1. Nikki Haley 2. Just because something has not yet been done (term limits), doesn't mean that it cannot be done. 3. I have absolutely no need for yet another "1" added ".
Against Trump you need an A list celebrity to insure a win. Someone who can charm a crowd and who values the truth. A Tom Hanks or a Michelle Obama would mop the floor with Trump in an election. They don't need to have experience, just popularity. Amy Klobuchar is qualified but unfortunately, not popular. John Stewart could probably beat Trump easily. Then if they win you surround them with top shelf pros who can walk them through the drills.
Matthew McConaughey considered running for Texas Governor, bet he would kill it if/when he decides to run.
Sometimes you have to fight fire with fire but don't tell me Amy Klobuchar is going to poll like Michelle Obama although Amy is more qualified for the job. Unfortunately it's become a popularity contest, not a skills competition. I learned the hard way voting for Johnson against Trump first time around. My bar now is an honest leader even though that sounds like an oxymoron.
Term limits (for Congress) can be done, but they can't be done by the President. It requires a constitutional amendment. So anyone running for President who is promising you term limits is pulling your appendage. But as Johnny Cash sang, Oh yes, it's true One and one make two barfo
Well I'd certainly vote for Newsom over Trump. From what I know, I'd probably vote for him over Biden. But I don't really know enough about the man.
I would 100% vote for Newsom over Biden, there is an interesting interview of him with gsw's former GM on leadership which is well worth seeking out on YouTube. He certainly can talk which is something we have not really had since Obama, and while he made mistakes, he freely admits them which is a refreshing trait.
Yup, that seldom happens...instead of admitting mistakes, most politicians simply try to spin things differently.
Gavin Newsom, the governor of the homeless camp named California. Jesus, Newsom cares about human life about as much as a republican does. You might as well cast your vote for Greg Abbot or Ron DeSantis...
California's success and real estate desirability (a governor doing a good job of building the economy) is the main reason for California's homeless issues (it is a lot cheaper to afford housing in bum-fuck choose your moral high-ground shithole state). Now, there would be a reason to chastise Newsom if CA government did not try to address the issue, but he has been working diligently to increase the budget to handle these issues every year, often against pushback from the conservative faction that if you remember, recalled him (very unsuccessfully as the people of CA saw through that ruse) because of grievances that range from frustration with sprawling homeless encampments to soaring housing costs. California's homeless issue is not because of Newsom, nor is it because he has not championed programs to try and address it (2021-2022 CA budget had $7.2 billion USD for homeless programs). Newsom was elected governor in 2018, the budget for 2019-202- had about $1B set aside for homeless programs. As we have seen, the budget has increased significantly under Newsom to address these issues. If you think Newsom is the problem with the CA homeless situation, you are talking out of your ass. Simple as that. If you believe that a governor that fought for the rights of same sex marriage or worked to increase the budget so much to handle homeless issues is the same as a governor that lied to people and children and sent them away to a place no-one knew they were coming as a political stunt with regards to human life, you are either an idiot, woefully uninformed or see the world only in binary terms which is absurd.
As long as he'd beat Trump I'd have no choice but to vote for him. That's really all that matters until the possibility of Trump as president has been removed. I hate it, but it is what it is. Trump is currently the biggest world threat to all that is good.
