Top Five Democratic Contenders?

 At this point...mid-2026....I am basically discounting all House/Senate potential candidates in 2028....none are 'worthy'.

Governor Newsom?  Based on potential charges....fed-type....he's probably out.

Josh Shapiro (Pennsylvania governor) leads the marginal pack.

Stephen A. Smith (ESPN moderator)?  I'd actually rank him in the top five now.

Mayor-Pete?  Oddly....still in the top five.

I'll just say it....it is the weakest field in three decades....unless Newsom runs.


AOC News?

  I got up this AM....top story?  Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez splits from fiancĂ© Riley Roberts.  In fact....they kinda hint that this split actually occurred 18-to-24 months ago.

After pondering it for a while....I had four questions:

1.  How did the news folks miss the break-up.....for almost 2 years?

2.  At this age point....is there any guy in his 40s to 50s....capable of hooking up with AOC?

3.  Is there something 'toxic' about AOC....in terms of a relationship situation?

4.  Can AOC run for President....single?  I have my doubts on this angle.

This being four-star news?  NO.....but there's just not much going on this week.  Other than NFL camps, WNBA draft potential for guys, and three states fixing up charges on Fauci now....there's just not much going on.
