I don't think Newsom has a chance in hell of winning the Democratic primary. Calling him the "frontrunner" is just fluff, the primaries are still over two years away

I don't think we'll be given a choice this time either.

I sincerely disagree

I hope you're right. I don't have any reason to trust democrats.

They have a proven track record of snatching defeat from the jaws of victory.

Maws?

It may be a typo, but a maw is a mouth, so the aphorism is intact.

Old people are the most likely to vote in primaries and the media will keep telling them how amazing and moderate he is especially as he keep the usual failing Democrat strategy of chasing conservatives that would vote for a Democrat, you know, people that don't exist. I'm pretty sure we're going to have him forced down our throats.
