It’s a lifeline for Gavin Newsom: why Trump rivalry paves way for 2028

This is about all of us, this is about you,” Gavin Newsom declared this week, his eyes boring into the lens of a camera.

In a televised speech styled like a State of the Union address, the California governor warned that the scenes in Los Angeles, where thousands of military troops took to the streets this week to clamp down on protests against President Trump’s immigration raids, were a taste of things to come.

“Other states are next. Democracy is next. Democracy is under assault before our eyes. This moment we have feared has arrived,” he said.

Newsom’s latest battle against his long-time foe Trump was spurred by the president’s decision to deploy 4,000 National Guard members and 700 marines. He saw it as a heavy-handed stunt that has made the unrest worse, not better. The 57-year-old Democrat responded by suing the US government, threatening to withhold tens of billions in annual federal tax dollars and embarking on a media blitz of print, broadcast and social media — at one point tweeting Trump’s border tsar to “come and get me, tough guy”.

If the US votes Gavin in then this country deserves whatever’s coming. Especially after all the examples he has given us about how horrible he is.

Gavin is a fence rooster. Lots of crowing and strutting.

The proper approach to Gavin is to humilate him. It's clear that Trump is kryptonite to Gavin so Vance or Rubio need to have the same approach in 2028 when they're running for the White House.

I’m not sure, but if they don’t get off their duffs and implement Trump’s agenda, their rating is going to go pretty low in the next few months.

The greatest contribution DeSantis ever made to the Conservative movement was an hour-long beatdown of Gruesome in 2023.

It wasn't just a refutation of Lip Filler's Demonecrophiliac talking points, but Ron ripping the mask off Spinderella.

What TrumpII needs to do is taunt Gruesome into doing what Padilla did today, either fomenting insurrection or interfering with the duties of a Federal official, and then Gruesome gets a Baltimore van ride...

The latest Rasmussen Reports (May 2025) national telephone and online survey finds that 33% of Likely U.S. Voters rate Congress’ performance as good or excellent, up from 15% in March 2024. 41% now think Congress is doing a poor job, down from 59% last spring.

And then there is the Generic Congressional Ballot...
