    As a Californian, I truly believe there is no way in hell that the country will elect a Californian.

    This is completely separate from the undeniable fact that Newsom has always felt like a slimy used-car salesman with his greasy slicked-back hair, and now only seems like he’ll do anything at all in the quest for MOAR POWER. There’s only so much goodwill slapping back at Trump’s tweets will get you and it certainly is nowhere near enough to get him the presidency.

      Honestly I have to agree. California Democrats have a distinct style of politics that I don’t know if it sits well in a national election. I do wonder what happens if they seriously run a Midwestern Democrat rather than a coastal one. It completely changes the vibes when they’re from somewhere close to the outdoors and the farms, but without the baggage of a southerner

        I can’t say I’m overly well informed about how politicians differ, but I think much of the rest of the country sees California as the evil west coast elites, and nothing will change their minds. Especially not Newsom.
