Newsom is channeling normal.
I don't think he's got any core principles whatsoever, but he understands politics and how to win. Like Bill Clinton.

He was a champion of many of the whack job policies that he is now trying to distance
Himself from. The internet lives forever though and he will not be able to walk back all the stupid shit he has done. He may be the best chance the Dems have though. That alone should tell you the shape of the Dem party. They have no serious candidates.
All about framing.
I thought this, we tried it and it failed, so now we're going to do something else.
His podcast is an interesting move that I think might work.
I don't disagree, but he's going to have to personally own the problems in his state.
Crime, homelessness, COVID dictatorship, the breeding ground of communist policies.....that's his state. It's not realistic for him to try to claim he inherited those or wasn't involved in creating the issues. If he wants to distance himself between now and 2028, he's going to have to spend some time addressing them directly with solutions and personally owning them as his/his party's mistakes.
I do think it's smart and savvy to have direct dialogue with Conservative voices. It's the only way for the left to capture more mainstream and working class votes.
He never has and never will. He’s on the phone right now with Biden, oops no service

It will be interesting to watch, for sure.
And the most interesting part will be the necessary conflict with the DNC leadership.
If the left had a 52-year-old Joe Manchin, they'd win in a landslide.

Yep, but they have excommunicated all moderates.

There is no one that is middle of the road in the party. They want to double and triple down on the
path they are on as they continue to sink lower with their approval rating. They have not learned a thing or they just choose to ignore what the American people are telling them. The "we know whats best for you" thinking isn't going to fly anymore.
