He’s the American Justin Trudeau. A mean, vicious despot cloaked in non threatening femininity metrosexualism. Women vote for him because he’s a hunk and men vote for him because they lack testosterone and think nice guyism will help them get laid.
Not sure that most men vote for Trudeau types because they want to get laid. It’s more that they’re looking for some “uniting” new figure like the media-whitewashed image of JFK (though the desire for a young and inspiring male leader is universal.) This extends to Canadians because their culture is an extension of ours.
The main issue for the Party advancing a Newsom nomination would be that unless Biden simply steps aside, which looks increasingly unlikely, any real nomination fight would require Newsom and his people to publicly use Biden’s age/infirmity as evidence of why he should step down. It would be disastrous for Democrats if their primary voters still end up picking Biden over Newsom after a drawn-out primary where their own party elites said that Biden was too much of an invalid to run again. And would people really accept the superdelegates stepping in for Newsom after the uproar with Hillary in 2016? It would stink to high heaven no matter the media cover-up, particularly to independent voters.
I've read in other places as well that the plan is to shoehorn Newsom in as the candidate at the convention. The primaries will be bypassed and he'll just be nominated. I can see this happening, as both parties have been moving in the direction where voters' input is effectively neutered.
I just don't see them abandoning Biden. It would be an admission of weakness they are not prepared to make. They don't take Trump seriously as opposition, and as soon as they do, they'll just throw him in jail (and he's not winning from jail - that's just not realistic). They *like* the fact that they can force the public to vote for a decrepit and dementia-addled walking corpse. They get off on that sort of power. To replace him would imply that they don't really have it - that they actually do need to be accountable to the desires and tastes of the average person in some meaningful way. No - the public will like who they are told to like, and a second term of Joe Biden is proof of that.
He's the biggest "threat" the Uniparty has ever faced.
I don't think they can get him in jail in time. Jack Smith latest mistake is an example. JS tried to place a gag order. Just the gag order can easily be argued for a year or more. You can't proceed with a trial until you settle the gag order. Trump has very good lawyers.
They fear him because they had to go to great lengths cheating last time. (And barely made it)
They are worried they won't be able to cheat enough again.
Disagree re: newsom. he has no charisma and failed to win dem primary against an (ancient at that point) Jerry brown despite mass media and establishment support. Similar dynamic will happen w him and Donald, who will make fun of his teeth / other implants. We also have a secret weapon in Kim Guilfoyle.
That being said, i love your encouragement to vote and organize w the GOP. Thank you for being enthusiastic about political participation. Too many people online dump on involvement, which is cynical and thus the worst sort of anti American defeatism.
Apropos of that, note that there is a debate tonight -- and no one cares. The national party is on its heels. It will be pushed over in 2024 by county and state orgs, which all support “Trump”! Onward to victory!!
Oops newsom never actually ran in 2010 but point still stands bc he should have been able to get rid of Jerry as the main candidate. Sorry for the error
Also, congrats on starting a Substack. Your long-form writing is both concise and impactful, and you deserve the success that you’re finding. No doubt some conservacon magazine would be begging to hire you if you cucked and wrote under your real name.
DeSantis refused to follow the rest of the country and kept Florida schools and businesses open. That was a tremendous political risk but he did it. He showed courage and grit.
Gorgeous Gavin on the other hand is a mellifluous speaker and will, in your opinion, win the next election.
I wholeheartedly agree that Newsom will be on the ballot at one point or another, but I'm more inclined to bet on 2028. Even with the media hinting at senility, I think the left as a whole revels in making you call Biden Mr. President the same way Caligula reveled in making you call his horse Senator. It's a very public display of the totality of one's power, and those are bragging rights that are hard to let go of.
The newspapers conceding some of Biden's health problems could also be interpreted as a hedging of bets in the event that the indictments+fortification plots do not succeed. Planting those seeds now sets up Biden as a fall guy for the election failure, and in turn sets the stage for Newsom to swoop in on a white horse and save the party.
If 2024 isn't looking good for them, and as you said Trump has a very good chance so long as he's out of jail, this would be the smart way to cut their losses. I doubt Newsom wants to run a race he's not sure he can win, either.
My issue with the fraud discourse is that no-one has an answer to it. That answer has to be a convincing argument that it can be stopped, or a convincing argument that it didn't happen. Neither has materialised. Is plugging our heads in the sand and trying to outvote the fraud really out best option? If it is, so be it. But it seems dire.
I think the real reason is that nobody knows what to do about it. If there is nothing to be done then the best play really is to try to just smash through -- because that’s the only play you have.
I see the debate with DeSantis as the “debut” . The media articles will be written already and I’d expect it to be matching with some 6 page spreads in the the usual magazines. Then they can shuffle Biden off and position Newsom as the candidate for everyone versus those crooked and evil Republicans.
>President Trump is leading polls by a substantial margin in every swing state.
He is not the president, and this is just an example of the reality-denying attitude among his followers. The ones who go "he's MUH president!" because they simply want to worship a leader, forgetting the fact that he ditched all his election promises, and has over and over again sacrificed supporters and people close to him to appease the leftist media. While filling the White House with Democrats and neocons. Enjoy your Kushner-written law letting criminals out of prison early, including the man who tried to kill Rand Paul.
Trump caused a record exodus from the GOP, so yeah, he's the favorite among those left, as they remember he was the president before. You're gonna win elections with that? Good luck. The Independents decide elections, and they won't vote for him.
Trump won one election, because people thought he'd keep the promises - but the MAGA agenda was actually written by Steve Bannon, who he fired at Kushner's and Gary Cohn's behalf, and them insulted and mocked. Trump lost the midterms because he didn't keep his promises, he reduced the support among White men - the ones who brought him to power in the first place - in the next presidential election, and he supported clown candidates who cost the GOP the Senate, and left them with only a razor-thin majority in the House. So Trump has been a disaster in three elections out of four.
The Democrats will LOVE to see him run again. He's the best way to get Democrats out to vote. Trump endlessly talking about the last election is a sure loser. An overwhelmingly negative campaign never wins - Hillary Clinton ran the most negative campaign in modern history, targeting her opponent without offering policies, and lost despite having strong media support. Trump? His message is even MORE negative. It's all about the last election. It's all about him. Not about policies.
He can't run on "build the wall" since he never did. He can't run on "reduce immigration" since Bush and Obama threw out more illegals than him. He can't run on "end the wars" since he vastly increased illegal drone killings of civilians, carpet bombed Raqqa, invaded eastern Syria to "take the oil" and give it to the Marxist Kurdish PKK, who smuggle drugs and illegal aliens to Europe.
So he can just keep talking about himself - the prosecutions - and how bad his opponent is. Again - that is NOT how you win elections. As Hillary's example showed very clearly. You need positive policies. But Trump betrays every election promise, so he has no policies to offer.
He’s the American Justin Trudeau. A mean, vicious despot cloaked in non threatening femininity metrosexualism. Women vote for him because he’s a hunk and men vote for him because they lack testosterone and think nice guyism will help them get laid.
Trudeau got 30% of a 60% turn out election about 17% of Canadians voted for him

