Both of them would not only make good candidates, good executives, but also be good leaders of the party.

Love Roy but he will be over 70 in 4 years. JanMichael Jan 2025 #62

Who is running is less important than making sure the theme/platform is NOT "Saving Trump supporters from their messes" ck4829 Jan 2025 #36

Andy Beshear of KY Buckeyeblue Jan 2025 #37

I love Andy blueknight73 Jan 2025 #49

This is the answer right fucking HERE! Andy Beshear ticks all the boxes & motherfucking ready for the national spotlight SoFlaBro Jan 2025 #70

Beshear/Whitmer is the only ticket Ars Longa Jan 2025 #84

Mark Cuban would be interesting Buckeyeblue Jan 2025 #109

I think he could win nationally but I don't harbor any fantasies that it's 1992 and a Bill Clinton "New South" Democrat Midwestern Democrat Jan 2025 #94

Well, winning GA & NC would be a LOT better than how Ars Longa Jan 2025 #96

If he wins both GA and NC he really has won the southern states that matter Buckeyeblue Jan 2025 #110

Wouldn't the better question be... what should the platform be in 2028 ? Sailingfish Jan 2025 #45

I don't think the platform really matters to comradebillyboy Jan 2025 #65
