I would like to avoid. I'm leaning far more heavily left that I ever had because we need a different approach going forward.
Don't get me wrong, if he runs and if he win I will vote for him BUT until that happens I endorse or promote others I think are better.

I don't think the guy who took it apon himself to personally help destroy a homeless encampment and is actively fighting any taxes on billionaires is not the look we think it is going into the next presidential election.

That poll shows there's still something very wrong with this country. mdbl Sunday #3

Even as a stalking horse, Newsom can drive Vance's poll numbers down farther Brother Buzz Sunday #4

Newsom is a bit of lightning rod, so not surprising Wanderlust988 Sunday #5

What negative sh*t? Dave says Sunday #20

Any politician with a record will have a lot of things vulnerable to attack-- I do worry that Jack Valentino Sunday #38

Neither will be the 2028 nominee of their party. Nt Fiendish Thingy Sunday #6

HAHAHAHAHAHA! And VANCE will CERTAINLY LOSE the Canadian GOP primary--- Jack Valentino Sunday #39

You keep saying that Polybius Monday #48

I'll be happy to admit I'm wrong if either become the nominee of their party Fiendish Thingy Monday #49

I think you're wrong about Vance for sure Polybius Monday #50

Clinton didn't even show up in the 1990 polls IIRC. Fiendish Thingy Monday #53

What Vance has going for him is that he's the sitting Vice President Polybius Monday #54

If Bobby Kennedy hadn't been shot, Humphrey would have lost the primaries to him. Fiendish Thingy Monday #55

Probably correct Polybius Monday #58

JD Vance so oozes insincerity & unctuous "love" for all things Trump-MAGA (for the moment)... hlthe2b Sunday #7

Exactly! senseandsensibility Sunday #8

People do NOT like JD Vance pinkstarburst Sunday #9

Newsom is not perfect but I'd vote for him over trump or jd senseandsensibility Sunday #11

Same Blue Full Moon Sunday #13

and twice on Tuesdays! Jack Valentino Sunday #40

Pritzker is for taxing billionaires. Blue Full Moon Sunday #17

Pritzker could be a good candidate, too Dave says Sunday #21

Who else do we have, really? Esp. since we evidently can't have a woman president.... CTyankee Sunday #14

Exactly pinkstarburst Sunday #16

Murphy is not flashy, didn't go to Yale, smart and knows what he's doing. I like him a LOT! CTyankee Sunday #19

He is very impressive and was out there almost immediately senseandsensibility Sunday #23

We still don't know if Trump is going to try to pull off running again. Or has he given that up? CTyankee Sunday #24

Who knows? senseandsensibility Sunday #30

especially with most other Democratic leaders Jack Valentino Sunday #42

Actually Harris is definitely in the hunt WarGamer Sunday #28

Love her, but I think that would be a mistake on our part. Scrivener7 Sunday #34

It would definitely be a mistake, if she continues to speak with the "caution" Jack Valentino Sunday #43

I just don't think she's right for this moment, even if she does what you say. Scrivener7 Monday #44

I don't disagree---- I only meant to express my opinion on the 'best case scenario' Jack Valentino Yesterday #59

The two best candidates we've put up. Imagine where Scrivener7 19 hrs ago #60

I think that's a big risk pinkstarburst Monday #47

Murphy would be my first choice. He's one of the organizers of the People's State of the Union. Scrivener7 Sunday #33

It's my hope angrychair Sunday #29

Except he won't do the thing that is needed. Always Blue Sunday #37

Well said. But my opinion is that, if taxing them means they'll move out of my state, we should tax them hard. Scrivener7 Monday #45

Didn't realize they had been nominated already. When did the 2028 primaries take place? Martin Eden Monday #46

By then Vance will be running as the incumbent Bluestocking Monday #51

More "encouraging" would've been 60-40 awesomerwb1 Monday #52
