A Great Night For Democrats: Referendum On Trump
- Thread starter glamphotographer
- Start date
Vance will inherit the role and I'd expect it to happen in the next year, looking at the signs.
But I agree, it will be the end of MAGA.
Hey rich, is this your dream job?
I would say Shapiro is their best bet. Kinda iffy on Newsom...he's chasing a spot at JRE...just like the "repugs" there's a lot of rhinos democrats need to get rid of....
So what am i looking at here? an officer trying to assist Trump who by the looks of it is still doing it on his own...LMAO...to be a fly on the wall iin wherever you are just scavenging for anything Trump on twitter...
Shapiro is another, yes. Buttigieg might run as well.
But I don't like Shapiro or Newsom either, but they are the best the Dems can conjure up right now.
They are all out of touch mainstream dems who are AIPAC whores.
The Newsoms, Schumers, Pelosis, Buttigiegs, Bookers, Jeffries etc., need to go.
The left needs populist leaders like AOC, Mamdani etc.,
For people who say the swing states wont vote for them, I don't believe that.
If they can vote for a non-traditional candidate like Trump, I believe they can be convinced otherwise as well.

My god, I so much agree with you. Electing Tronald Dump twice definitely shows you Americans are extremely stupid.
You know that Ricky Gervais is laughing at Trump in this Meme?So what am i looking at here? an officer trying to assist Trump who by the looks of it is still doing it on his own...LMAO...to be a fly on the wall iin wherever you are just scavenging for anything Trump on twitter...
U.S. Presidential elections are yin and yang affairs.
Each party has to put up a candidate that appeals to the center more than the other party's candidate.
So who is that winning candidate for the Democrats? I'm asking not goading.
Will the Democrats coalesce around a candidate that can appeal to the center?
You do sound excited.
I'm sure its much more pleasant than your present job in diaper changing.
This is the poll that the dems really need to look at.
"Think about it: We live a world where there are warnings on bottles of bleach — we have to tell people not to drink bleach. In that world, Trump can be president."

I don't you can argue that trump appealed to the centre of the GOP.
Harris was the candidate that tried to attract republican voters along with the dems.
They tried it and it didn't work.
Far better just to return to the roots of the party and to back what voters want instead of donors.
I don't believe the "appeals to the center" argument anymore.
That is an outdated argument.
The overwhelming change we have seen in the US is that people have increasingly moved AWAY from the center, to either the right or the left, and have come to embrace populism.
The "center" is a dwindling political demographic and largely irrelevant.
And the only populists in the US right now are MAGA.
So the Dems need a populist candidate, or atleast the existing ones to embrace populist political positions.
The Dems should nominate a Great Lakes moderate like Whitmer, Shapiro or Moore (stretching the boundary a bit) to appeal to the greatest number of voters. At this juncture, I don't know if the far left will tolerate a Jewish Democrat as nominee.
Newsom is smart and a good talker. I think there are two things to be concerned about him.
Is he too slick to be viewed as sincere nationally?
Will he be bogged down defending California's progressive policies on matters like taxes, energy, etc?
The Dems should go for it.
Hatred of Trump often blinds people from understanding that he does not always pursue traditional conservatism.
Trump is very transactional which aggravates foes and friends alike.
More importantly, Vance, Rubio or whoever will be able to shape their platform. It will probably be a version of Trump-lite.
Traditional conservatism is non-existent in US politics right now, and has been for a few decades now.
