DeSantis/Newsom debate—Newsom lost bigtime
American Thinker ^ | 1 Dec, 2023 | Patricia McCarthy

Newsom’s malevolent, self-serving nature came through loud and clear.

As any resident of California can tell you, just about every word out of Newsom’s mouth in this debate was a lie. Under his terms of office, the quality of life in California has declined tragically. As the charts showed, crime is up, far worse than Florida. Hundreds of thousands of locals who used to love downtown for music, theater, museums, no longer go there. It’s too dangerous. San Francisco is in worse shape than LA… as everyone knows. He was far, far worse than DeSantis during the Covid nonsense. Our lockdowns, and mask and vax mandates were tyrannical. California is ranked 38th for pre-K–12 education; Florida is ranked #1. Our schools were stupidly closed for two years during Covid. We tried to recall him, but most believe he cheated to defeat the recall. No one here thinks he has done a good job. He is the Biden of California.

San Francisco’s miserable decline on his watch is common knowledge. The streets are filled with drug-users, homeless people defecating in the streets, and shoplifting and carjackings are permitted. The police can do nothing—they are not allowed. Naturally, hundreds of businesses have closed. Newsom cleaned it up for China’s President Xi, and lined the streets with Chinese flags! Four hundred American CEOs gave Xi, a dictator of whom Mao would be proud, a standing ovation! What does that tell us? Our CEOs are amoral creeps who only care about money, not people; that they admire Xi is a sad commentary on U.S. corporations. Elon Musk was there of course.

Newsom is a pathological liar. Everything he claimed about California was a lie, as was what he said about Florida in his feeble attempt to slime DeSantis.

Newsom’s hair was fab-U-luss. And didn’t he once date a Hollywood starlet?

He was married to Don Jr's present squeeze, Kimberly G that was a member of "the Five".

Has the Republican primary for president already taken place? And I missed it?

Who cares what these to talk about?

DeSantis is circling the drain and Newsom is a train wreck. And?

This was a chance to shoot down Newsom as a Biden replacement. I think he may have been damaged, but not enough.

Plan B, C, and D are important in politics due to the fickle middle 20% who actually decide the elections, not the 40% on each side who are true believers.

Our Idiot Gov. in Connecticut decided to follow whatever California would do as far as EV’s and fossil fuel vehicles usage in this state. Turns out the people of all persuasions don't like it and have shut him and his Ilk down. They were going to ban ICE use in this Blue state within the next 10 years. Not going to happen!
