The big trick here is dumping Kamala quietly so she's never even considered a contender. | | :::::Morris says Biden won't drop out until July or August, but I think you and me concur it's likely to occur between Jan - Mar.

| − | :::::In both 1976 and 1992, Carter finished second in Iowa (to "Undecided") and Clinton finished second in NH ("the comeback kid"), yet ''NYT'' declared both the Second Coming of Christ. I think Dems figure their media allies can spark enthusiasm and momentum for their new messiah Newsom overnight (and bring back the youth vote, etc). Not being a national figure, Newsom doesn't carry the baggage Trump & Biden do. There are probably people willing to vote for anybody but Biden or Trump, including Mao, Hitler, Che Guevarra, Hillary, Lynn Chwney, etc. [[User:RobSmith|RobS]]<sup>[[User talk:RobSmith|''Give Peace a Chance!'']]</sup> 22:53, November 7, 2023 (EST) | + | :::::In both 1976 and 1992, Carter finished second in Iowa (to "Undecided") and Clinton finished second in NH ("the comeback kid"), yet ''NYT'' declared both the Second Coming of Christ.
