[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It needs to be a white male. And not Newsome.

There are far too many misogynists and we're clearly not ready for a female POTUS in America. [/quote]

Please stop with this crap. Someone like Giorgia Meloni would win by a landslide in the US, that is, someone who is centrist on social issues, has charisma, and is tough on immigration and crime. Unfortunately the Dems have no one like this. It’s not a “woman” issue. [/quote]

100% its actually not the candidate as much as much as what they represent - the democrats could have won the last election is they hadn't been completely asleep at the wheel about immigration - why is is so hard for the democrats to just take a reasonable but somewhat tough position on immigration? [/quote]

Hmmm.... There was an unprecedented circumstance during the 2024 election cycle when the very unpopular incumbent backed out the race 3 months prior to Election Day and then the VP of that very unpopular incumbent was appointed as the nominee by the party committee as opposed to being nominated through the primary process.

Sure, the immigration issue was an effective talking point for the GOP but the much more obvious reason for the Dem's loss to a relatively weak opponent is the fallout from the incumbent's late exit from the race creating a no-win situation. Biden and his immigration policies are gone. Get over it.

When the next Obama, Clinton, or Reagan steps up, you'll quickly remember what makes for a good POTUS candidate and a successful two term POTUS is 99% about the charisma, leadership ability, and communication skills of the individual. A candidate or POTUS who takes a rigid stance on a single issue that is in conflict with what a vast majority of Americans agree with, does not have presidential leadership skills.[/quote]

The vast majority of Americans want secured borders and a sensible immigration policy that limits illegal immigration while having reasonable levels of legal immigration. I am still trying to find the group of voters that would stop voting democrat if that was the democrat position on that issue. You can talk about charisma, leadership etc but if democrats don't modify their hardline positions on these losing issues then they will continue to lose.[/quote]

You're confusing Joe Biden's immigration strategy or lack there of with the wishes of 99% of Dem voters and other Dem politicians. Obama and Clinton had a common sense approach to prevent the number of new immigrants from exceeding what our system can handle within a given time frame. Dems didn't know Biden was going to immediately remove all band-aid policies in place to control the flow of new arrivals and then do next to nothing for two years while presumably waiting for our pathetic Congress to take action.

Biden is long gone. Get over it. Our current president's number campaign agenda was to address the long standing immigration/border issue. By 2028, we will either have had sensible immigration reform passed through Congress or Trump will be to blame for not properly addressing his number one campaign promise. Either way, you better find another talking point to ridicule Dem policies because immigration will either be a back burner issue or it will be GOP candidates that have to answer to Trump's failures on immigration. See how that works? Welcome to politics. [/quote]
