No chance. Democrats learned their lesson running women and wont do it again until AOC after a few elections. If they did run a woman,,,,it would definitely be Whitmer.
Took him a month to come out of hiding.
Him mad.

Was half joking, but honestly half not
I think youre right actually that there will be a some democrat elites that will want her because how the did she end up on a stage with Kamala,,,,no way that was Kamala's decision,,,,Kamala doesnt make decisions,,,she doesnt know how,,,,but youre also right that she hurt them more than helped them,,,,she's toxic as and so was her father.
It was Kamala's decision. She's a right wing neolib who was taking the advice of her head brother in law who is a Senior VP of Uber that she needed to appeal to the corporations and the political establishment instead of the people pissed off about grocery prices and other assorted price gouging in this nation.
No way is she right wing but thats for another discussion,,,,but there you go, bummer,,,,,her brother in law made the decision for her. She didnt think and reason she wanted Liz Cheney,,,,someone told her she wanted Liz Cheney,,,,again,,,,Kamala doesnt make decisions,,,that why she sucked ass in 2020 in the democrat primaries,,,,ask her a question and she'll gurgle out some bull way off point and make throw in a pla ude or two,,,
..."they've" never gotten over giving us those fat checks back in the early days of COVID. So, they've been punishing us ever since.
taking him longer to come out of the closet though.
Who's decision was it for her to say she wouldn't do anything different from sleepy Joe?
The demarcation point. And she was immediately alarmed by the query (she knew), but, barged thru that alarm nonetheless and the bed, on the spot.
Harris's, ultimately.
Dumb decision.
I think everyone paying attention unclenched a little when Biden stepped aside.
That would be awesome
Hillary/ Liz 2028 would be the ultimate dream ticket
No it'll be Jeffries/Cheney as the change ticket. Or Cheney/Jeffries.

Why Bidenomics Was Such a Bust | The Nationpolls do establish that a large majority of voters gave Bidenomics a low grade. A sense of failure weighs on Bernstein and his colleagues, despite their good intentions and best efforts. They were repudiated—so say the polls—and for the sake of future policy battles, it is worthwhile to try to understand why.
It is no help to argue, as Paul Krugman did, that voters are not competent to judge their own interests and well-being. Krugman faults the voters, in effect, for failing to accept the superior wisdom of a columnist at The New York Times. But it is a precept of democracy (and of free market economics) that voters (and consumers) do know their interests. To refuse this precept is to deny the point of democracy, in which case there is no good reason to go on having elections. Or markets, either.
If voters are unhappy with the good readings on standard indicators—unemployment, the monthly inflation rate, economic growth—it must be because those indicators no longer connect to their sense of well-being. I have written on this before. In particular, low unemployment rates may reflect widespread disaffection with bad jobs; a low inflation rate does not reverse past price increases; and the incomes from growth may flow to profits and capital gains. These indicators are not useless—if they were bad, the situation would be even worse—but a good showing on them is insufficient.
What did happen under Biden was a decline in real incomes—in household purchasing power. Prices had risen sharply in 2021–22, and even though the inflation rate was transient—contrary to screams from economists—the change in price levels was not. Wages struggled to catch up. Many people living on savings and pensions never did. While the White House moved quickly to bring down gas prices with oil sales from the Strategic Reserve, it did little to stop firms from padding their margins. Profits surged, as did rents, land prices, and the stock market. The Biden economists had overlooked a fundamental fact, which is that the ultimate benefit of any “stimulative” policy flows to those with market power—to land and to capital—regardless of how it may be distributed at first.
Pressure from voices like Summers led to an early curtailment of direct Covid relief, which fell just as prices rose. It is a shocking fact that while during Covid child poverty rates and food insecurity declined, those rates returned to pre-Covid levels when the benefits ended. Should we really be surprised that the affected families, having briefly tasted a better life for their children, were unhappy?
Hubert Horan, who plumbs the Tony West/Kamala Harris relationship in this article, seems to have a spade ready for the Dems
Trump is probably going to criminalize his political opposition, so expect to see fewer Dems with a national profile in 2026 and 2028
https://www.nakedcapitalism.com/2025...-campaign.htmlWest’s successful sale of the Democratic Party to oligopoly interests has left it in total disarray and raises critical questions going future. Since Hilary Clinton’s loss in 2016 it has been openly questioned whether the Democratic Party leadership could attract support outside elite and PMC groups. It was widely understood that making a connection with non-elite groups was key to Trump’s rise. By making West and fundraising from billionaires the centerpiece of her campaign, Harris powerfully signaled that she had nothing of substance to say to non-elite non-PMC groups, and did not see maintaining the support of non-elite Democratic factions as important to the election. One can certainly argue that Trump might not produce the level of tangible benefits these voters might be hoping for, but Trump (via positions on immigration, household inflation impacts, attacks on elite claims, etc.) had strongly positioned himself as the candidate who cared the most about their problems. The Harris campaign simply conceded that huge advantage to Trump and never gave any indication it was concerned that advantage might have an impact on election results.
The Harris-West decision to ignore elite/non-elite issues and center the campaign on fundraising also helped ensure that it would be impossible for the national Democratic Party to recover from a Trump victory and establish any meaningful opposition to Trump policies. Some billionaire/corporate donors might have had some preference for a Democratic win, believing that (as with Obama) a this would neutralize opposition to pro-oligarchic policies from the left and offered more stability than a Trump victory. But the interest of the donors who contributed $1.1 billion to Harris was always purely transactional and (as events have proven) they rapidly switched their allegiance to Trump. So the national Democrats have absolutely no one that can serve as a plausible opponent to any Trump policies, the Party’s historic pro-working class branding has been destroyed, and the Party totally lacks the money and infrastructure needed to move forward.
I guess the Dem response to Trump's speech signals where the party is going. A CIA agent touting Reagan
Looks like 2028 choice will basically be dubya vs trump
There will be no 2028 election anyways.I guess the Dem response to Trump's speech signals where the party is going. A CIA agent touting Reagan
