I believe that Polis would stand a better chance than Buttigieg would in a run for the top spot if, despite all indications to the contrary, the Democrats learn what they need to learn from this last defeat. Executive experience (governor, not mayor), served on the Judiciary, Ways & Means, and Energy/Commerce committees while in Congress, successful entrepreneur, and checks a few of the DEI boxes that the base of the party would require.
Might not have the brash bluster of a Newsom, but he doesn't have the catastrophic failures of a Newsom either. Not a lot of Obama-class charisma anywhere on the bench for the Democrats truth be told . . . and the ones that do have it are more interested in being activists who rail against the leadership than they are being the leadership.
If Democrats were disappointed by black men who didn’t vote for a woman of color, just wait and see how excited they get about voting for a gay white man. Democrats have no bench… their governors are all failures for the most part.
The brightest bob they have is Josh Shapiro, and he’s Jewish, so….
The left is angry because they are now being judged by the content of their character and not by the color of their skin.
President Elect Trump palling around with President Obama. Also loved the moment when W slapped Barack in the belly and told him to get up there to speak.
They looked more like old college buddies than mortal enemies calling each other Hitler.
Politics is theater.
