As we saw in 2016 though it's inherently different for Dems and Republicans, because the GOP hard-right are willing to forgive just about anything that they would typically disagree with morally to support a candidate who they feel represents them.
Newsom would be hard pressed not to attack Trump personally when asked to do so by the media - any attempts not to do so when asked direct questions would be construed as him not being strong enough in his condemnation of him, which will energise voters who are unsure if they want to support the Dem candidate but can't stand Trump.
that's not the real lesson of 2016, trump appealed to the inner desires of the GOP base, the dems need to pick someone who appeals to the democratic base
The media wouldn't be dictating Newsom or any other Dem strategy though. When dealing with Trump, the old maxim of "Don't mud wrestle a pig. You will only get dirty and the pig will like it", applies. The general public aren't interested in squandering debate time talking about someone Trump attempted to fondle decades ago when they could be talking about single payer, taxes, gun control etc. Ultimately, whoever beats Trump will do so by articulating a positive vision by winning the battle of ideas - not by wallowing in negativity.
Of course - not disputing that. But it's also the case that a Dem candidate with scandals the GOP can point to (personal or political) will be hindered in the process, irrespective of whether they're left/centrist.
I'm not suggesting that they wallow in negativity or don't discuss policy - I'm saying that personal issues are inherently going to be an extensive point of discussion among the news media, and that Newsom would receive a lot of scrutiny for any perceived scandals he has.
Didn't hinder Bill.
That’s a long time ago though - a lot more scrutiny with social media etc today.
It's not that long ago. People don't care what you do in the bedroom unless kids are involved.
I love Joe Biden but just think he will be too old to start a first term. Personally I think POTUS should be between 35 and 65 and the start of a first term.
I think 2020 is going to be one of those situations where there are a couple of anointed candidates, who in the end are beaten to the nomination by a younger upstart. We just dont yet know who that person is.
Tulsi Gabbard. With Jill Stein, Nina Turner or Jeff Merkley as her running mate.
All of these should run for the Green Party nomination.
Do you mean the latter three or are you including Gabbard?
Definitely Stein as well since she is already in the Green Party. Gabbard and Turner are unelectable. Merkeley is a Dem, but fairly anonymous and also unelectable.
Is Gabbard not well known and taken seriously enough to get the Green Party some votes? You're quite critical of Nader aren't you?
I think she would run as a Dem (since she currently is one). She'd get a fair amount of niche votes during the primary season, but would struggle against more seasoned politicians on the Dem side. She also happens to be in the Bernie wing of the party and since he is already looking into running, her best shot may be to position herself as a potential VP candidate. That would allow him to balance his age alongside a younger candidate who has some degree of connection with younger voters.
Nina Turner, Jeff Merkley, and Tulsi are long-time Dems.
I know. I was being facetious.
Tusli should go for it....I have always wanted to get behind a politician I wouldn't mind getting behind...if you know what I mean.

So back on topic. I hope all of the US caftards that are Dems are going to get involved in the next election cycle. Register with the Demcratic party. Volunteer to take people to the polls if you have a car, do something.
More like native American fantasies.
Keep an eye on Beto O'Rourke. Currently within single digits of Lyin' Ted Cruz in their Texas Senate race. He likely won't win but is carrying himself very well to where he may become a factor as a VP or possibly even a Presidential candidate.
If Lyin Ted is ever in danger of losing an election he'll promptly pull up tent and go for a legal position.
He can lose.
They'd need to get an ID to vote first though.
At this point I don't think anyone cares about Biden's age.
If Biden stands, I'm sure he'll be the Dem nominee. And Good chance to be the next president.
Well hopefully whoever is the Dem nominee will become the next POTUS. The alternative doesn't bear thinking about.
Dems better start building up a good candidate now or else they'll get their asses handed to them again if they show up with the same old faces for next election.
