Imagine if Gavin Newsom was Biden's VP instead of Kamala Harris

[texasfiddler]

Would Pod Save America, Carville, and all these other Nay Sayers be this upset about a disappointing Biden Debate if Gavin Newsom was the VP? (Keep in mind Black Women are the Fucking Backbone of our Party). If we change the candidate to Gavin Newsom, what do you think will happen. Plus the GOP will hammer $7.00 per gallon gas because of Newsom. Please stay with Biden. I predicted Biden would beat tRump in 2020 over Sanders, I predict Biden will beat tRump in 2024. Even with the Debate. Hell, don't take my word for it, listen to Lichtman.

2. Yea but...

…Newsom has a penis to keep his brain in. SHE doesn’t.

3. A whole different story.

4. Are they making the argument that Newsom and not Harris should be the VP?

If not, you're going to have to explain your line of thinking a little more clearly. I truly don't understand. Why wouldn't they be as upset about Biden's performance if Newsom were VP?

6. Because Newsom is white and MALE.

Carville already complained a few months ago,
that 'the problem with the Democratic party is
that it has become too feminized'...

Try unpacking that....

What I think the OPer is trying to say,
is that their white male egos would make them lay off of President Biden a tad,
if Kamala was replaced on the ticket
with the 'white knight' Newsom---

Then they would have something new and exciting to talk about
a new white male running mate

(and I can't dispute that the OP might not have a point--
regardless of how much damage dumping Kamala would do
to the Democratic coalition--- some of these pundits, particularly Carville,
have already amply displayed their disregard for the Democratic coalition
simply by demanding that President Biden withdraw from the race)

5. You have a point. Personally, I think Newsom is too smooth for 'middle America'..

and won't have the wide appeal many here assume.

But then I also think Harris would be a weak candidate vs trump.

7. Cue the conspiracy theories.

RIVALRY! Poisoning! Playing cards in his bike spokes!

Wags already have Duterte and Marcos in a cage match.

Can't we all just get along?
NO, it's not news unless there's a rumble.
Think of opera. All conspiracies and 99% sad endings.
Diffrence? Opera has great music. News has commercials.


Kamala Harris represents hope for millions.
And she's a former state Attorney General.



People matter.
Pundits can

8. I can't be too impressed with anyone that had anything to do with Kimberly Gargoyle. Sorry. Character matters. n/t
