Jared Polis the Governor of CO (D) was on CNN this am and I wasn't [View all]

impressed. He gave extremely low-energy and mealy mouthed talking points to questions that should have been easy set ups. When asked if he regretted his past comments on RFK , he weakly criticized him for his vaccine stance and then immediately went into detailed praise about RFK's "nutritional" policies. He was, again, extremely mealy mouthed when asked to comment on Dems "unpopularity" in polls, and made no effort to go on offense.

At this point, any Dem who has access to a camera needs to know how to go on offense and get their points out there clearly and bluntly. And yes, he is playing footsie about running in 2028 so it does matter.
