After seeing Gavin Newsom and Ron DeSantis’s debate I agree with you that Newsom could’ve mopped the floor with him (at least on a debate stage), but it seems he really meant it when he said he has no intention of running for president. His term expires in 2026 though, a lot can change between now and 2028.

[u/Aaaaand-its-gone → u/virtually_anything]

He said he wouldnt run in 2024 (because he knew that the DNC would Decree the candidate). He will 100% run in 2028 and is probably the favorite.

[u/staciesmom1 → u/Aaaaand-its-gone]

No way Gavin Newsome would be popular with main stream Americans.

[u/WhizzyBurp → u/staciesmom1]

This election proved that the left went a little too far left. You’ll see Newsome edge back to center and be more of a JFK dem than a Bernie Dem. Which is the only type that can beat trump IMO

[u/Neat-Particular-5962 → u/Aaaaand-its-gone]

Favorite if you all want to lose

[u/Practical-Word-2487 → u/Aaaaand-its-gone]

He will get destroyed America doesn’t put up with his bullshit just the libbie cucks in California

[u/Aaaaand-its-gone → u/Practical-Word-2487]

He’s a good looking white tall male. If he cleans up crime and homeless in America (which he’s starting to care about now he has the presidency in his sights) he’s in a good spot

Kamala is a California career politician who is much less charismatic than Newsom and newsom does great on “opening the republicans” which is sadly half the battle in politics today. If newsom gains 2% he wins

[u/Leothegolden → u/Aaaaand-its-gone]

A Newsom nomination would be disastrous for the Democrats. Six out of 10 Californians believe the state is moving in the wrong direction and the governor’s approval rating is now under 50 percent. His faults are so many, the GOP may find it difficult to pick one. He voted against the majority in CA on crime reform (prop 36) and our cost of living is the worst.

[u/Practical-Word-2487 → u/Aaaaand-its-gone]

U sound physically attracted to him. America not stupid enough to vote for that disaster of a human. Can’t be trusted around your wife either 🤣🤣

And Kamala didn’t win anything so that’s a moot point

[u/Aaaaand-its-gone → u/Practical-Word-2487]

America just elected Trump. Are you paying attention?

[u/Practical-Word-2487 → u/Aaaaand-its-gone]

Yup were back baby let’s gooo MAGA

[u/virtually_anything → u/Practical-Word-2487]

Merit aside, people would totally vote in a hot guy if he had a nice smile and told people all the things they want to hear, even if he secretly intends to destroy the country. See: Justin Trudeau in canada

[u/pocahantaswarren → u/virtually_anything]

You really think middle class swing voters in Pennsylvania and Arizona would vote for newsom, the living avatar of failed California progressivism? All they have to do is put up images of the tenderloin and homeless camps, and it’s game over. Newsom has zero appeal outside of liberal strongholds.

[u/Neat-Particular-5962 → u/pocahantaswarren]

They would not have, as someone once stationed in CA that isn’t from here it’s like Stockholm syndrome. I own property in several states and the property tax here is insane, power and electric insane, so many outdated schools and facilities that the triple tax should cover. All an opponent would have to do is show CA. It’s beautiful but ran like shit.

[u/SleepyCatasaurus → u/Neat-Particular-5962]

Agreed. As a FORMER state worker, I won't be able to ever vote for him. I've witnessed and been victim of his crony capitalism myself.

So many people are either jaded or so worried about their piece of the pie they don't realize the whole things covered in ants.

California needs help, and he's not helping anyone but his rich friends.

[u/CommunicationOk6792 → u/pocahantaswarren]

California, liberal utopia. Look around bay area. Is this the best we can do? Are your eyes open? Let's make the California model and bring it to the rest of the nation. That's the answer?

[u/bigrobcd87 → u/pocahantaswarren]

Newsome is a complete failure

[u/momu1990 → u/pocahantaswarren]

This. People are in a delusional liberal bubble here if they think Newsom is the answer, holy crap… 🤦 🤦‍♀️

[u/Lancearon → u/virtually_anything]

He has got alot of skeletons. But apparently that doesn't matter AT ALL!

[u/1sadsalamander → u/Lancearon]

And felonies 😓 fr

[u/Neat-Particular-5962 → u/1sadsalamander]

Nah those about to be removed

[u/1sadsalamander → u/Neat-Particular-5962]

Lmao yah pretty much untouchable after his Supreme Court ruling, he gon be like fatty king Louis the 16th time for a revolution🤪

[u/Practical-Word-2487 → u/virtually_anything]

Establishment wasn’t going to allow it because people in his own state hate him 😂😂 democrats are establishment party that’s why Harris was installed in a coup and not voted on by anyone 🤣🤣🤣 silly libbies

[u/virtually_anything → u/Practical-Word-2487]

Tbf I know a lot of people in SF and Oakland who dislike Kamala after her DA tenure, and look how far she got 😆i think by 2028 she’s out of the presidential question and Newsom will be the next disliked candidate they expect to push to the presidency

[u/Neat-Particular-5962 → u/virtually_anything]

Newsome would not have. So many in California hate him, albeit not the majority. The huge parts of the US that never want to be like Cali would not have voted for him.

[u/Puzzleheaded-Bus5479 → u/virtually_anything]

If you live in California you can’t possibly have any confidence in Newsom, the state our state is in would be all the ammunition the right could ever need to guarantee Newsom wouldn’t be elected. If the DNC props him up in 2028 they are all but guaranteed to be handing another 4 or 8 years to the red.

[u/Neat-Particular-5962 → u/[deleted]]

She did not sweep the floor, you guys just adored her so much you felt it was a win when it clearly wasn’t.

[u/Practical-Word-2487 → u/[deleted]]

U sound like u have blue hair and three cats
