well a different democrat won't have better results against trump. manchema aren't hurting biden specifically, it's the democratic brand as a whole.

Guess we have to agree to disagree then :manny: I a think younger Dem who polls well would have a better chance of winning (regardless of opponent) than Biden

Not only is there the fact that corrupt Dems ruined his term, but outside of that I'm pretty sure Biden's age will be used against him (even though there's no reason to think he's senile).

Newsom comes off as an elitist pretty-boy. He is not going to appeal to blue-collar whites.

I'm not really sure chasing blue-collar white voters is really even worthwhile. At this point they're attached to the GOP pretty strongly.

Elections are decided much more by turnout than swing voters. IMO Dems need to worry more about getting their side to turn out than making futile attempts to get working class white voters.

I was thinking of someone like Mark Warner, but he is not charismatic enough

Seth Moulton is another name that comes to mind, but he also lacks charisma. His 2020 campaign went nowhere.

Dem primary voters wouldn't go for either of those guys plus I don't see how they appeal to swing voters.

They need a candidate like Buttigieg but with a governor or senate seat.

It's not 2020 anymore. At this point Biden's chances against Trump aren't better than anyone else, maybe worse.

Dems would be better off with someone with less baggage. I say just see who polls well in 2023 and run them. :yeshrug:
Trump vs Biden would be closer than Trump vs anyone else.
But I think there's going to be some spoilers candidates in that race.
If Trump runs, I don't see Pompeo, DeSantis, Haley running.

Trump
Pence
Romney - Solely to stop Trump
Larry Hogan - Solely to stop Trump
Charlie Baker - Solely to stop Trump
Liz Chaney - Solely to stop Trump.

Chris Christie, Josh Hawley, Tom Cotton, Ted Cruz possibly. Depends on if they think Trump is weakened.

I think Kinzinger may run. But I think he's trying to decide if it's to solely stop Trump, or does he really want the throne.

They still need to get as many blue collar white as possible. It's not about winning them, it is about keeping the margins down.

Also, they need to keep the margins down among suburban whites.

Someone like Newsom would have many of the same problems that Hillary Clinton had with the white suburban and blue-collar electorate. He seems like an untrustworthy, out of touch liar.

DeSantis will run against Trump, Cruz might too.
