[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I feel like GOP sends any other young competent reasonably moderate and sophisticated non nutjob candidate in v Biden, they got this election wrapped.  If Dems had any younger moderate Dem who had any record of achievement and basically just looked the part of POTUS with gravitas, they would win hands down v the Orange Fool.  Ironic both are in such dire straits.  Unsure if this is a pathetic warning on our culture that we can't produce anyone worthy or anyone interested in the biggest job in the country.  [/quote]

There were 8 candidates, several of whom were moderate, who entered the race and dropped out before the first primary.

4 other candidates, 3 of whom were bat-sh*t crazy (Haley, DeSantis and Ramaswamy).
Hutchinson was moderate and critical of Trump.  He qualified for one debate and never got more than 2% of the vote.  He had the lowest vote total in the Iowa caucuses and dropped out.

So, where are these candidate that would have this election wrapped?  The majority of them never broke 10%.  Only Haley did and she was still only a distant second.

Dean Phillips is 55 years old and moderate.  He wanted to challenge Biden and yet never broke 10% of the Democratic vote, except for New Hampshire where Biden did not make it onto the ballot and Biden still won almost 80% of the vote as a write-in candidate.  Phillips dropped out after Super Tuesday after he had gotten zero delegates in the various primaries up through Super Tuesday.

So, other than wishful thinking, who are these younger candidates that you think would sweep the popular vote if given the chance?  Where do you think you are going to materialize candidates who are both interested in running, have national name recognition, and have enough of a following that upset the party leading candidates?  Offer one name for each side who you think could possibly win even one quarter of the electoral candidates of their party.

I believe that Dan Goldman is up and coming for the Dems.  He is smart. Charismatic, good looking, and vastly wealthy but no scandal.  In 2028, he will have 6 years experience as a member of Congress so he is a great candidate for President.
