Kamala / Walz 2028

Which is actually an advantage. They’re both riding that “generic democrat” wave right now.

FoxNews et al didn’t see this coming, so they didn’t spend 4+ years meat-tenderizing their audience’s brains like they did with HRC. I think they thought even if Biden dropped out it would be someone else. Also they’re all right-wing grifters, so they can’t conceive of personal sacrifice for the sake of one’s country.

Also Kamala is somewhat teflon. But if she wins, they’ll have 4 years to find lots of angles.

The dems should just wait until the last minute to nominate some fairly random person every time they’re not an incumbent running.

I think that is 100% true of Walz. He is like the ultimate generic D. All the upside of generic D, with even more upside.

Kamala on the other hand is anything but generic Dem. Black woman Pres nominee is anything but generic.

I wonder if GOP is going to try to copy this one weird trick after Orange Man is gone.

He is going to get to run as long as he wants to and can draw breath.

Generic meaning in the polls when they ask Trump vs. (unspecified) Democrat. Low info normies still don’t have a strong opinion on her because she hasn’t been in the cross hairs for years.

It will be hilarious if he loses and runs again in 2028. You’d think 2 time election loser would be enough. But who knows.

I got that. My point was that plenty of low info normies are racist and sexist, so Kamala loses their vote the moment they put a face to the name.

It would be funny, but I don’t think I can handle the sweat. This one is killing me especially since a lot of the people here seem to feel like it’s mission accomplished already.

100% agree with this, but do you think this is still the case going forward? Can a left leaning candidate win a primary now or will they be cock blocked again? Have Dems learned that shifting right is not the answer for winning elections?

Also, is this even right… Is the only reason it worked this time because it’s against a fascist authoritarian and next time we return to normal?

It’s really a case by case thing. Depends on the candidate. My comment was specifically about those two.

Somewhat surprised Liz Cheney isn’t speaking. She seems as anti Trump as Kinzinger and has said she will do everything possible to make sure he’s not elected. Maybe she still has political aspirations if the Republican party ever is won back?

it’s just so much better this way

honestly though even if Kamala isn’t “generic” she’s still way, way more novel than Trump, who we’ve been dealing with for almost 10 years straight now, in most people’s minds he’s much more like the incumbent and she’s much more like the challenger just from a mental fatigue point of view.

I tend to doubt that’s in order. Seems like it’s grouped by title more than anything. Would be surprising if they led with nothing but senators and then let reps handle the whole back half.

It’s annoying difficult to find the actual order of speakers. I think yesterday a schedule was not released until very late in the day, and then the schedule was changed on the fly. I haven’t found anything about an order, so it could be that one is not yet set.

Burying Clinton in the middle of the 8 oclock hour is the correct play.
