A piece of shit spray-painted blue is guaranteed at least 75 million votes. If Gavin Newsom runs, and whoever runs against him can't motivate turnout, he wins.
Well I do have good news for you. I don't see Newsom energizing the far left voters.

No far left, no 75 million votes as they all protest latte-sip and take out not just their votes, but their pavement pounding and volunteer work.

You'd need it to be deader than Obama v. Romney to get to this point, and I just don't see the GOP going that apathetic unless Trump blows up politically somewhere.
 
That's pathetic if true, the same way it was pathetic when Vance fell in line when he claimed Trump wasn't a fit for the White House. But if we're going to allow Vance to change his mind and decide Trump's ideas have overall been a net positive, then I believe Massie deserves the benefit of the doubt for similar changes. I doubt he would actually support much of what Biden did if you asked him today anyway.
Massie will never be President, because he looks like this

This is not the face of a leader of men, he looks like a nice guy from the Finance department who collects stamps and drives a Hyundai. The beard makes him look less dorky, but Massie can neither dilly dally or lock in.

Newsom has too much scandal under his belt to get away with this
You are overestimating the "Median swing state voter who casts the tiebreaking ballot". If you're thinking "glued-to-teevee water retaining fatty who works at mcdonalds", no, most of these people are already decided. The true "Tiebreaker" is someone who does not consume newsmedia and stays at home. They are not tied to a party and have no views on what is good or bad, they simply go with the flow.

Have you ever been attacked by a swan? While fishing, if you place your rod on your head, they will be convinced you are a 10-15ft tall monster because of the way they judge size. Similarly, if a pleb sees an attractive person using buzzwords that mean nothing, they will vote for them over the unattractive or "mid" person who uses valid rationale to prove their point. Hence, if the population of "decideds" were equal (Thankfully, it is not), Vance would lose to Newsom since Vance is worse looking and has a bad habit of making valid and rational arguments designed to be understood, rather than loudly saying buzzwords while looking good.
Remember, these "people" do not actually understand what is being said, they just want to feel like that person is worthy of leading them.

Another coin in the "Please God destroy democracy once and for all" jar.
 
My money's on something about the hippies creating proto-polarization that led to general retardation. No one left the matrix, they just got fed into their respective subgroups of the matrix.
In my opinion, I think the academic hippies never got the payoff they wanted. The real hippies were vagrants who did drugs and floated from place to place and glomped onto the activism of the time because it was a big drug-fueled party. Meanwhile, the academic hippies were all nerds who never wanted to rub elbows with the dirty, no-shoes-wearing druggies and never got laid.

Then the activism of the late 60's and the 70's fizzled and gave way to Reaganism. When Clinton got into office, they all jizzed their pants and got post-nut clarity when he was mugged by reality and cucked by fucking Newt Gingrich, of all people. The wild activism of the 2010's was the time for the honey-dicked Boomer academic leftists to finally get their time in the sun, which they did get, but now the party's over and everyone's going home. These academics are now the dude in his late 20's who sneaked into a college party, the sun is up, and they are breathlessly rambling how the party's just getting started, maaaaaan.
 
Trump shared the killcam:

Dear Donald.

Can we borrow your air strike guys for a few weeks? We've got some scum in the English Channel needs a dose of this medicine, but our own government likes to take it up the arse from their brown skinned brethren so refuses to do anything to stop them.

Best,
The UK.
 
It's because Trump was never a political figure to them. He was a TV and tabloid funny businessman who represented high society. Boomers don't see Trump as political. They see him as a lying cheapskate who was always a lying conman. That's who DJT always was to them. Unfortunately, most Boomers are fucking stupid and even if Trump cured cancer and gave it for free, they'd still be convinced he's a lying conman. That's Boomers for ya. They will NEVER accept Donald Trump as a President because they already have a schema of him as TV conman.

"Schema" must be some sort of psychology major

I do not hate massie but as of right now his entire political base is being mindlessly contrion, maybe by the time 28 comes around he improves but right now looking amazing.

We're not doing lookism with Vance as some positive example are we? Not even a few years ago he looked like Augustus Gloop in business casual.
 
My nigger, are you high? Newsom can't even fake a smile without looking like a date rapist

His mean tweets gimmick of trying to copy Trump won't work either. It's tryhard and pathetic. He's a white Jasmine Crockett.
As much as I want to agree this is confirmation bias'd, Noobs-cum does looksmog vance unless you find the worst possible photo.
