    It’ll be a long arduous road if she plans on losing to Eric in 2028, but I’m fully confident in her ability.

      I think it’d Donald Jr who will run, they won’t even need to change the monograms on the gold toilet seat covers

        He’ll probably also be able to keep the oval office Coke button, with updates.

    Good. But that just means she’s trying for President again in '28 which is bad.

      I mean, she would have made an adequate President, in the same way that Velveeta can be adequate cheese.

        I’d still prefer Velveeta over a Cheeto-dusted turd.

    So she will no longer have a Nixon-like route.

        Nixon was the Republican candidate for the 1960 election and lost to JFK.

        Then, in 1962, he ran as a Republican candidate for governor of California and lost again to a Democrat.

        He then ran for president in 1968 and won, but had to resign his second term due to the Watergate scandal.

    It’s because Elani’s billionaire father already bought the position and “nobody better dare try to challenge her!”

    From April 2023:

    Eleni Kounalakis first to launch campaign for California governor in 2026

    …

    Cop history aside, I actually do like Kamala and think she did an AMAZING job of trying to salvage the shitfest that biden et al left her with. But she is already a failure, she is brown, and she is a she. She would need to run the greatest campaign ever to even stand a chance in the United States.

    That said… I do darkly worry that the Democrats might have trouble finding good candidates for POTUS since there is a non zero chance that seal team six gets sent after them because it is an official act…
