Gavin Newsom. Yes.
“Gavin Newsom. Yes.”
I just don’t understand how anyone can look at Gavin Newsom and think, “Please do for the U.S.A. what you’ve done for California.” A Bill Clinton or a Jimmy Carter could say, “Hey, look, during my tenure as governor, my state has improved” (in terms of various metrics such as unemployment, business growth etc). In every possible metric, CA is worse off now than before Gav became Gov. Every single one. I don’t understand what possible platform Gav runs on... he’s an expert at trolling Trump? Really? That’s enough?
AOC now has fuel for the primaries - she goes in and shows “look, a leftist like ZM is the person who wins, so make me the candidate”.
It doesn’t matter that NYC is not indicative of the rest of the country.
It doesn’t matter that if one goes to extreme positions, it can help you in the primaries (as only the dedicated R or D vote), but unless you move more center-wards, you won’t get the fence sitters.
So AOC may win the primaries.
She’ll go for Schumer’s Senate seat first then run for president later.
No, I agree with Shapiro.
AOC is very much being underestimated….
Now, that being said, JD Vance is AWESOME, and I believe he is going to beat her, but let’s remember how close that old hag Clinton came in 2016, and a senile old head of a crime family was POTUS for four years.
There is no doubt the entire Leftist coalition will vote Democrat if the DNC puts up an attractive female, brownish candidate - and AOC is just that.
Let’s face it - she’s attractive despite the memes showing her with giant teeth suggesting she looks like a braying donkey - she does not.
As for her message and her political skills; sure, her ideas sound like nonsense to us because Marxism is nonsense. But even if it’s Leftist nonsense to us, she does not do word salads, she does not lose her train of thought, she’s not the idiot she is portrayed as..
To me, she comes off as impassioned and articulate, though wrong about everything. But do you think a Democrat candidate being wrong about everything will stop the stupid 50% from voting for her? I don’t.
Shapiro is right.
