Newsom's Presidential Campaign

[Loren Pechtel]

The margin of victory was 1.5 percentage points, which is considered the fifth smallest margin of victory in the thirty-two presidential races held since 1900.

Indeed. Despite the anti-incumbent sentiment worldwide, a better candidate would likely have won.
Which makes Biden's decision to drag out his long goodbye until Dems were stuck with Kami all the more disastrous.
Dems could have won 2024, by having Joe Biden withdraw as a candidate in 2023 and by having a proper primary in 2024.

He beat a girl with all the “shoulda been fatal” flaws you keep dwelling on (irrationally) - by a whopping one and a half percentage points. Congratulations to the Felon, but the margin doesn’t matter now.

I wish y'all would stop with the "Felon" moniker. Without that ill-conceived prosecution, even Kamala Harris might have prevailed against Trump. After all, they both have plenty of "shoulda been fatal" flaws.
Alvin Bragg, who usually loves to downgrade clear felonies to misdemeanors prosecuted a clear misdemeanor as a felony based on a half-baked "novel legal theory". Add to that the fact that both Feds and the previous Manhattan DA passed on this Hush Money case, as well as the salacious nature of the underlying offense, and many people saw Trump as somebody unjustly persecuted by his political opponents.
In the end, the convictions did not hurt Trump. In fact, they helped him.

The Republicans could elect a cabbage running against Jesus Himself, with enough help from Putin, Musk & Co.

But Dems nominated a turnip to run against the cabbage, and are then baffled that it was a tossup and that they did not run away with it.

Just because that's the only case he didn't manage to derail doesn't make him not a felon.

Insufferable prick Newsom pretty much confirms he will be running for the nomination

Gavin Newsom, California’s Democratic governor, told CBS News Sunday Morning he planned to make a decision on whether to run for president in 2028 once the 2026 midterm elections are over. “Yeah, I’d be lying otherwise,” Newsom said in response to a question on whether he would give serious thought to a White House bid after the 2026 elections. “I’d just be lying. And I’m not – I can’t do that.”

Teh Gruaniad

Newsom not lie?

Imagine Newsom as president and a First Lady that fucked Harvey Weinstein, good grief.

Good. The nation should strive to care for its citizens as well as California does.

Good Lord, the man is insufferable.



Paying the bills man? Hustling? Wonder Bread?! Raising myself? Mac and cheese? Bro?!! BRO?!!!

I can see why it would be confusing for a foreigner, but none of those phrases are especially unusual in California's vernacular English.

Why would a foreigner be confused? And what foreigner are you talking about? Anyway, there is nothing confusing about the phrases. It's perfectly clear. Newsom wants us to believe he is gangsta bro, grew up in the hood bro, hustling to pay the bills bro, eating Wonder Bread and mac and cheese bro, just like his homies in the vid yo.

Newsom is a bell end.

Because you don't understand the language, obviously.

Because you're a foreigner, who thinks that "bell end" is a normal word, but "mac and cheese" is not. Or that middle class Bay Area folks don't eat wonder bread or struggle to pay bills, apparently. You live here but you aren't from here, and believe me, it shows. I mean its fine, we do get a lot of foreigners here, that's actually part of our culture and if you're reasonably willing to adapt you are welcome. But don't expect your home country's grammar/social rules to apply here, we have our own thing going already.

Have you seriously never noticed that no one says "macaroni" around here? Do you like, never eat out? Or just skip past the list of macs as too low class or something? No one's going to know what the fuck you're talking about if you walk into a Chili's and attempt to order the "Chili macaroni".

A foreigner I may be but I understand the English language just fine. You come across as a bit of a bigot really.

"Fair" is a subjective term. The last election wasn't "fair" as far as I'm concerned, so there's no reason to expect the next one will be.

Have we ever had a “fair” election?

I would define a fair election thusly: any eligible citizen who wants to vote gets to vote and their vote is actually counted.

I know I have only been speaking American English for a few decades but what does “bell end” mean?

 

[ideologyhunter]

A dick head.
