Since they are doing great now that means they always and forever will be doing great. Nothing left to discuss. Trends that indicate problems in the future are not worth noticing.
Well, crap. I was overexaggerating. California only has the fourth best economy in the country:
Unfortunately, Vance must be ruled out. Ohio is 34th. Not good. I was surprised to see Utah leading pack. Similar to California, they also have a lot of high tech and high paying jobs.

Never mind that they are losing refineries due to shutdowns. Pipelines too. Due to their specialized fuel requirements they are importing more and more from overseas refineries that make their special blends. Never mind that on January 1st thousands of stations had to close due to 2014 SB 445, including just about all mom-and-pop stations that couldn't afford the upgrades, leaving some communities without service. Those are inconsequential, those are trends, and trends mean nothing. Once the 4th best economy in the country, always the 4th best economy in the country.
I'm saying if the trends turn into something real, which we both agree will never happen, that will impact Newsom's presidential chances.Since they are doing great now that means they always and forever will be doing great.

Oh, I see. You want to judge a possible candidate for President based on what the economy might look like in the future?
I think it came down to the Republicans being happy with a shutdown. Make it permanent. The Felon does what he wants, doesn't pay attention to Congress.
We have already lost. It's just most people don't want to realize it.
Alarmist? Nah, trying to close the barn doors while the horses are in the next county and the barn has been reduced to sticks.

Pretty much. This is a 79-year-old toddler who has a first class military and can do whatever he wants. There is no part of the government right now that can or will rein him in. His SCOTUS majority has gone way past unitary executive theory. If there is to be any respite from this hideous man and his regime, barring a stoke or a coronary, it is at least 10 months away, and that's if he can't control and derange the midterms. There's no fantasy about that scenario -- he's openly talking about banning mail-in voting, overseeing the election sites he claims can't be trusted, adding extra i.d. requirements (even birth certificates have been talked about), having government agents at polling places, and he's still going on about deserving a third term. Completely berserk. The bizarro version of everything you were taught about American democracy in high school. Trump has done more damage to the country than any war we've gone through. His outrageous lies have perverted the government from top to bottom. I'm unlikely to live long enough to see a thorough course correction, but at least I want to outlive this rage-filled idiot. (I'm eight years younger than him, and I exercise.)
Remember, yet again, as Trump slides into dementia his image becomes the mouth piece of other people.
Sanders and Khanna Introduce Legislation to Tax Billionaire Wealth and Invest in Working Families
Trump's No tax on tips and overtime is mentioned in the first article about how popular it is. This is what we are reduced to, legislation that minimally helps those on the lowest rungs, servers and hourly wage folks, get thrown table scraps, and they are table scraps and it's a hit. Seriously, what are we talking here as far saving per person affected? Don't bother, I'll tell you how much, $27 a week. $27 fucking dollars a week. Well, fuck me. Let's celebrate and pay this month's gas bill.

This sad thing is I could still see the Dems lose if Owens becomes the candidate.It's not Vance. It's not Rubio. GOP pollster reveals who MAGA voters actually want in 2028
Republican pollster Sarah Longwell says there is a name coming up repeatedly in her focus groups when voters are asked who they want to lead the country next — and it is not JD Vance, Marco Rubio, or any of the conventional 2028 frontrunners.It's Candace Owens."I think Candace Owens is great. I...
