in my opinion, America is not going to vote for a female regardless of how highly qualified she might be - sad but true.

Not sure he would go over well in Texas or the south.

We can't choose our candidates based on that criteria....

I'd love to see the next Dem president appoint Kamala Harris as the Attorney General.

Which of the prospective Democratic candidates do you think would do well in the south and in Texas, potentially putting states like Louisiana, Mississippi and Alabama in play for the 2028 cycle?

The reality is, the 2028 Dem nominee will be a straight, white male not named Newsom or Shapiro.

Reminder- Carter, Clinton, and Obama didn’t appear on the polls taken in the spring of 1974, 1990 or 2006, not even in single digits.

You know who doesn’t appear on this poll?

Chris Murphy.

One would hope that would be the priority here in March of '26.
