[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]

Attempting to predict the front runners for the 2028 Dem nomination is a waste of time in 2025. There are plenty of qualified and fit for office potential candidates who deserve a chance to present themselves and their platform to the American people in a fair and open to all 2028 primary. All we can hope for is for a nominee chosen by the people with little to no manipulation by the DNC in determining who does and doesn't have a chance at the nomination.

AOC is a generational talent but her anti-capitalism and close the wealth gap rhetoric puts her in conflict with big money political donors and her open and honest stance on the insider trading shenanigans of her Congressional colleagues leaves her out in the cold as far as support from within the party base is concerned. You have to play nice with the mega donors and you have to put loyalty to the team ahead of integrity if you want to be an Executive or Legislative Branch leader on the Federal level.[/quote]

Weird take.  Our bench isn’t impressive so don’t think about it.  The DNC puts its finger on the scale, so assume they won’t.  Economic populism won’t please our donors, and mentioning fraud will annoy our politicians.  So self-censor and campaign for the status quo voters hate.  Great advice.  Do nothing, Democrats.  We got this.and no, the Republicans aren’t paying me to promote this strategy.[/quote]

The general sentiment leading up to the '92 election was Dems having little chance to beat a popular GHWB. Clinton emerged from a pack of what was thought to be a weak Dem bench of potential nominees and he became an effective two term POTUS. HRC was assumed to be the front runner by a wide margin for the 2008 nomination until campaign season began and Obama quickly became well known and very popular with the people.

[b]Obama and Clinton were the last two elite Dem nominees[/b] and they became successful two term presidents but you wouldn't have predicted their success three years prior to their first presidential campaigns. No use trying. Let things play out. One thing we know for sure from past experience in 2020 is that Trump's unpopularity will put the GOP at a huge disadvantage against the Dem nominee in 2028.[/quote]

Yes, predictions are hard.  But no, that doesn’t mean we shouldn’t plan.  If our bench is weak we need to strengthen it.  If our best candidates are unknowns we need to get them out there.  If we don’t want rigged primaries, we have to prevent them.  [/quote]

Elite? No they weren't. [/quote]
