    every time Gov Good Hair calls out Trump, a TACO back-pedaling follows

    the most recents eg has been Newsom and Calif AG suing Trump 2.0's unconstitutaion deployment of natinal guards in Calif,
    leading to this TACO response this past mid-July

    I thought this was interesting...

    'He put on a great show': Analyst claims Trump was 'surprised' by Newsom's 'X factor'

    Raw Story

    California Gov. Gavin Newsom has proved that he can keep up with President Donald Trump in one key aspect, according to one analyst.

    Newsom has positioned himself as the governor most willing to take on Trump in a head-to-head battle over policy issues, such as crime and immigration. Elex Michaelson, a former reporter at FOX 11 LA, told progressive YouTuber Brian Tyler Cohen on his show "No Lies" on Sunday that Newsom has also proven that he can captivate audiences in the same way Trump can.

    "The reason Trump got so much 'free media attention' in 2016 is that he put on a great show," Michaelson said. "Newsom is doing the same thing."

    Trump has become known by some experts as the "entertainer in chief" due to his background in reality television and his obsession with television ratings. That has given him an advantage over more traditional politicians because he knows how to appeal to a general audience.

    However, Newsom may be taking Trump's advantage away from him, Michaelson argued.
    The move also bodes well for Newsom's chances during the 2028 election, Michaelson suggested.

    Continued...


    In other words, we can expect more headline grabbing behavior from Gavin Newsom in the years and months ahead.

    I'm not a Newsom guy, but he seems to understand that the vast majority of the frustration among the Democratic base isn't so much where Democrats stand on the issues, it's that they're not doing enough to stand up to Trump and the Republicans.

    At some point Dems like Whitmer and Shapiro are going to have to start doing the same--if they intend to make a serious run for the WH.

    Newsom's negligence led to Malibu burning to the ground. He's not a serious Presidential candidate.

    Strange, he's been surging in California opinion polls over the last few months, AFAIK. You would think they might know a thing or two more about him than we do.

    I'm more interested in how to fight the Trump administration right now. He's showing a pulse. We'll have to see if he can keep the momentum alive and mount a successful campaign.

    Newsom is just so fake. He's not authentic -- everything is scripted and done to create an image... and it just doesn't feel natural with him... he's a manipulator.

    And he's too liberal for America's current right-of-center balance. California has run too many people and businesses off with their liberal policies... this is NOT what America needs.


    GOOD DAY

    I have concerns. He's polished, well dressed, and yes, "handsome". Is he too polished? Does he come across as genuine?

    Hard for me to say.

    Time will tell if he's "too liberal." At least he has a pulse and is showing signs of a backbone.

    Tinfoil running out of materials, resorting to regurgitating the same old 40+yr-old convenient intellectual dishonesty.

    since this so-called exodus started some 40/50 yr old, when Reagan was the Gov,
    Calif's economy has risen from the 7th largest economy in the world to be the 4th largest.


    but there will always be people, such as Tinfoil, who can't accept the truth about Calif's success---
    in projecting their inferirority complex---are flashing the shinny object (the exodus by tax evaders)
    to divert attention away from the continuing robust growth of the Golden State economy

    Trump is the reason a million Americans died of Covid and we are trillons of dollars further in debt by the year.

    LOL, COVID was a Democrat creation (gain of function research, unnecessary lockdowns) and Trump's policies and actions didn't contribute to a single excess COVID death. Pre-COVID Trump had the deficit in a good place... and he will again under this term. Biden ran it up and set the records.

    How are you this wrong on the facts? WOW.


    GOOD DAY
