ENTER STAGE LEFT

 


I said "enter" Snagglepuss not exit. Sheesh!

Regular readers of this blog will no doubt remember that I forecast that Kamala Harris should be President of the USA HERE and HERE or, failing that, Vice President HERE

Harris is impressive but, inexplicably has been kept out of the limelight in favour of the doddery old Biden. This is a shame but maybe it's that the Democrats are holding her in reserve for future elections. I stand by my recognition of her and also of this outstanding young candidate: OCASIO-CORTEZ


Well, if Harris and Ocasio-Cortez are being kept under wraps for later, at least the Democrats have got some other excellent contenders unlike the struggling Republicans who put up some extremely weak opposition to Donald Trump in the running for G.O.P. presidential candidate. Maybe that was the plan though.

Enter Stage Left

I watched Gavin Newsom, Governor of California on TV the other night and it looks like this guy has all the goods necessary to run for POTUS:
  • He's a winner.
  • He is experienced.
  • He has charisma.
  • He is governor of California the the most powerful US state (Reagan was governor of California and went on to be president).
  • He looks good.
  • He's youngish.
  • He's intelligent.


He's basically everything that Donald Trump isn't but hey, all he has to do is look and smell better than this guy:



Have a look at this, I recommend it.



Newsom has been at pains to say that he is not running for the 2024 ticket but you have to wonder why he's been doing all this 'campaigning'.
I hope that his name officially pops up soon.

Stay posted!

Here is one of a couple of things I spotted...
"Keeping to the USA presidential them the references to other candidates made for interesting supporting points."
To quote TC, "Sheesh!"

WHAT GOVERNOR NEWSOM SAID: “Radical politicians continue their all out assault on women's health care with dangerous and deadly consequences. The right to an abortion is enshrined in California's constitution. We will continue to protect women and health care workers who are seeking and providing basic care.”

He was lucky his mother didn't have an abortion.

Where's the rigorous objectivity you demand of the religious?

Ha ha, I might have known.Robert would never support a good candidate who is pro choice. He no doubt would give his vote to a lying old rapist like Trump who is on record of being pro choice supporting abortion until recently when he saw that there were ‘bible belt’ votes to be had by being anti-abortion.
