Frankly, I am really looking forward to watching this. So tired of the current Trump Biden rematch.
I think both of these big state governors are great representatives for team red and team blue's general school of thought. Both are able to articulate their ideology and have strong track records of governing and "getting things done" based on those ideologies.
This represents a fantastic opportunity to compare one versus the other and, dare I say, competing visions. Does America want to increasingly look like California or Florida? That is where each man promises to lead us with their vision of what is right and good for America.
Of course, they are merely governors of their respective states but we all know that this is about the Presidential race, if not this cycle, the next one.
Newsom is far more capable of expressing the progressive agenda than senile Joe and is clearly the leading democrat contender for Biden's seat (unless Michele hops in).
DeSantis has a far more cogent grasp of the mechanics of conservative governance than Trump and has crushed the swamp in his home state of Florida, though he lacks the populist charm and salesmanship of the former President.
Both are relatively young men and have attractive stories to tell. Both have a lot to gain from representing their side well. Newsom gets solidified as the lead "after Biden" democrat (and maybe the emergency 2024 one), while Ron helps keep his spot as the #1 GOP alternative should Trump falter and solidifies him as the man to beat in 2028.
I think THIS is the debate that most Americans WANT to have, even if they already know who they will probably vote for 11 months from now (and its not likely to be either of these two).
What say you VN? A primetime dogfight of ideas or a food fight at the kiddie table?
Who else is tuning in? Once it has aired - what were your thoughts? Who won, who lost, how does this impact the Presidential elections now and future?
