Harris was already a senator. Being appointed to the Senate would be a demotion at this point and she doesn’t want it. Of course, when you say “It will be an offer she can’t refuse,” I suppose you mean she will be forced to accept it. I don’t think that will happen; it would alienate the Democrats’ base which is women and black people.

I agree that if Biden’s weakness and corruption get bad enough, a lot of Democrats may sit this one out.” – Mike K.

Agreed. The GOP needs to have an abortion platform that refutes the Democrats’ claims that Republicans want to ban abortion and birth control.

The Biden age issues, and corruption will not deter most Democrats, but it only takes a few thousand staying home in swing states to make a difference.

If Trump had some “appropriate adult” to advise him and was willing to follow the advice, he’d beat Biden, but I don’t see signs of anybody like that on the horizon.

Newsom isn’t planning to run, but he must have some back-up plan if things go south with old Joe. Saying now that he won’t run and in a sense endorsing Harris may make things difficult for him if putting Plan B into effect becomes a possibility.

Imagine that mug shot face at the inauguration.

He would be likely to think any opposition to any of his policies is more of the same and take it as such, even if it were the usual policy/political difference.

If he is the nominee, the election is going to be…words fail. And that’s just the voting part.

Newsom is no stranger to musical beds; he had an affair around 2007 with Ruby Rippey-Tourk, his campaign manager’s wife, before he married his current whatever. He refers to her as the “first partner” of California, which tells you something about his respect for marriage.

From that Legal Insurrection article’s comments, it seems that Newsom’s new nickname is Governor Brylcreem.

It was first advertised on television with the jingle “Brylcreem — A Little Dab’ll Do Ya! Brylcreem — You’ll look so debonair. Brylcreem — The gals’ll all pursue ya; they’ll love to run their fingers through your hair!”…Another version was “Brylcreem—a little dab will do ya! Use more only if you dare; but watch out! The gals will all pursue ya! They’ll love to run their fingers through your hair!” [Yuck!]

What seems weird to me is that Newsom’s ex-wife, the bombshell-ish Kimberly Guilfoyle, is Donald Trump Jr.’s fiancee.

I think abortion had a lot to do with the 2022 election.

I agree that if Biden’s weakness and corruption get bad enough, a lot of Democrats may sit this one out.
