They don’t come much farther left than Gavin. We are likely looking at him as guv in CA soon.

Not really. CA has a strange primary system in which 2 Dems could face off in general election as happened recently in their U.S. Senate election. Most likely Slick vs Villagrossa with Slick LOSING because of ethnicity.

Um....Newsom was married to Kimberley Guilfoyle. Maybe we should ask her?

[afraidfortherepublic]

I wonder what Kimberly Guilfoyle thinks about that?

[umgud]

You’re prolly right, but for us, the end result is about the same.

[Boogieman]

Well, he’s still got 4 years, he could come out as gay, or announce he’s a tranny, or say he discovered he is 1/32nd Cherokee.

It is impossible to be socially liberal and financially conservative. The liberal part means spend trillions on social programs, the conservative part cries tears at the homeless, or hungry before signing another bill spending yet more trillions.

Actually, he's responsible for a program called Care, not Cash that was designed to cut money given in programs to homeless people in exchange for shelters and other forms of services. That saved San Francisco over $13m a year. He was also a very miserly, smart spending business man when he owned his winery. So yeah ... one can be fiscally conservative even if they do support (wrongly, IMO) gay marriage and the like.

Or George Clooney. Both are not very smart, but Clooney can act smarter better.. Especially when he wears his glasses. You’ll be seeing both of them wearing glasses in the next few years. Mark my words.

Sorry Billy. You can’t fix stupid. Your party will be sending Clintoonie in for another shot. LOL.

I think we need to stop underestimating the Ellis Trojan. We live in precarious times and “The People” are fickle and foolish. The fact that he is anywhere near power concerns me.

[GOPJ]

Bill Maher’s a yawn in flyover...

[ridesthemiles]

Newsome? He was known as ANY THREESOME NEWSOME when he was in San Francisco.

Look up his marriage record. One wife got rid of him over such demands, according to rumors in Calif,

[GOPJ]

Kieth Ellison's our dream pick - - very similar to our side choosing David Duke...(stupid beyond words)

Hope he wins and we can get Nation of Islam's Louis Farrakhan to comment on him - - weekly.

Watters and Tucker could have Farrakhan on at least once a month to talk about Ellison. You know - get the 'other' point of view. Kind of like msnbc does to our guys.

Democrats are weak in flyover and Ellison is a liberal elite coastal pick... don't be discouraging to this kind of blunder.

[Cyclops08]

He will have to be a US citizen. If California secedes, Newsom is out.

Besides, if CA stays they are already going to go Democrat so he brings no favored son status to the ticket.

[avenir]

I want not even a HINT of Islam on the inside, however bumbling it appears. Cast it into the outer darkness!

[AlaskaErik]

Like the Democrats need to run this anti-gun nut.

[GOPJ]

There are lots of nice people who are Muslims and have lived in our country for decades... We have to remember that - - in all these discussions... Yes, the religion has serious problems and we must point that out... that’s within the fair and responsible area.

[rottndog]

You are assuming Gavin Newsom is straight...
