It's crazy how every popular Democrat figure has been attempting to cultivate their voting base early for 2028. Kamala is constantly doing podcasts and PR, AOC and Bernie teamed up immediately, and Newsom is trying to appear as the stand-up Democrat who will stick it against the tyrant.
And they’re all failing miserably. I guarantee the candidate will either be someone awful (Jasmine Crockett) or a dark horse in 27.
There's a slim chance they won't fail in 2026 but let me break down exactly why I think they're going to fail in 2028: because this entire fucking time every single one of them has been running against TRUMP, not VANCE.
All of them look at Vance and see that he is the anti-Trump in every measurable metric. He is well spoken, he is able to control his temper, he can debate someone and make them look stupid without insulting them at all, he is married to a minority and has been faithful to his wife for their entire marriage, he's young, he was military, the list goes on and on.
JD Vance is a once in a generation politician and every single one of these loony left idiots are desperately trying to make it all about Trump because they know the second they make it about JD, it's over.
Just on his background alone he has the white trash AND minority vote locked in. He will keep the MAGA vote because they will stay loyal to him, but he will be able to bring in even more independents and maybe even flip some dems.
Gavin is desperately trying to become the left-wing version of Trump for the same reason that all of them have been basically campaigning against Trump instead of Vance: because when it comes to integrity, and honesty and faith and being able to be a good person... none of them can hold a candle to Vance.
So the plan right now is to aim all of their cannons at Trump and just hope that Vance somehow goes down with that ship, but in my opinion I think they are sorely mistaken. That being said it's the only strategy they have to combat Vance.
