The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

Actually, the "thing in common" that the four governors who you feel are potential 2028 Dem nominees have, is that they are all middle-aged or older Judeo-Christian white males.

Gretchen Witmer is not a white male.

And what makes you think that Shapiro was not chosen because he was Jewish?

That fits with the drumbeat hammered incessantly by right wing propaganda machine, but that’s simply your very stilted view of things.

And, “Dems will NOT nominate a Jew”?

Given that the great majority of Jews in Congress are Democrats, and ALL six of the current Jewish governors are Democrats, I rate your absolute claim as nonsense.

Only one thing can be discerned: There’s a far more likely chance that if a Jew is nominated for either the presidency or vice-presidency, he or she will be a Democrat.

If “past is prologue” of course.

Progress comes in fits and starts, and we seem further along on that road than you are.

First woman nominated for VP? Democrat

First woman nominated for president? Democrat

First black man nominated for president? Democrat

First black woman nominated for president? Democrat.

First Jew?

Who know?

But our talent pool dwarfs yours
++++

Cue marco’s usual nonsense. After criticizing Democrats for “not ever gonna nominate a Jew”, he’ll switch to “Dems choose their leaders using DEI”.
