Newsome is the slimiest scum ever. Hard to find a person more low, foul and slimy than Nuisance.
His intent is insidious and calculating.
DeSantis can’t mop the floor with anyone. He is getting set up.
Like Bill Clinton. Gavin Newsom is version 2.0 of Bill Clinton.
DeSantis has disappointed with the retail politics, but that lawyerly manner would serve him well in a one on one with the oleaginous Gavin Newsom. Robert Barnes, among others, has been pushing the idea that Ron is falling into a trap by running, but the objective measures of that theory all boil down to "he's losing to Trump" in the polls. Well, a lot can happen between now and Iowa, and not having a "plan B" in place doesn't seem like a great idea.
And if Newsom is the candidate, its hard to see the downside of letting him get roughed up on an undercard before Trump has a go at him in the general. The chances of Newsom improving his position by debating DeSantis look to be about zero, at least from where I sit.
