Head to head poll between JD Vance and Newsom for 2028 is encouraging! [View all] senseandsensibility Feb 22 OP

Wow. SunSeeker Feb 22 #1

Have to admit that I was surprised senseandsensibility Feb 22 #2

I haven't seen enough of Moore to make a judgement on him, but I do believe Jack Valentino Feb 22 #36

Wow, wow .... I wonder. Did a COUCH vote for Vance!!!! Lol. Trueblue1968 Feb 23 #57

That poll shows there's still something very wrong with this country. mdbl Feb 22 #3

Even as a stalking horse, Newsom can drive Vance's poll numbers down farther Brother Buzz Feb 22 #4

Newsom is a bit of lightning rod, so not surprising Wanderlust988 Feb 22 #5

What negative sh*t? Dave says Feb 22 #20

Any politician with a record will have a lot of things vulnerable to attack-- I do worry that Jack Valentino Feb 22 #38

. Scrivener7 Feb 22 #32

Neither will be the 2028 nominee of their party. Nt Fiendish Thingy Feb 22 #6

So you won't be voting for Newsom in the Canadian primary? BannonsLiver Feb 22 #12

HAHAHAHAHAHA! And VANCE will CERTAINLY LOSE the Canadian GOP primary--- Jack Valentino Feb 22 #39

You keep saying that Polybius Feb 23 #48

I'll be happy to admit I'm wrong if either become the nominee of their party Fiendish Thingy Feb 23 #49

I think you're wrong about Vance for sure Polybius Feb 23 #50

Clinton didn't even show up in the 1990 polls IIRC. Fiendish Thingy Feb 23 #53

What Vance has going for him is that he's the sitting Vice President Polybius Feb 23 #54

If Bobby Kennedy hadn't been shot, Humphrey would have lost the primaries to him. Fiendish Thingy Feb 23 #55

Probably correct Polybius Feb 24 #58

JD Vance so oozes insincerity & unctuous "love" for all things Trump-MAGA (for the moment)... hlthe2b Feb 22 #7

Exactly! senseandsensibility Feb 22 #8

People do NOT like JD Vance pinkstarburst Feb 22 #9

Same Blue Full Moon Feb 22 #13

and twice on Tuesdays! Jack Valentino Feb 22 #40

so backing pritzker or the vanity candidate in CA is a no vote? nt msongs Feb 22 #15

Pritzker is for taxing billionaires. Blue Full Moon Feb 22 #17

Pritzker could be a good candidate, too Dave says Feb 22 #21

Who else do we have, really? Esp. since we evidently can't have a woman president.... CTyankee Feb 22 #14

Exactly pinkstarburst Feb 22 #16

Murphy is not flashy, didn't go to Yale, smart and knows what he's doing. I like him a LOT! CTyankee Feb 22 #19

He is very impressive and was out there almost immediately senseandsensibility Feb 22 #23

We still don't know if Trump is going to try to pull off running again. Or has he given that up? CTyankee Feb 22 #24

Who knows? senseandsensibility Feb 22 #30

especially with most other Democratic leaders Jack Valentino Feb 22 #42

Mark Kelly, Pritzger, Waltz, AOC Blue Full Moon Feb 22 #18

It's Prtizker and Walz. BannonsLiver Feb 22 #22

Actually Harris is definitely in the hunt WarGamer Feb 22 #28

Love her, but I think that would be a mistake on our part. Scrivener7 Feb 22 #34

It would definitely be a mistake, if she continues to speak with the "caution" Jack Valentino Feb 22 #43

I just don't think she's right for this moment, even if she does what you say. Scrivener7 Feb 23 #44

I don't disagree---- I only meant to express my opinion on the 'best case scenario' Jack Valentino Feb 24 #59

The two best candidates we've put up. Imagine where Scrivener7 Feb 24 #60

I think that's a big risk pinkstarburst Feb 23 #47

Murphy would be my first choice. He's one of the organizers of the People's State of the Union. Scrivener7 Feb 22 #33

It's my hope angrychair Feb 22 #29

Well said. But my opinion is that, if taxing them means they'll move out of my state, we should tax them hard. Scrivener7 Feb 23 #45

Didn't realize they had been nominated already. When did the 2028 primaries take place? Martin Eden Feb 23 #46

By then Vance will be running as the incumbent Bluestocking Feb 23 #51

More "encouraging" would've been 60-40 awesomerwb1 Feb 23 #52
