At least he admits California’s full of weirdos. But he’s very wrong in thinking that a guy that gets elected in a state full of commie weirdos is a shoe-in to win a national election.

He could not provide one thing positive thing Newsom has done for California. I listened to the whole podcast and it was not Maher's finest moment. He was rude, defensive, arrogant, and childish all the way through. PBD just sat back and let him make an ass of himself.
That's the precedent I think will be set. States won't be able to unilaterally block national level candidates.
It'll wind up future proofing that "state led by party X can't block candidate from party Y on the Presidential ballot".

H-o-l-y crap.
The President just held an "emergency"/impromptu press conference to respond to the special prosecutors comments about his memory and made a bad situation even worse. Who in their right mind thought this was a good idea for him to do? The thing is, Republicans can't push too hard because we have nearly a year left and NO ONE wants President Harris.
What will the Dems do? Is this part of their plan? There's no way they can continue to back Biden as a candidate in 2024. Who will be the anointed one? Newsom?..
God help us all.

I do. People need to see and feel the outcome of their decisions. The storm always gets worse before it gets better and this one hasn't reached landfall yet.

Only thing that matters to the Democrats is keeping the
out so they can continue to push their globalist agenda. It doesn't matter who's in charge as long as it's not that dirty America first, Nationalist Donald Trump.

I really think that’s her play.
I think there would be a great sigh of relief in many quarters of the Democratic Party if Biden buys the farm. And if so, I think they’ll put all their money on Harris as the potential first woman President etc. As VP she’ll have a leg up on any potential rivals…and the only one I can think of is that fruitbat from CA.
Only six months until the convention.

He has great hair, though.
Candidate Newsom is inevitable and I wouldn't rule out that he'll eventually be POTUS. It doesn't matter to the flock. Knowing what they know, or don't know, they'll still vote for him. Hillary was all out there, but for whatever reason, she almost became POTUS. Knuckleheads like Bill Maher pushing Newsom w/o being able to make the case.

This stuff used to be pretty cut and dry, but that was before the weirdness of the last couple elections and insurrections and mentally defected presidents.
I have no idea what happens if Trump is DQ'd, legally or otherwise. I 'think' #2 on the ballots would by default become #1.
Newsome cannot run this year because he missed all of the filing deadlines; however, I suppose they could do a huge, massive, orchestrated write-in campaign with his name. I don't know.
All I DO know is the entertainment value of this election just keeps getting better and better, and we're still nine months away from the election.

Historically, the closest to this crazy we've had was probably when Nixon resigned and Ford then became president? Ford then ran in 76 and lost to Carter. Yes it was pretty cut and dry. But that was then.

If Biden is out, and he has to be, the dynamic changes completely. It's no longer two old octogenarian (or close enough) vying for office, which many don't want.
Harris can't even be in the real discussion, yet, there she is. At the same time, if this goes down, Trump can't and shouldn't be the GOP candidate either. And, yet, as pointed out above, only Nicki Haley remains -- she isn't strong enough to win either. Doubtful Trump would beat a younger Dem candidate, aside from maybe Harris. It was going to be close with Biden, if he stayed in, only because of Biden's issues.
Really don't where this leads, but the press questions to that dipshit KJP should be lit today.

In 'recent' memory, that and Bush V Gore. Historically there were some whoppers...Jefferson v Adams, etc. You know the founding fathers never, ever, envisioned any of this (though Washington did talk about the dangers of political parties).
A duel would make this insanity complete.

I tell my wife there is no point in talking about the way things should be, because it doesn't change the way things are.
There is a growing chance, a reasonable chance, that Trump and/or Biden won't be there in November. Nine months to go with a man with how many lawsuits and a man the DOJ said is a mental defective.
Trump gone, it's Haley. Biden gone, it's Harris. There there are 3rd parties...Kennedy, really, who could throw some votes one way or the other. May as well throw West and Stein in the garbage.
I’d drop a Hundred on that PPV.
