(931 posts)and I've disagreed with him often, he was one of the few high profile figures who actually took a potential Trump victory seriously pretty early on, and tried to warn about it.

As much as I like Gavin who will likely be the next governor of Caifornia; I strongly feel we need someone from one of the rust belt states to run and win over. Don't we need those states to win an election?!

(6,137 posts)Only if you con them, we don't do that. It is likely going to be challenging for deep blue democrat Gavin Newsom to connect with moderate/conservative voters in those states. We have to be much more strategic and not idealistic.

(49,978 posts)He did pretty well in the rust belt.
AlexSFCA
(6,137 posts)He was one of a kind. Generations from now we will remember him as the most special president in the history. Although he was considered from Chicago, midwest nevertheless.

calimary
(81,210 posts)It was a spectacular debut. Sure put Barack Obama on everybody's radar with that speech. That self-described "skinny kid with the funny name" caused a political earthquake at the 2004 convention. A star was born that night.
