The Stupid Party is too DUMB to use this material in advertisements. Republicans win awards for lack of communication skills. Their on site Congressional visuals consist of flip charts and crayons. They never heard of Poer point.
“The Mooch has none of this baggage. Is why I believe she will be drafted and dragooned into running, at the Dems national convention”
The Dims have no choice—other than The Mooch...

This video is amazing!
FYI - This $2 BILLION debacle closed about a day after it opened. “They” “discovered” a CRACK in the main support beam. The NEW, EXCITING Center remained closed for at least a year.
Here is a Drive-By Media story about the crack:
They even spent $$$ on preparing the Transit Center for when the Kalifornia Bullet Train construction reaches San Francisco. Since it is very doubtful that the Magic Train To Nowhere will ever get near SF, I can see a future where the street zombies inherit the space. Soon after, the democRATS will fund some more of the Homeless Industrial Complex (HIC) to make the zombies and homeless more comfortable. After all HICs receive their 10%, there will only be 10% left for the zombies.
I agree.
Don’t count on it. The Jackal will clean up the California third world sh_thole cities just like he did before his China boss’s visit and the Marxist State Media will sing the praises for him and 80 million Biden drones will vote for him.
It was probably in the late 90’s or early 2000’s. I had gone there a lot - went there in 2008-2009 a few times but just stayed at the airport Hilton and didn’t have time to go out on the town. It was such an amazing town. The people responsible for intentionally destroying it have an assured place in the hottest part of Hell.
Makes no difference! The American illiterate voters will go for him, he’s a pretty boy, loves taxes, drugs, abortion and socialism. He’d be very hard to beat
Democratic voters love the smell of poop in the morning.
It smells like victory.
;-)
It’s all about blowing taxpayer’s money and getting some of the massive money flows going into your pockets. Here is who funded this exquisite gold-plated train n bus station to nowhere. (and future homeless shelter)

$50 million: San Mateo County Transportation Authority (SMCTA)
$50 million: Alameda County Transportation Commission (ACTC)
Private funding:
$110 million: Salesforce, in exchange for naming rights to the transit center
This is my opinon:
The Rats took polls, surveys and whatever they could use to find out what the people are thinking. The results were
NOT MICHELLE OBAMA, NOT GREG NEWSOM, NOT KAMALA HARRIS, NOT HILLARY, NOT OBAMA, HIMSELF, ...produced ANY INTEREST IN THIS GROUP OF NOTHINGBURGERS.
THey have NO ONE who is a star.
And THAT’S THE TRUTH.
I left SF in 73 left la 2018 SF is going to make Detroit look like shangrla
You outta see his commercials. He has that practice hand and arm movement plus slicked back hair. So phony.
“Why Gavin Newsom will not run. These videos will destroy him”
Nurse Ratched: “Well that’s an amusing thought Randle.”
He will campaign on how his administration has reduced the carbon footprint of the average citizen in California.
In the second video it shows where the city transportation planners apparently turned the street’s center driving lane into a bike lane and removed parking places in front of businesses. Of course, now all businesses on the street are closed. I didn’t see a bike one using the bike lane.
“THey have NO ONE who is a star.”
If you have no star you run an unknown you can present as an “outsider”
The conservative South began shifting to the GOP during the Nixon administration. In the 1976 election Georgia governor Jimmy Carter, unknown on the national scene, won the Democrat nomination and the general election. He ran as a moderately conservative pragmatist outside and picked up enough southern states to win the election. As president he governed proudly as a liberal.
In 1992 the Dems did the same thing against incumbent President George W. Bush. Bill Clinton, an unknown governor from Arkansas appeared on the scene, won the nomination, and ran for POTUS as a moderate pragmatic outsider. He picked up some GOP southern states, depriving Bush a chance at winning the Electoral College. Once in office, Clinton governed as a leftist.
Biden was in North Carolina this week, with Democrat Governor Roy Cooper announcing a federal grant for the Charlotte airport.. North Carolina’s 16 electoral votes (more votes than Michigan) are critical to any GOP candidate for president now that Virginia is reliably Dem in presidential elections. Trump won NC in 2016 and 2020 by very thin margins. Those same years Democrat Roy Cooper won the governor’s mansion with more votes than Trump received. Roy is a leftist who is portrayed as a compassionate moderate in the press.
Unlike California, NC has a strong economy and its population is growing. Many liberals from the northeast and west coast are moving to the state and shifting the urban areas blue. The state has a large black population and Hispanic population. If the Dems can win NC, the Electoral college map is almost impossible for any Republican presidential candidate. It is the ultimate swing state to win. If Virginia, Georgia, and NC go Dem, the Democrats will win the White House in 2024.
Governor Cooper is very ambitious. He is well spoken. He comes across as rational, pragmatic, and compassionate. He has a proven 8 year record governing a prosperous state. He is the ideal outsider for the Democrats and media to package as a sensible moderate outsider. It would be very difficult for Trump to demagogue him as a radical leftist. He would have strong appeal to independents, moderate Republicans and women who are repelled by Trump or who want a respite from the chaos in U.S. politics.
Running Cooper solves the candidate problem for the Dems, just as Jimmy Carter and Bill Clinton did in the past. He can run on a positive message. He can be marketed as a “safe” choice with a record for responsible and pragmatic governance. He can run with proven economic record, neutralizing one of Trump’s key messages. He offers relief from Trump’s chaos and Biden’s dementia. He can deliver NC’s critical Electoral College votes. He will govern from the left when in office but his ego is under control so he comes across as a man of the people.
He would be a perfect unknown to emerge at a staged convention where Biden voluntarily steps aside for health reasons and asks the delegates to choose the best candidate. Imagine if the delegates then surprisingly pass over Kamala, Newsom, and others to pick this unknown “proven” leader. Roy comes across in debates as a rock solid, smart, and safe pragmatist while Trump looks undisciplined and angry. The press mantra says Trump is becoming unhinged by all the court cases he is losing. Cooper has the self discipline to not be rattled by Trump’s personal attacks. He will stay on message as a safe, proven, pragmatic performer with the skills and temperament to find common sense solutions to the nation’s problems.
Waiting to bring out the surprise stealth candidate at the convention makes the actual fall campaign very short. After a summer of fighting court cases and a weak Biden, Trump would face a younger, smart, and proven governor of a very prosperous state who comes across as a moderate, sensible, and safe Washington outsider. Pair Cooper with a relatively unknown female and or person of color with a strong record and appearance of moderation. For voters looking for stability and sensible governance, versus four years of intense and viscous political fights, a perceived moderate Democrat ticket would be extremely attractive.just as it was in 1976 and 1992.
Democrats want to win. This might be the strategy to change the political dynamic in 2024 entirely.
If the videos of Biden did not destroy him, what makes you think these would destroy Gavin?
The people who want the USA to be like San Francisco will vote for him.
Ah, I see you subscribe to the fallacy that most voters consider "issues" and subscribe to the patriarchal concept of "cause and effect".
Of course, nothing could be further from the truth.
Newsom wins on the three most important considerations for the average American voter:
1) He's younger than Trump
2) He has great hair
3) He "cares".
Landslide. Victory margin will increase the longer they can keep the Biden Replacement a secret.
What about the other videos of Gavin that the Getty kid has?
