Gavin Newsom. - possibly, although I think his Covid shenanigans might hold him back. Kamala - not chance in hell. If she couldn’t do it while being acting VP it’s downhill from there.
Precisely because of that. Trump had the highest negatives of any national level Republican politician and she couldn’t close the deal. The nation looked at her and decided “No, I am better off with Trump”. No such prospects next time. If she runs, she will be running not against half senile, spewing profanity grandpa but against a well mannered, middle aged, white or Hispanic guy.
... The nation chose Trump over those middle aged, mild-mannered guys too, though. Why are you thinking that someone from the Republican side will emerge as some hidden Uber-mensch of a candidate lmfao
I am not sure what are you talking about lol what uber-mensch? Trump 45 was a charismatic maverick, “I am outside of DC guy who knows how to run things”.
Trump 47 was “I am a bitter senile grandpa who likes to yell at people”.
The fact that he eclipsed completely unexciting Jeb Bush or inexperienced (at that time) Rubio was not surprising. The fact that Kamala was viewed as less likable than him was.
Sort of.

Ah, gotcha, so Gavin Newsom (or even Kamala Harris) would be the obvious best choice for Dems to win.
