After hearing from walz I kinda wished he was the candidate
I think he would have been a strong candidate a few election cycles ago, but likely not a winner in today's climate. We have a LOT of pent-up rage in our population, as a result of our national "fierce independence" reaching its own "late stage" level.
Waltz has bite and sharpness that would appeal to a lot of people if he were un-muzzled, but he's still not going to fit the "WWE theater" spectacle that engages the stupidest people, and which because of systemic sabotage of our elections, is the only segment of the population who votes anymore.
While I don't like him at all, I think Newsom fits this role the best and might be the strongest contender if we have elections again. (And he will probably be more likely to cheat in some way.)