Respectfully disagree, good sir.
I just don't see them abandoning Biden. It would be an admission of weakness they are not prepared to make. They don't take Trump seriously as opposition, and as soon as they do, they'll just throw him in jail (and he's not winning from jail - that's just not realistic).

"They don't take Trump seriously as opposition,"

They are worried they won't be able to cheat enough again.
So yes they see him as very serious opposition.
Agree with the rest of ur comment
No way.
Shortly after Biden is cheatlected Jill will give him a Putin Stroke Pill.
KH will be the perfect president. She can climb stairs. She will get on her knees for every visit of a Elite Globalist.

You are without a doubt correct. Newsome will be our next president.

> Is plugging our heads in the sand and trying to outvote the fraud really out best option?
No, but talking about how to fix the fraud doesn't make for gripping social media discussion.
I think the real reason is that nobody knows what to do about it. If there is nothing to be done then the best play really is to try to just smash through -- because that’s the only play you have.
I see the debate with DeSantis as the “debut” . The media articles will be written already and I’d expect it to be matching with some 6 page spreads in the the usual magazines.

Time will tell
it's almost certainly michelle that will run to 're-unite and depolarize america'. she's been fundraising with some funds since '21.
I said this more than a year ago it's going to be Michelle Obama
Big Mike for the win
