I personally think an Asian trans woman would be a better option. Just spitballing here.

Keep telling yourselves the voters are racist and/ or misogynist and not that your candidates and ideas suck.

Psychoactive drug ibogaine effectively treats traumatic brain injury in special ops military vets
Stanford Medicine researchers find that ibogaine, a plant-based psychoactive compound, safely led to improvements in depression, anxiety and functioning among veterans with traumatic brain injuries.

I know about it. The feds just cancelled massive amounts of research, I heard more than a few conservatives say government shouldn't be spending on research. Why should Kentucky fund it and not the feds? Why should Kentucky and not Merck? If you do not like Beshear for not funding it, why not anger at the other 49 governors (and president)?Learn more, then come back.

Obviously you didn't listen to Bryan Hubbard. And I am sure you won't.
But since Kentucky and Bashear said no, the project moved to Texas, who just approved $50 million for research.
With Rick Perry’s backing and $50 million from the state, Texas set to become a leader in psychedelics research
Lawmakers have approved funding clinical trials for ibogaine as a treatment for addiction and brain trauma. It comes as Texas contemplates banning THC.

You raise a good point Marv. I’m a strong supporter of Ibogaine and Psilocybin therapy but would like to see it privately funded.
However, given the regulatory environment that comes with these being schedule 1 drugs, private research funding is near impossible to obtain.
In a rare moment of agreement, we both think Gov should legalize both and get the hell out of the way.
Similar to Covid, imo. No I don’t want the Federal government sending out unemployment checks and passing the multi-trillion dollar CARES act. But the government is also the one that shut down my business in the first place for no reason.
Being a covid shutdown guy would cripple Bechear were he to get the nomination.............
People have memory holed Covid, not sure it carries much political weight. Which is why it is important guys like you and me keep calling for the public execution of lockdown/ vax mandate mayors, governors and federal officials.
I do not know of any true real moderate des . They claim Mark Kelly is a moderate but he votes like a far left wing liberal and blasts ICE.
He talks a great game but look at how he votes. He votes with the dems 100% of the time. Sinema was far more moderate than him.
The Dems must find a reasonable woman to run. The No Kings fiasco (allegedly the greatest political protest in history) was a women event. The Dems are hemorrhaging men, particularly working men. AWFL’s are in charge. They have a tough row to hoe. The Dems are in sorry financial shape.
I don’t know if there is such a thing as a reasonable liberal woman, but if one doesn’t exist, Im sure the Dems and their media spin masters can create one. Right now, Im guessing Whitmer.
Hint: If you don't know of anyone on the other team who is a moderate, it's because you are the extremist.
I'll throw legendary bluesman Hank "Island Tipping" Johnson into the conversation.

I'll give him credit for committing to it and seeing it through to the end.

Who takes up Trump’s mantle? I agree with you that he will be president for 3+ more years
Trump’s tenuous coalition holds together with Vance? Get serious.
Once Trump is gone Conservatives and Republicans will have to have a real come to Jesus moment about what Conservatism and Republicans really stand for. And that probably means losing a Presidential election 2028.
Dems are on life support. Their voting base is old and dying off. Secondly, the 2030 census will be a shift changer.
They desperately need a leader. It’s a rudderless ship. Trump, for better or worse, does lead.
DNC is bankrupt. Is it a coincidence that the USAID spigot got shut off a couple months before? Maybe.
If they run Rahm, I’d vote for Rahm. But he won’t get out of the primary.
I think the Vance/ Gabbard foreign policy views are kind of scary. They’re willing to abdicate all moral leadership in the world in the pursuit of what?
A transactional, capitalist type of hedonism.
The problem with fetterman is he keeps making normal statements but he still 100% votes with dems. At lease sinema held the line sometimes. Mark Kelly is the same way claims to be a moderate but 100% votes with the dems. Its why tester lost he kept voting with dems while claiming to be a moderate in a red state. I did not like mccain but he did break party ranks and dems just will not. If you want to be seen as a moderate you have to vote with the other side on some key votes
I just bought a new Jeep, I named it Elizabeth Warren, because it is all White but says it’s a Cherokee🤭
Beat me to it. Cuban was my first thought. Smart moderate Dem/Ind that gets it.
Bashear lost me with this.
Kentucky’s $42m Ibogaine Funding Appears Dead in the Water - Psychedelic Alpha
Those who support cleaving off $42 million in opioid settlement funds to support ibogaine research and drug development have lost a key champion this week as the Kentucky Opioid Abatement Advisory…psychedelicalpha.com
Why?
can we find a governor candidate for once? It’s been a while since the Dems ran one of those. I don’t know much about Bashear, the guy from MD, CT, etc., but there has to be a moderate one among them.
Googly, pretty much agree. but...
Dems must find a popular (don't necessarily mean populist a la Trump) candidate who can come up with simple message such as Make America Great Again.
Trump also built a majority in the key states necessary to win the electoral college which along with solid Pub states gave him a so-called landslide.
At this point, don't see a Dem fitting my bill above, or a Pub who can hold the Trump factions together.
JDB, good point from a historic standpoint.
However, as I've constantly emphasised, Trump as a celebrity/billionaire businessman, has changed traditions. Often wonder why it took so long in retrospect.
I do not think of that dude when moderate governors are the topic of conversation.
I wish him luck. He'll need it.He has a few years to change your mind.
