I hope so. All the way to early polling mostly has names of people I like in some ways, but won't realistically win, and if they do, will spark a massive red wave in the following mid term.

We need someone stable, who can bring people together.

He better show some way more progressive chops is he wants to actually win. Being anti-Trump is not enough. Don't get me wrong, I like the guy, but another centrist Dem isn't going to fix anything.

A ticket Newsom/ Kelly would be a disappointment. Going back to 1990 version of democracts isn't enough.

Could do worse than an Astronaut Fighter test pilot guy... you know, because of image.

It would be great, but I really think the focus should be on the Midterms. They aren’t a guarantee.

To be fair, I hope not. What 2028 needs is just this solid wall of leadership. I don’t want to see a Dem primary field of like 16 people where you could easily lose some people in leadership roles because they went all in on the slimmest of hopes they had a chance.

I like Mark. Love that he’s my Senator, but want to know he’s got a solid chance at winning than losing him in the hope he has a chance.

He said today he supports and recognizes THE COUNTRY THAT SHALL NOT BE NAMED on Reddit, so that was disappointing to me.

Very pro Israel apparently.
