It’s time: The Democrats must replace Joe Biden with California Gov. Gavin Newsom | Opinion

After Thursday night’s debate performance, one thing is crystal clear: The national Democratic Party must immediately announce they will seek to replace President Joe Biden as the presumptive candidate.

We can do better than this. There are still nearly two months before the Democratic National Convention in Chicago, scheduled for late August. Thursday’s debate made it clear that Biden must be replaced as the candidate with someone — anyone.

Even California Gov. Gavin Newsom. It could be a Hail Mary play for the ages, bringing Newsom in to save the day like a handsome Hollywood leading man in a Sorkinesque script. He could rally delegates and fill them with enthusiasm. It would harken to a sense of normalcy in our country — even if it’s a rich, white, cis sense of normalcy.

Captain Obvious to the rescue.

Yea right, we want the whole country to be the piss pot that Calif has become under Newsome.

[pigeoninthepark]

Newsom is hated by everyone, and don’t forget his election and his recall were only won by him because he cheated, California hates that guy

So black, female VP is bypassed for the rich, white male.

Go for it, Dems.

[Campion]

Think of the campaign slogans ... “He ruined California, now it’s America’s turn!”

Yeah, right - like this article was just written in the last hour after the debate ended. Obviously there's a faction of the Democrats waiting to push Senile Joe off the stage and bring in some new face who hasn't gotten a single primary vote.

Was this the whole idea of the early debate?

To get rid of Biden?

That’s what many people said when it was announced.

It seems it may be the case.

[Openurmind]

Called it a year ago...

[GOPJ]

You know the tree by it’s fruit.

One look at the mess California is and you know Gavin’s NOT up to the job.

[BookmanTheJanitor]

Hey, Robin....Gavin is not going to blank you. Nice try.

What I want to know is what happens to Biden’s huge campaign war chest if this happens? I mean it was donated to the “Biden Harris” campaign not “The eventual Democrat Nominee”, doesn’t seem like it would be legal to just hand it hand it all over to Newsom or somebody else. But if it can’t be, then that nominee will have a HUGE disadvantage, basically starting a campaign from scratch in July with -0- in the bank.

[Deo volente]

Newsom has destroyed the once great state of California. He has nothing to run on.

[chud]

And this is why we should want Biden to remain the Democratic candidate.
It's a gift for the Trump campaign.

That didn’t take long. /s

Over Hillary Clintoon’s dead body. It’s her turn again.

Simpleton. Things are not going well here. I would counsel not to fear him. I won’t pay to read the article but does she discuss Kamala? She’s not going to go quietly and the dissing of an allegedly black woman wouldn’t go over well

[NetAddicted]

I didn’t know Sac Bee was so stupid. No one wants to California-ize the USA.

She's on CNN now.
