When you read the resume of Newsom....his qualifications are basically that he’d make a fine restaurant owner, and not much more than that. His period as SF mayor? There’s nothing much there to note....other than he looked good in a suit and he married a trophy wife/local reporter.
He was supposed to be the guy coming into 2024, and likely up for Democrats top candidate for President.
I thought it was sufficient to put the kibosh on, an ascendant, Newsom’s career. But then, criminality didn’t prevent Bubba from becoming President. I don’t know if it’s a “divine appointment” but for anyone who’s followed Larry Elder, lo these many years, he’s a brilliant choice!
As you probably know, many of Gavins political ambitions have been denied or postponed, for the good of the party.
He wanted to be Governor many years ago, but the “legendary” Jerry Brown wanted that position first, and had the clout to get the nomination.
Years later, Gavin wanted the Attorney General position, but guess who also wanted it? That’s right Ms Kamala Harris. She fit the PC image promoted at the time, and had support of well known San Francisco politicians, including the notorious Race Baiter-Motor Mouth, Willie Brown.
“He was supposed to be the guy coming into 2024, and likely up for Democrats top candidate for President.”
He probably still is… he’ll get a huge chunk of the female vote.
Newsome’s chances died with his allowing rampant fires, blackouts not related to fires, water shortages, Sh**-covered streets, riots by DNC operatives, non-science based shutdowns, murdering old folks in homes, etc. No, not allowed, encouraged. No one, even him, could not see all of these disasters coming.
AS to alternative, Jenner is my Man! Ah, well, you get the point. IT will generate the best embarrassing debate.
