No they aren't generally speaking but any objective impartial person who was presented with the facts of what the American sitting POTUS did while the US's most prominent leaders were under attack a mile away at the US Capitol Building and then you told them that person was re-elected, the objective impartial person would either not believe the info presented to them or they would lose all faith in the intelligence of the American electorate. |
Bill Clinton and Barack Obama were both relatively unknown shortly before they before won the Democratic nomination. Sometimes being a stranger is an asset. |
+1000 The cream will rise to the top if given a chance to in a fair and open primary. |
Um, we all lived it. Trump was re elected in a landslide. If you can’t figure out that your view on all that is the minority’s - well that’s on you. |
Trump won and almost secured 50% of the popular vote. Almost secured 50% of the popular vote. Can you just imagine the beat down McCain or Romney would have put on the Dems in a situation where the Dem incumbent had a 40% approval rating and saw his campaign collapse to the extent he had to call it quits just three months prior to Election Day??? From a numbers perspective, the 2024 election results for the Dems were much more favorable than they could have and should have been considering the Biden debacle and we only have the awful opponent to thank for that. |
No they did not. They said it was a mistake to deport him to El Salvador. He was still going to be deported. |
Being new will very much be an asset in '28. The usual Democratic names have proven to be inadequate for the times. That's why people are talking about Stephen Jackson and Mark Cuban and other non-traditional candidates. And no, Van Hollen is not going to lead Democrats to victory. His El Salvador stunt was ill conceived. And if no one new arises, there is a huge opening for AOC. Mainstream DNC Democrats have proven over and over that they do not have a feel for what's going on. People will be looking for a movement leader - like an Obama. Or a Sanders. Someone that inspires and transcends the usual divisions. And that is not Van Hollen. |
I think going to El Salvador to free a wife beater will not be a good look for 2028. |

So you are unaware that he is Maryland's Senator? Did you not vote? |
We need someone like this for president

But it’s totally on-brand for Dems |
I will support Van Hollen if no one else steps up. It must be someone committed to bringing Garcia back. If they can't declare what the Reagan judge did, they are not worthy. |
I hope he’s the nominee. The ads will be great. |
Y'all sound scared. You should be. Van Hollen is class and his efforts to defend due process are essential, honorable and totally on brand. |
