Gavin Newsom is everything that is wrong with the Democratic establishment. Phony-ass, performative, spineless opportunist.

A better headline would be "Faithless Millionaire Winery Owner Adopts Fascist Campaign Strategy"

Newsom is a complete piece of shit. Everyone knows that. He is the latest in an ongoing test of the health of our democracy. My expectation is that he's outta luck. I think that this kind of naked attempt to copy Republican culture war distractions and re-re-re-doubling down on the attempt to appeal to pro-business "moderates" is going to absolutely crash and burn if there is any candidate in the race espousing an actual plan for rebuilding the social safety net.

But hey: that's a big if. He's gotten this far.

Something tells me that the only thing that is going to beat Trump (who I fully expect to run again) is an actual change agent. I think he might be planning to run as a whipping boy for Trump to defeat and then milk a career as "leader of the #resistance" through this podcast grift. But I don't want to let him get anywhere near having the chance to do that.

This loser thinks he's going to be the next president. General strike couldn't come soon enough

Aside from everything else, why would he want to have any association with that fucking troll Kirk?

Thanks, I hate it

There’s no way he can win. He’s too disliked. They need to run someone who hasn’t already been noticed.

I think he's probably fine with losing. He could make another decade of his career podcasting as "leader of the resistance".

I expect the GOP to attempt to block anyone with actual populist cred from trying to run in the Democratic primary, but that they'll let through a planned loser like Newsom.

It's our job to make sure he doesn't get anywhere near there.
