When I read that Governor Pritzker and Governor Newsom were both thinking of running for president, I thought, “Wouldn’t it be swell if they’d get together early on, see what their differences are, and figure out a way to structure the ideal candidate and campaign? Then, instead of a debate where people call each other names and impugn each other’s integrity and political know-how, they could present a united front and jump-start the REAL campaign for a Democratic contender for the White House.”
I mean, how much more could the Democratic Party get done as far as campaigning goes, if they didn’t piddle around trying to find a candidate? Mold the one most likely to win the office, and take it from there.
Note to all contenders, and the DNC: As we’ve seen, “I am not Donald Trump” is not an effective campaign strategy.
Note to same: Don’t count on reversing tariffs as your only line.
Note: Even civil rights won’t win the day.
Have a sound fiscal and economic policy ready to go, add much-needed foreign affairs expertise, and put the other things on top of it. Have a structure, not one cause, to build the campaign on.
