2028 Democrat presidential candidates should learn a lesson from California Governor Gavin Newsom. Anything less than denouncing ICE as a terrorist organization will quickly disqualify from any hope of winning the nomination from their increasingly deranged party base. Newsom made the intolerable error of backing down from his own press office's description of ICE as "state-sponsored terrorism" while speaking to Ben Shapiro on his podcast.

The New York Post's Brad Appleton described the scene on Thursday which incurred the wrath of the left in "Gavin Newsom backtracks on outrageous ICE claims made by his own team."

The Democrat party base is so far gone that there is no coming back from this for Newsom. So WHO will be the next Democrat 2028 front runner?

Only Buttigieg is as manly as Newsom, so I’ll put my money on him

That communist from VT will finally get his chance...

Gruesome made the mistake of preparing for the general election, instead of the primary election. He bought the carriage and forgot about the horse.

While researching Pete Buttgieg's eight years in the Naval Reserve (Lieutenant - Intelligence Officer), I discovered the name of his gay husband (or wife)...

"Chasten Glezman."
