"Such a short time ago, but a century of time in terms of the shifting political landscape.

Unlike during the political moment of John Kasich, today’s political environment favors state leaders with a track record of looking out for and being respected by the citizens of their own states."

I hope you are right and the key here in your statement is --- shifting landscape.

I admittedly don't watch day to day so I don't feel my finger is in pulse nevertheless, my snapshot:

60% I feel the Dem primary voter is angry. Wants someone "who will stick it to MAGA" because "I'm tired of being bullied by MAGA"

40% I feel the Dem primary voter will say "I just want normalcy again"

My wish: The Dem Primary voter would harness ALL of those sentiments and ask "who is best suited to WIN" and I just have a doubt on that one.

I think Beshear refers to the "renewal" sentiment in the party and he's banking on that, versus being the candidate who tweets and punches trump in the mouth all the time (think AOC, Gavin)

All I know is this: If I'm Karl Rove. KellyAnne. Lee Atwater. If I'm Jedi on TMF: Fairly or not, I could Willioe Horton the shit out of Gavin. I predicted it would happen to Harris---it DID. I could tie every freaking illegal alien thing to Gavin.

Beshear? WTF am I gonna do? Whine that he helped a rural health center? That he built a needed hospital in a black neighborhood?

If I was a Rightie ....I'd hate to go against Beshear.

My fear: Beshear, Rahm, and others will split the "normalcy" vote. AND then -- with a plurality of the vote ----the Progressives will take the nomination.

That's how Trump did it in 2016---- multiple establishment guys split the normalcy vote. Trump, via plurality took the "we're sick of this shit" vote.

You have faith in the voter.

Mine is all but gone.
