He brings up some good points, and now I agree with him.

It doesn't work out for Newsom even if he wanted to run. Assuming he wins CA-GOV he'd be sworn in Jan 2019 and at the latest announce by July 2019. What kind of accomplishments is he going to gather in that short timeframe, not much time to even build support with your own constituents.

He already has accomplishments re: Same-sex marraige in San Francisco.

+ healthcare in SF

Los Angeles mayor Eric Garcetti was interviewed on the new episode of The Atlantic's podcast. He talked about local government as a more immediate responder to "real" issues, mulled over the reputation of the LAPD, and most importantly, gave one of the few Truly Great Answers when asked what his favorite film about L.A. was. At the end of the chat, he was asked about running for president, and gave what the accompanying article termed an "artful dodge":

Bain Capital. No way he wins a primary. Probably 8th in Iowa, 6th in New Hampshire and done by Nevada.

Jeff Merkley and Cory Booker say Trump should resign over sexual allegations.

Jeff Merkley and Cory Booker say Trump should resign over sexual allegations.

Every Dem in the country could call for his resignation and he wouldn’t resign. Heck, he could be impeached and I wouldn’t be surprised to see him try to find a way to veto his own impeachment. He has less class than Nixon.

Probably satirical, but Bill Kristol seems to believe Nikki Haley could primary Trump in 2020: https://twitter.com/BillKristol/status/939980859633012737

It's more useful to recognize in the sense of posturing for a 2020 run, not for having actual effect regarding Trump.

Even if he's serious, his word is worth about as much as Trump's... So very little.

Haley would get crucified in a General over working for Trump.

A successful GOP primary challenger who also wins the General Election (if such a person exists) will likely be someone who currently is not in office and has not worked for Trump, like Kasich, Romney,Jeb Bush or possibly Kelly Ayotte, if the GOP wants to nominate a woman.

I don't believe Biden is actually running. 2016 was his last chance.

I disagree - that ageist argument will be shot down by baby boomers at the polls

Booker is quite shameless huh?
