[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m watching right now.  This ain’t it, sorry.  Even at age 55, he still seems like that goofy college football player who was groomed for this role by the globalists via the Rhodes scholar program.  He projects an unconvincing faux seriousness, and it just doesn’t quite work.  This kind of fake-brave rambling grandstanding is very on brand for Cory.

Yes as you sit your half- employed arse at your home office escaping or answering to DOGE everyday. Yes, you can judge from your couch. How about you gather your mass and go down to DC and speak your mind there??? I thought so.[/quote]

No-one is personally claiming to be better than Cory.  I’m just noting that he doesn’t strike me as Presidential timber. YMMV.  Granted, it’s slim pickings for Democratic candidates[/quote]

I would disagree with this. Amy Klobuchar, Gretchen Whitmer, Roy Cooper, Joshua Stein and Pete Buttigieg immediately come to mind as not 70 year old + moderate liberals from the Midwest or purple states.  AOC is once in a generation talent, if the voter base ever catches up to her policies (we’d need someone more moderate in 2028). [/quote]

I like all those people too, but I wouldn’t call them a deep bench of great Presidential candidates.  Klobuchar and Buttigieg have already run unsuccessfully, Whitmer insults Christians and had herself kidnapped, Cooper isn’t even in politics currently and Stein is Jewish.  And AOC’s looks are fading faster than her gravitas is growing.

Almost no-one begged any of these people to run against 80-year old Joe Biden in the primaries or to take Kamala’s spot this time.  I don’t think any of these people are necessarily worse than Booker, but I also don’t think any of them could have done better than Kamala.  (She got the second most votes of any Democratic Party Presidential candidate in history.).

Anyway, not to take anything away from these impressive public servants, but none of them are Obama electric or Bill Clintonesque.  For any on your list to win, voters would have to strongly prefer our party, trust us more on the issues they care about most, etc.  And that’s not where we are as a party right now.  (Check out the results of Dem David Shor’s 26 million interviews).  To sell our platform to skeptical voters would require a miracle worker.[/quote]
Exactly. Democrats must admit corruption with open border policies.[/quote]

Maybe Democrats don’t have to admit corruption re: illegal immigration or even apologize for mistakes.  But they probably do have to stop fighting against deportations and they probably do have to take some positive actions like passing Republican border legislation and mandating e-verify.  As of today Dems are seen as the party most in favor of illegal immigration.  Which is a turn-off for voters.[/quote]

Democrats aren’t the ones who tanked the bill. Stop acting like republicans are asking for reasonable actions. [/quote]

You can't argue with statistics and numbers. Too many Democrats (even on DCUM) aren't really in favor of enforcing immigration laws. [/quote]

We also can’t win back swing voters by debating them.  They saw Trump reduce illegal immigration in his first and second terms, with the Biden administration waving in millions in between.  Swing voters are unmoved by our campaign spin that “actually” an unpassed bill proposed at the very end of Biden’s term means that string border advocates should prefer Democrats.  Even trying to push our partisan talking points as “facts” makes us seem dishonest.[/quote]
