Gavin Newsom: the President nobody needs

[Wathen1955]

Finally - an editorial piece on Newscum worth reading on all places Yahoo.

Some clips:

Here, Newsom’s dilemma reflects a wider weakness of the current crop of Democratic Party leaders — a consistent record of poor governance. This applies not only to Newsom, but to Illinois’s J.B. Pritzker and Michigan’s Gretchen Whitmer, both of whom are widely pitched by Democratic operatives as possible Biden replacements.

Pritzker, although capable of funding his own campaign, would run as Governor of a state that ranks near the bottom of almost every survey. Meanwhile, Michigan’s Whitmer may seem more attractive, but she would be hard-pressed to sell herself as an avatar of a “Michigan miracle”. Like the other media darlings, she presides over a consistently underperforming economy suffering from out-migration, and now faces, with the electric car mandates, the prospect of large layoffs in the state’s signature auto industry.

Yet arguably the worst examples of poor Democratic governance are found at the municipal levels. Democrats control virtually every big city, the majority of which are suffering both economic and demographic decline. Once-celebrated cities like New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, Portland, Seattle and Minneapolis are all largely run by progressives. In every case, the biggest losers from this kind of one-party rule are the very people that progressives seek to champion by adopting the ideology of “anti-racism” and affirmative action. Over the last decade, Los Angeles actually lost foreign-born residents, who have been flocking to the very sunbelt metros — Houston, Dallas-Ft. Worth and Miami — that Newsom likes to caricature as “racist hellholes”.

And on a municipal level, too, Newsom bears some of the blame. During the 2000s, as Mayor of San Francisco, he presided over a tech boom that accentuated both housing shortages and an explosion of homelessness. He promised to address both but the city he left behind, once arguably the most blessed in America, is now among the most cursed — a dystopia with sky-high property crime, homeless encampments, and a largely emptied downtown.

For the Democrats hailing Newsom as the saviour of their party, the legacy of these failures extends well beyond California. Until they can find presidential candidates with a positive record of accomplishment, their only option will be to campaign largely on cultural issues — particularly if faced with someone other than Trump. The economic argument, after all, has already been lost. As is evident from his gubernatorial spats with DeSantis, a Newsom 2024 campaign will pitch at the farthest end of the cultural divide, embracing no limits on abortion, early transgender treatments and undocumented immigration.

At first glance, the blow-dried Newsom may seem a fine antidote to Biden’s decrepitude, but his elevation would simply reinforce his party’s record of failed governance. If Newsom is the future of the Democratic Party, then the future of America, particularly after Trump, is more likely to be Republican.

Stretchin’ Gretchen has been an unmitigated disaster for Michigan, almost as bad as our last female governor, The Mole Jennifer Granholm.

Newsome touts electric vehicles and can't even keep the power grid up, not counting the huge state deficit and the departure of major businesses and people diluting the tax base.

But its OK, paying $5 MM to people in reparations will clear this all up.

He would be a disaster but would still most likely win if we nominate Trump.

I am 100% in favor of paying maximum reparations to every black in California. I fully support the idea and I seriously hope it goes though.

It will be the BEST evidence that there is NEVER enough to handout. I predict that in 1 year, the majority of recipients will have lost every penny and in 5 years, less than 100 of the recipients will have actually prospered.

Let it happen, let them fail. Let me say I told you so.

I’m still a never Trump Republican. I will vote red this election but not for the Trumpster.

The democrats do not think their policies have failed.

That's the funniest damn thing I've heard all day. You? A republican? An actual voting Republican?

[MTPZ06]

Newscum would be worse than Biden, as frightening as that sounds.

I’ve voted red ever since Reagan 1, until Trump in 2020.

Saw Gavin at a PGA tournament in SF many years ago. Within 5 feet, I could tell he was a sleezebag politician.

Its beyond debate, the influx of sudden wealth doesn't help fiscally irresponsible people as is shown by the end result of many lottery winners (and I worked two desks away from the winner of the first VA state lottery)

The Democrats and their media accomplices will package and sell Newsom just like they did the magic negro.

And the American idiots will buy it.

[Anjdog2003]

Worst Governor our state has ever had.

He would do for the entire country what he did for San Francisco and California.

We may never recover.
