Why would you care?
You dont even live in California.

Oh, shut the hell up.

Gavin is never going to be POTUS. This board is dedicated to the Duumvirate f@ucking our country up.

If we can elect a rapist, convicted felon that has declared bankruptcy more time than finger on one hand than Newsom can easily get elected president.

If we abolished print-at-home ballots in California, we’d pick up at least 5-7 Congressional seats

If we enforced Voter ID, we’d flip the entire state red

It's mind boggling how abjectly ignorant so many on the Right are.

DAILYMAIL: Gavin Newsom splits from California liberals and condemns transgender athletes in women's sport in chat with Charlie Kirk: "It's deeply unfair"https://t.co/FYxtTyhSWd

Look he finally did something good. SB your front runner is making his moves to challenge Vance.

I do think hsr is a huge scandal. I get the why but it just would have been so much better to fly a helicopter over the poor towns in the valley and thrown money out the window.

Thank you…you see it's possible to acknowledge wrongs without flipping sides completely. Most of your fellow liberals are unable.

CT resorts to threats when he can't argue because he is just wrong and there is no real argument.

The Deep State, Democrats, and the media can certainly try.

Gavin: I'm a moderate now!

Also Gavin: No, this has nothing to do with my upcoming in run for '28, what do you mean?

Gavin Newsom broke with his party on trans athletes in sports, suggesting that Dems were in the wrong for allowing trans athletes to participate in female college and youth sports. https://t.co/xIfCBWix9g

NEWSOM: We're losing. It's asymmetrical. You dominate the media. I do a 3 o'clock hit in the afternoon. How the h*ll do we compete? We're toast.

KIRK: Democrats can't survive in long-form podcasting. It's too unscripted, too masculine.

Interesting exchange and I'm surprised Newsom agreed to do this. I guess he's running for president after all. Who else do the Democrats have? Tim Walz?

Politico has not one, not two, but FIVE reporters covering the fallout of Gavin Newsom’s comments about men in women’s sports during my interview with him.

Lori Lightfoot says he’s “disgusting.” Sacramento is in an uproar. Democrats all over the country say that this issue is a…

Newsom is over. People in other parts of the country don't like Californians particularly him

California is vilified by the right, as they search for a foil and a scapegoat... and Newsom represents California.

And then there's the jealousy factor. It's pathetic. To the other 49 states (soon to be 50?): So sorry we're prosperous, we have nice weather and we don't hate trans people for just wanting to be themselves. Maybe try and get over it, though.

In 2024, California contributed $4.1 trillion to the U.S. GDP, which was 14% of the national total. California's economy is the largest in the United States, and it's a global powerhouse.

Most of the Red States are just an anchor around the neck of the United States in general and California, specifically. If we could sever the anchor chain, they would sink to the darkest depths of the ocean faster that the whale sh@it that they are, along with the chances of any MAGA POS ever getting within sniffing distance of the presidency again.


MAGA!

This is hilarious. Not only are other states not jealous, they don't want Californians infesting their states.

The problem is the Dems here have no competition so they can say anything but many times it's out of whack with the rest of the country and lacks practical sense.

I spent a lot of election season out of state. I can't count how many times I saw Trump's "Kamala supports gender operations for trans prisoners" commercial. I don't even know if it's true but never saw a rebuttal and the tag line " She is for he/she/it and he is for you" was killer. Gavin is the same with health care for illegals. People can have sympathy for groups without granting them privileges. He's DOA in large parts of the country that decide elections- don't even start me on the hair.

Edit: the state is also "liberal " about a lot of performative issues. Making uber drivers employees, less so. Plus Musk opened his plant in defiance of Covid guidelines and everyone backed off- of course he was our darling Elon then . Likewise the romance of the tech industry as egalitarians not the greedy narcissists they mostly are

They don't want us coming to their states because their spouses -- the hottest ones, anyway -- would leave them for us.

Fact: most people in most other states wish they were Californians. Fewer and fewer people admit this nowadays, though, as they risk having their equally jealous peers refer to them as "fruits" and "nuts".

Smart move by Newsom even if it is transparently a game to enable 2028. The current D party is way too left of center. He knows that and is playing lip service to being more centrist / normal. It absolutely can work.

By 2028, the Ukraine war will probably be over, illegal immigration may not be a prominent issue to voters since the border is closed. Newsom, despite his record in California, will still have big donor money supporting him. If he can distance himself from the far left that's dominating the Democratic party, all he has to do is appear slightly more favorable to women and minority voters in battleground states than JD Vance.

The legacy media, despite it becoming increasingly irrelevant, still has influence, and will turn JD Vance into the most racist and sexist person ever come election season.

I think Newsom understands he can't make the same mistake Biden did and openly say that he's picking his VP based on race and gender but he will inevitably pick a Latino/Hispanic man to get back those votes Trump took from the Democrats.

With regard to Kamala and the chatter of a run for governor or another presidential bid (clearly promoted by MAGA), if we learned anything from HRC, is that once you lose to a profoundly stupid cartoon caricature of a humanoid like Trump, there is a flashing neon sign on your forehead for the rest of your life that blares LOSER.

Harris wouldn't survive the primary for any office at any level.
