The 2028 Presidential election is going to be here before we know it, and both parties are beginning to consider their potential candidates. The Republicans have people like JD Vance and Marco Rubio, who are proven leaders that have actual stances on policy. In other words, they have true ideas that resonate with the American people.

The Democrats, meanwhile, have Gavin Newsome and Kamala Harris, who are so far removed from American reality it is laughable. Now, the self-proclaimed 'party of diversity,' reportedly has a new groundbreaking idea for 2028. Reports say the Democrat strategists are suggesting their 2028 candidate needs to be a "white guy."

Mind you, we did that with President Biden. We all saw how that worked out. Not very well. It is another bit of hypocrisy from a party hellbent on diversity and inclusion for everyone. But beyond that too, the idea is just a failure to begin with because of what they have to present.

There is no young rising "white guy" star in the party. Unless you count James Talarico; most logical people would not. So, this plan is not only ironic and hypocritical, but also destined to fail.

Republican strategist Jeanette Hoffman says they are once again more worried about race or gender than things a voter might desire.

"They need to get back to kitchen table issues, focusing on affordability and the economy, instead of woke pronouns and things like that," she says.

Affordability and the economy are the biggest issues for people. We are so far done, beyond, and fatigued with the DEI inclusivity, we need diversity in every field thing. Those days are done. People want solutions, not theatre.

But that is all they offer now. Theare and drama instead of real policy. Which is why they are failing.

"What the American people need is a party that focuses on them and their issues," says Hoffman.

Somewhere along the line though, the party lost that. They became power hungry and a shell of anything that resemble logic or common sense. The progressive movement has split the party and taken approvals to an all-time low of nine percent.

So, this idea is bound to fail but not just because they lack connection with the American people. That much has been established in the last decade. But the party, as mentioned, lacks any kind of meat, especially in terms of their dream for a "white guy" candidate.

Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro is not well-known enough. The repackaging of a "new and improved" Pete Buttigieg every six months has not worked. Talarico is as unpopular as they come in Texas alone, forget the rest of the country. They just have nothing to throw out that truly is a threat.

"Look at Gavin Newsom, if you say you want a white male politician...his policies are terrible, California continues to fail in mostly every metric," Hoffman says. "When you have candidates that just focus on surface appeal...you are not going to win any election in the near future."

That is the problem the Democrat party is facing. Just some self-reflection and picking literally anyone that is not a far--left progressive might win them the election in 2028.

Instead, they keep doing the same thing and will keep losing.
