1. Sudden Boom in Sandwich Sales

I've heard that sandwich sales have gone through the roof in Chicago and LA. People stocking up, buying a dozen or more at time, just in case.😆

2. The loudest voice isn't necessarily the best leader. Nt

7. Also, spearheading the legalizing of gay marriage. A lot of positive points for that act of decency.

4. Not sure Gavin is the loudest voice. His is the most prominent voice we have and personally, I like him.

He leads a progressive large state and pulls together many disparate groups of people. I like him, I like his style and his politics.

I will gladly vote for him to be our next president (barring any unforeseen awful disclosure about something that would deem him unacceptable). I think he could be a great president. Perhaps he could have a woman VP.

5. It's easy to govern when you have a legislative supermajority.

Other leaders have to actually work to make changes that help their constituents.

For example, Whitmer rammed through a multitude of progressive bills in one year with a one seat majority in the Michigan legislature.

I enjoy Newsom’s trolling of Trump, but that’s about it.

Newsom isn’t even in my top 10 of potential 2028 nominees.

6. You are right about Whitmer. I love her and her work. But didn't you know that a woman can't be POTUS?

[Fiendish Thingy]

8. Yeah, I don't expect her to be the 2028 nominee. Nt

18. Name the ten. I'm interested v

I bet they are too.

[azureblue]

11. and Trump

[Fiendish Thingy]

17. My comment wasn't about anyone specific

Just an observation.

9. The only ones he hasn't poked belong to billionaires

Everything he's done to us has been one of their harebraind ideas.

12. His words often seen to bite his targets. Deeply.

His are narrow, targeted incisions rather than bombast, and I think that's how they make their marks long-lasting (as well as damned funny)

13. One of these fucking bears

Is going to have to choose a woman VP and then resign so she can be President or we're never going to get past this!!!!!!!

[FakeNoose]

16. Yes! It was supposed to happen with Biden, remember all the rumors?

I sure do!

[diane in sf]

14. He's not perfect, but let's not make perfect the enemy of the good. A politician is not your perfect mate, they're

the bus that will get you closest to where you want to go. That said, I’d vote for my cat in preference to any Republican.

[Lokee11]

15. I too

Would vote for your cat over ANY Rethuglican!!!!

[babylonsister]

19. Who's running?

I do like Newsom but am far from ready to commit, since this election season is ridiculously endless imo.

22. There's a lot to like with the very effective trolling Newsom and his team are doing.

He's invigorated and encouraged Dems a lot.

One thing I admired about him is that during Biden's run for re-election before he dropped out is he was a formidable and faithful spokesperson for Biden and his accomplishments. The press kept trying to encourage him to challenge Biden and he never wavered in his enthusiastic support. He was an effective spokesperson then and he clearly is an effective spokesperson now.

I like that in a candidate.

There are a lot of great Dems potentially running in 2028, and I'm encouraged about our bench.
