To young men who are seeing the light: trump and his sycophants were never tough but this man and countless other Democrats in the government are and they will fight for your rights and work to make your lives better.

(23,225 posts)Newsom certainly has the loudest voice and best known name on the Dems side at the moment, but that doesnt mean he is the best choice for the 2028 nominee.
IMO, unless Trump dies in office and Vance becomes the incumbent, its extremely unlikely Vance will be the Republican nominee in 2028- the only Republican disliked more by his fellow party members is Ted Cruz.
So, polling comparing two candidates with high name recognition, mixed to low favorability ratings and odds of securing the nomination that are nebulous at best, is just plain silly and meaningless.

As for the Republicans, a GQP Vice President always has a stronger chance
of becoming the next GQP presidential nominee than if he were the Democrat's VP---
simply because the GQP electorate is more used to taking orders...
I am intrigued by your thought that Vance WON'T end up as the 2028 GQP nominee,
(unless Trump dies in office),
as he has been polling at 50 percent among Republican voters
with all the others mostly in single digits---
What do you speculate could change that outcome?
And of course interested in your speculations for the Democratic primary?

(5,011 posts)may have made the whole difference for Trump in 2024...
Personally, I like what Newsom has been doing,
mocking Trump in Trump's own style on social media--
(YES, in 'the old days' that would have been considered
"undignified and un-presidential"---
and "disrespectful to the office", blah blah blah---)
but Trump and his cult have put us into a 'new ball park',
and Newsom is beating them in their own ball park!
Thus this particular polling result!

(3,272 posts)Did he hold one young male voter in his left hand and one in his right when he beat Vance? Why didn't the Secret Service interfere with the bludgeoning? Could they finally realize Couch Vance needs so attitude adjustment?

(93,615 posts)He also called Vance fat and ugly.
Not that these incels should be imporant but the reality is they don't vote on issues.
And I wish people would stop seeing them as victims .

I actually think almost any white man we run would win against Vance. I think we might have won last year if the ticket was Walz/ Harris instead of Harris/Walz.
