Congratulations, you have just outed yourself as a racist for even thinking of replacing Harris with Newsome, in the eyes of the party you have laid down with.  The party that puts everything into what you are (identity politics), dismissing who you are.  Merit no longer matters. You want to take a black woman, the current VP off the ticket and replace her with a white man ?  You just can't do that.*

*(Edit: We have reached the point where the water in the pot is boiling and the frog can no longer get out in order to save itself. Thank you, Hillary.  She did warn us, if anyone remembers ... )

And besides, you want to turn this country into San Francisco ?  Remember that before Newsome was governor of California, he was Mayor of SF and is responsible for what that once beautiful city has become and is turning the whole state into.

So how does it feel to be an official racist© in the eyes of the party you embrace ?

Oh and in case most of you missed it, Newsome has agreed to a debate with DeSantis that will be hosted by Hannity at or around Nov 30, IIRC.  You'll have to watch Fox to see it, live anyway.

At this point in time? So close to November '24? No. 

I takes YEARS to build a presidential campaign. Long before candidates make themselves known to the public, they are wooing Big Money donors and political powers.  Occasionally you'll get someone like Trump or Obama who appears to rise up due to a grassroots groundswell, but even the dark horses needed backing from big players to break through. 

I've read a lot of carping about Biden. Apparently everyone has forgotten that the public experiences an emotional fatigue with the sitting President about this time during his first term. It happened to Bill Clinton and Barack Obama. It happened less so with GW Bush because of 9/11 and the early belief that the invasion of Iraq was justified. GHW Bush had a 90% approval rating at the end of the Gulf War in March '91 but lost the election to Clinton because he had no domestic agenda to shake voters out of their emotional fatigue with him. 

Trump may have escaped that fatigue because he was so polarizing. His supporters felt (and feel, I suspect) that an attack on Trump is an attack on them and they're not willing to disengage from him. 

I invite others here to come up with serious alternatives to Biden. It won't matter at this point because the race is already largely down to two guys but what the hey.

Well said, but we all shouldn't forget that Trump completely botched the handling of Covid and contributed to the needless deaths of hundreds of thousands of Americans. Trump also pushed crackpot "cures" like Ivermectin; quite a few of his fans took the drug and went to the hospital because of it. Trump's ignorance about Covid, pandemics and preventive measures was so great that he himself got Covid and very nearly died of it. 

As for illegal immigrants and illegal drugs, these were problems during Trump's term as well. It's doubtful that Trump or his federal government would have a better handle on them at this time. 

Finally: Trump is very likely going to go to jail over the withheld government documents. Sure, we could debate all day about January 6 and whether Trump was merely exercising his First Amendment rights, but the documents case is pretty slam dunk. He had no reason or right to hold onto those documents once he left office. He was asked politely and repeatedly for the return of them. Had he done so, he would not have gotten into trouble. 

Instead, he lied about having returned all the documents and tried to hide a number of them. He made no real effort to secure them properly. He has repeatedly tried to tamper with witnesses about the documents. He tried to suborn his lawyer to commit perjury about the matter. 

The whole documents story and the legal case surrounding it demonstrate quite clearly that Trump has a remarkably poor ability to assess risk and the consequences of blatantly violating federal law, even when he's received explicit advice on how to avoid those legal consequences. 

Let's stop pretending that Joe Biden is senile. You should be far more worried about Trump, Kurt. All the indictments he's facing are because of his own stupidity and poor judgment. The documents case is just the easiest for you to understand.

Biden secretly has let 221,456 migrants fly into the US in past year

Illegal migrants aren’t just overwhelming the border — President Biden is flying them secretly to airports around the country.
...

For this measure, Cubans, Venezuelans, Nicaraguans, Haitians and Colombians request “advance travel authorizations” through the same CBP One mobile app and take commercial flights (“at their own expense”) directly into US airports, where US Customs officers parole them into the nation, sight unseen, and in numbers publicly unknown.

Biden officials have rarely, if ever, spoken of this flight program in the year since implementing it, perhaps mindful of the political outcry over the late-night “ghost flights” that DHS stealthily arranges to ferry migrant children into various airports.

But records show that between late October 2022 and mid-September 2023, the administration approved a total of 221,456 Venezuelans, Haitians, Cubans and Nicaraguans for “travel mode: air.”

The Biden administration did not release the numbers of Colombians or Ukrainians approved to use the direct-flight parole program, meaning the number is even higher.

And recently, the administration added Hondurans, El Salvadorans and Guatemalans to the direct-flight program.

CBP has redacted and withheld the locations of the 43 interior ports of entry that have been utilized by this direct-flight program, claiming its release would harm law-enforcement techniques or procedures.

The administration has proven reluctant to provide any meaningful data about its vaunted CBP One-based border strategy, which allows mass parole of inadmissible aliens who would otherwise cross illegally.
