It’s Going to Be JD and Kamala, So Calm Down

Everybody who wants to gobble popcorn while watching exciting POTUS primary races in 2028 is going to be disappointed, at least in terms of the final outcome. We know how this story ends, but what leads up to it may be hilarious, particularly on the Democrat side. Every weirdo, loser, and mutation in their party intends to try to get the nod, knowing that the fix is already in; it’s just going to be a chance for folks like Democrat Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (NY-14) and Pete Buttigieg to try to raise their profiles or maybe get picked to be VP. Neither of those two will. But right now, it’s obvious who is going to go head-to-head against each other in the general election. You can deny it, you can argue it, you can cope all you want, but barring some unforeseen turn of events, we know how this is going to play out.

It’s going to be JD versus Kamala, and that’s just the way it is.

Well, that’s not technically correct. On the Republican side, the guy who’s going to be nominated is the guy who Trump says is going to be nominated, and right now that’s Vice President JD Vance. People are fantasizing that Secretary of State Marco Rubio is going to jump in and fight the veep for the top of the ticket, but that’s crazy talk. And the least crazy guy involved is Marco Rubio himself, who has made a magnificent and fantastic 180° turnaround since his unfortunate dalliance with amnesty under the influence of a bunch of Bushie loser Senate colleagues a decade ago that nearly sank his political future.

Let’s get past the midterms before we calm down about 2028.

RE: Marco Rubio made a dalliance with amnesty....

Does anyone here know the details?

A game changer for me if he doesn’t overcompensate now.

True, it was the one blemish on the great Ronald Reagan’s record and not enough to diminish it.

Way too early to call.

In 2014, would you have predicted Trump? Would anybody?

Harris hasn’t a chance of winning the nomination. That’s just how it is.

would've preferred DeSantis...
I still don't love Vance's ties to H-1B-loving technocrat elites like Peter Thiel.

Plus, his wife is of Indian descent, so he has less of an incentive to actually be serious about the visa scams.

They did it three times once, with William Jennings Bryan.

I won't bet a year's salary on it, but Kamala will not be the nominee; the Dems know they have to have a black guy or a white woman, and that means either Booker or Whitmer.

Nobody is going to fund Kamala again.

The Dims are going to have a hard time raising money from the big donors if Kamala is selected.

He didn't just have a "dalliance" with immigration amnesty.

He co-sponsored the Senate amnesty bill in 2013. Even worse, he did this with three Republican members of the Senate "Gang of Eight" that included such insufferable @ssholes as John McCain, Lindsey Graham, and Jeff Flake.

Kurt is right. J.D. is going to crush Cackles and probably et 340 EVs and win the national popular vote by 5%.

The wild card is Mamdani, whom the DSA/fascists REALLY want to run. Forget the Constitutional stuff. I’m surprised after all these years people still think the DemoKKKrats will observe the Constitution or that Republicans and the courts will MAKE them observe the Constitution. The only thing keeping Mamdani from being the candidate is if he continues to destroy New Kabul faster than they can message the destruction.

But if the Amazing Zohran is the candidate, J.D. will win with close to 400 EVs. States that would never vote for him will.

DeSantis wrote his obituary in national politics with his stupid primary challenge to Trump in 2023-24. That might have been the most politically tone-deaf disaster I’ve seen in decades.

“Will the Dims nominate a previous loser?”

If they cheat hard enough, won’t matter. Biden got 81M votes, right? Harris would get 100 bazillion votes in a second run.
