Democrats are coming off a 2024 beating. Will their rising stars block a Republican trifecta?

2. I am surprised media is again treating this as normal

When will media learn? Talking about which Dem star will rise is making the assumption Trump is normal. Trump very likely will rig the system in such a way that Dems will never win. Forces of anti-democracy are in . Unless someone calls it as is, we are in trouble. There will never be a free and fair election ever unless a rising Dem disrupts things very early. If Dems let Trump settle, our nation is finished. Look at how Zelensky is ready to throw in the towel. That bodes poorly for NATO.

Yes, a Dem star will rise. That star has to be the leader of resistance and lay the groundwork for a massive failure that hurts people because of Trump policies. It is one of those times where people should really find out what Trump is. If Dems fight some half-hearted battles and win some, it will only mask Trump and lead to more Trump.

Shapiro will have a tough time in a state that voted for Trump. I would rule out all Dems from the states Trump won to lead a real resistance. This rising Dem has to fight like a real combatant and needs to encourage Dems to support him or her. Whitmer is toast because of Michigan going MAGA.

Which Dem has nothing to lose in a fight? It is either some firebrand Dem from a blue state. It could even be Harris.
