    Has Newsom said he wanted the job?

    Again, it’s not about a wishlist. I am NOT AGAINST OTHER CANDIDATES.

    Just the endless hand-wringing and dropping names of those who don’t want the fucking job.

    I like Newsom. If he were the candidate, I’d vote for him. But he isn’t, at least not yet.

      Because they don’t want to undermine the party and an incumbent candidate. But, if the party opened it up and asked, “Who wants to be President?,” there’d be a rush like Black Friday.

      There were 27 candidates for the nomination in 2020, but none of them are still interested?

        Well duh, you think the Democrats are just gonna say “eh, let Trump have it”

        OF COURSE the Democrats would step up if they had to. But they don’t want that scenario. That’s the whole point. They want to coalesce behind Biden.
