One can only hope he does run. You forgot to mention Kamala Harris as part of the clown show. And it will be a clown show on steroids. I imagine 20 or so Democommies running for POTUS, and because of name recognition, Harris could win. I do not see Newsom winning, for his time as CA Governor will bury him. He was absolutely horrible. His opponents will eat him alive in debates regarding many negatives while he was governor.
And don't forget Steven A. Smith. The ego maniac wants to run for POTUS too. And then there is Big Mike. He/she might come to the rescue of the Democommie Party, and will most certainly win the day. And it is about winning, so Dem strategists will be looking to plug the person they believe has a genuine chance to win in November, 2028.
And last but not least, Wrecking Ball Joe, if he is still kicking around, he might decide to run again too. Imagine if he throws his hat in the race. He supposedly has cancer, but he is still making appearances, as if anyone cares to hear what he has to say. But who knows, he might be able to use the old Judo Christian guilt trip to convince Dem voters to vote for him. He certainly lies like the best of them. How wonderful everything was when he was POTUS! Hmmm!
Bottomlline, America will not vote for a gay man to be POTUS in my lifetime, so Don Lemon and Pete Buttijegg are NOT viable candidates, no matter how delusional they are!
