Newsom touts victory over recall as rejection of 'Trumpism'
The Hill ^ | 09/15/2021 | Max Greenwood

Posted on 09/15/2021 6:10:58 AM PDT by ChicagoConservative27

California Gov. Gavin Newsom took a victory lap on Tuesday after voters rejected an effort to recall him from the governor’s mansion, casting his win as a rejection of “the negativity that’s defined our politics in this country over the course of so many years.”

In remarks delivered in Sacramento minutes after he was declared the winner of the recall election, Newsom said that with his victory, Californians had voted to safeguard democracy, taking a swipe at his main Republican opponent, conservative radio host Larry Elder, and former President Donald Trump, who had raised baseless claims of fraud ahead of the Tuesday vote.

“Democracy is not football. You don’t throw it around,” Newsom said. “It’s more like an antique vase. You can drop it and smash it in a million different pieces. And that’s what we’re capable of doing if we don’t stand up and push back.”

‘We also need more conservatives in the following states:’

of your list, I suspect these are in forseeable red mode:AZ, MT...

the true toss ups are WI, NH, and perhaps MN...

you can cross these off the any hope of retaining red status: PA, NM, CO, NV...

Their entire existence is defined by hypocrisy, selfishness, greed, corruption and NIMBY.

I think Newsom is now the front runner in the 2024 presidential race. We all know Biden is a lame duck, A very dangerous lame duck, but a lame duck never the less. Harris, looks to me like a non entry. This overwhelming win (2-1) makes Newsom the strongest Democrat governor and with the Democrat machine behind him and only the Republicans opposing him, he is a shoo in.

^ This ^

Something the rest of the nation needs to realize. He wont be just a problem for CA for long...

Maybe, maybe not. His 2-1 win precisely reflected the Democrat to Republican enrollment in this Deep Blue state. I think the recall election that he would most certainly survive may be a chink in his armor, and a thousand cuts will defeat the strongest Dem Governor, ask Andy Cuomo.

And that’s the MO. Say what you want about the Left and hate them as much as I do, or more, but every once in a while they do something right. I guess you doing enough sh*t up against the wall some of it will stick.

Taking President Trump off social media was genius in their part. Many on here still don’t like President Trump. He’s not PURE enough for them. No matter how many things he did, alone. Bad Cabinet picks. Didn’t do enough. Didn’t do this. Didn’t do that. Whatever.

One thing he did do, he kept them on defense. All of them. Even if they attacked him, he was able to counter punch, flip the script and put them on their heels.

IT WAS NOT
...

Ask yourself:

WHY would an 88 year old lady get all dressed up & go to her correct polling place to be told she “ALREADY VOTED”???

There were more ladies in the same polling place that got the same news. Woodland Hills, Calif.

It’s important to bear in mind this is a local election (a recall actually) result from a far-Left state. Nationally, it doesn’t mean as much as the Democrat/Communist/Left Party would have you believe ... and will promote ceaselessly for a few days that you must (a mandate, y’know).

You really believe the vote tallys were accurate and not rigged? I don’t believe them for one moment. The entire state is ripe with voter fraud from ballot harvesting to fraudulent vote by mail schemes.

Accurate within the margin of error. The Dems are proficient of swinging about 3%, enough to win in big Dem cities like Atlanta and can swing the whole state in a statewide election.

Ashley Babbitt got 4 mail in ballots sent to her house. I wonder who she voted for?

The United States is a little bit like the eu. It’s actually a lot of mostly sovereign countries that are members of a federation. I see California as a country just as I see my state of Kentucky as a country. Some countries I don’t need to visit and I consider them a little bit looney. California would be one of them. Venezuela is another. And don’t even get me started on cuba.

The colder locations generally keep the rif-raf out.

The way things are going now, the additional tens of millions of illegals from south of the border won't be "settling" in Montana or Idaho...they'll be going to the warmer states, where it's more like home. For example, in ~5-10 years, TX will be the New, New Mexico. Then, the commies won't even need to cheat anymore.
And that, of course, has ramifications for all of us whether you live in the reddist of red states or not.

Also, there are the BLM types who prefer the warmer states as well.

AuntyFa...that's a different story.

We also need more conservatives in the following states:

Missouri should be on that list. In fact, if you are looking to relocate and won't be bringing any liberal baggage with you, go here:

https://redstate-realtors.com

It's a list of realtors in Red states who are freedom minded and can help you find the property you are looking for. We are relocating from MO to a very red portion of KS. So, I'd say KS could use more conservatives, as well. It's purple and we need to save it.

We can't view what happens in CA as just a CA thing.

Newsome will be your President in 2024. He'll be all of our President. Next to nothing has been done about voter fraud in any of the (R) controlled states...and Covid, the weapon, will still be available if need be.

I’m beginning to think this was all planned by the Democrats. And yes, he is now the 2024 frontrunner.

May be ... but the point is that there is reason to think that without massive cheating -- which the Democrat/Communist/Left Party will attempt even with everyone knowing they'll do this -- that Newsom, though ommnipotent in far-Left California, will win enough electoral votes to prevail in a national election.

Just as the Democrat/Communist/Left could not "allow" America's voters to re-elect Trump, we simply cannot abide another America- American-hating president* following four years of the reign of FJB the Vile.
