One rather disturbing thing in our modern celebrity culture is that politicians are no longer very famous. Nothing like the kind of super stardom you get with others like say Kanye West or Taylor Swift. This was perhaps why Trump won so easily because he was already famous. If someone as famous as Oprah or John Cena ran I'd bet they'd have a similar advantage. I just don't see that kind of fame in either party now after Trump leaves office. Vice Presidents usually have some advantage, so I could see JD Vance easily getting the GOP nomination in 2028, but after him I don't see much on the horizon. For the Dems it's a vast wasteland of the old, crazy and irrelevant. Used car salesman/reptilian Gavin Newsom could run for President, but he's governed California so piss poorly the voters wouldn't be able to stop laughing at him. He's as incompetent as Joe Biden, but doesn't have dementia to fall back on as an excuse. He'd still do better than Kamala who had to be drunk to avoid pissing herself onstage. On the other hand you have Shapiro who might stand a chance if he wasn't Jewish and his party is increasingly being taken over by Hamas supporters.  

 
I think the person who has the best chances in 2028 is probably someone who's a complete outsider. Someone who's not in politics currently, and who comes out of left field. Much like Obama. Obama was pretty much a nobody, gave a hell of a speech, became a Senator and 4 years later became President. Something like this is what I see as the most likely candidate for 2028. With that being said, it's still far too early. I'm just glad that after two losses in a row, the Dems would have to be nuts to run a woman as their candidate again.

Crockett is the one claiming donors are already lining up behind one specific candidate. John Stossel’s is reporting people are already betting on the 2028 primaries. Podcasters, pundits and reporters across the spectrum are already talking about 2028. If anybody’s out over their skis, it’s them.

In the past, Nicky’s mentioned an affinity for Shapiro of Pennsylvania. I mark him down for Shapiro unless he’s feeling it’s another candidate that Crockett is specifically talking about. BigPapasan, being a Californian, might have a preference for Newsom, but that remains to be seen. It will also be interesting to see who Robert and Jazzy thinks Crockett’s mystery man is.

Is fast of a rate that you're going to hell, I wouldn't be thinking of 2026 either.
