Newsom is issuing surprising vetos.

Posted on 10/08/2023 5:15:41 PM PDT by ameribbean expat

Several recent vetoes seem out of character, even at the national level for Dems.

Free condoms for high school kids. Housing bill that would have declared it a human right. Decriminalize psychedelics. Custody courts must consider gender affirming. Ban caste discrimination.


TOPICS: Politics
KEYWORDS: bills; california; newsom; newsome; vanity; veto
Besides being ambitious, he must have sniffed a pretty big cultural shift.

Or just stay in a big Dem running California city. Same thing.

Only thing missing is a call for a border wall.

He wants to appear moderate because he’s running for president.

“He’s running.”

Yeap, he’s running. He has been told but Biden hasn’t got the word yet.

He is pretending not to be a far-left wing extremist because he is planning his Presidential campaign.

Newsom will be the Democratic nominee in 2024, this much is clear

“Too little too late IMHO.”

Not necessarily. Depends on the Republican. If his campaign ads show film clips of LA and SF, then yes, it is too late for Newsom. If not and instead argue about the Capital Gains look back rules for annuities, or whatever, then it doesn’t matter, as the Republican is doomed, regardless.

He’s running somewhere.

He’s trying to create a back story he can run on.

Forget the entire rest of his career, the MSM will focus on a narrow window and push his “middle of the road” accomplishments.

This is the reason he’s also backing Ronald Regan talking points lately too.

It looks more and more like he’s going to be running for president and is doing damage control and PR.
