1. I hate saying this - but

in my opinion, America is not going to vote for a female regardless of how highly qualified she might be - sad but true.

2. I wanted him as a candidate several years ago but feel like we now need a candidate with a more universal appeal.

Not sure he would go over well in Texas or the south.

3. Is any Democratic candidate going to go over well in Texas and the south?

We can't choose our candidates based on that criteria....

I'd love to see the next Dem president appoint Kamala Harris as the Attorney General.

4. Interesting perspective

Which of the prospective Democratic candidates do you think would do well in the south and in Texas, potentially putting states like Louisiana, Mississippi and Alabama in play for the 2028 cycle?

5. Neither of them will be the nominee

The reality is, the 2028 Dem nominee will be a straight, white male not named Newsom or Shapiro.

Reminder- Carter, Clinton, and Obama didn’t appear on the polls taken in the spring of 1974, 1990 or 2006, not even in single digits.

You know who doesn’t appear on this poll?

Chris Murphy.

7. So does this mean you won't be voting for Newsom in the Saskatchewan primary?

6. Are Republicans still leading in the Gubernatorial Primary polls?

One would hope that would be the priority here in March of '26.
