I don't think Walz even particularly *wants* to be president! IIRC he was quoted as saying he didn't, last year, and I got the vibe he wasn't planning to use the VP slot as a stepping stone to the big job & that's one reason he worked so well with Harris. Could be wrong, but yeah

It remains strange to me that a random poster from Champaign-Urbana equating Pritzker to Temüjin has somehow stuck. I at least understand where the couple of times I have encountered Walz being jokingly compared to a Viking comes from.

Rahm is the Lindsey Graham of 2028. Not only representative of an era no one in the base wants to go back to, but is also the single worst representation of said era. Was Max Baucus unavailable?

I'm fairly certain Hillary Clinton has more supporters who want her to run *right now* than Rahm has ever had in his life. She'd literally be a better choice, and she'd be a terrible choice!

This discourse goes on and on (pushed by the consultant class), but the margin of victory was less than 1.5%. So the numbers to be moved are relatively small, not requiring major makeovers. And Trump may be moving those numbers for us. Not a reason to sit back, but reason not to abandon principles.

It was also discussed much earlier, too. There was a lot of contemporaneous concern that Newsom was positioning himself as a challenger to Biden or Harris, instead of a surrogate. He was of course doing both, but decided to hold back.

There's a lot of things wrong about this article (Rahm Emanuel is in no way a 2028 candidate, for example) but the fact it cites that dumb WSJ poll saying Dems have the lowest approval ever but fails to note the same poll shows Dems ahead of GOP in future elections really bothers me.

Newsom, for all his faults and there are many, has actually stood up to Trump on several occasions. His constituency is small, but at least exists. Rahm is clearly and obviously the source for so many of these hack’s “dems in disarray” stories that they are paying him back with these articles.

The core blocks of the Dem party are: Black people, women, and LGBTQ. (Not mutually exclusive) A candidate will not make it through the primary denigrating or breaking from those blocks. A "Sister Souljah" will backfire. Only a pre-social media consultant would suggest it.

There are a number of "normie" potential candidates that reject the centrists, support the core Dems, and look to progressives for ideas. The right and left edges are trying to pick them apart now. (The way they did to Harris in 2020 and 2024.) Those edges need to be countered now.
