Gavin Newsom Would Lose In A General Election For The Same Reason Kamala Lost . .

SkyChief said:
. . . Incompetence.

Newsom recently did an interview with Bill Maher. Maher asked if Newsom might run in 2028:

Maher: “We [democrats] need someone who’s going to be the champion. Are you going to do it or not?”

Newsom: “I deeply respect that the question, but I don’t have any grand plans with respect to that. . . ”

Contrary to what Newsom told Maher, he is maneuvering and jockeying into a position to run. He just needs to change his image - needs to rebrand himself. The fact that Newsom sat in Maher's hot seat is evidence that Newsom is trying to appear more moderate so independent voters might consider him as someone who could perform well as President and Commander-In-Chief.

Newsom would not perform well in ANY executive position. His performance as Governor of California has been - and remains - abysmal. It is so bad, that in 2021, California held a special election to recall Newsom. American voters would be ignorant to think that someone who has demonstrated incompetence in an executive role such as Newson has, would miraculously become competent as President and Commander-In-Chief.

American voters saw how incompetent Kamala Harris was in her executive role as Border Czar. American voters chose Trump over Harris - not because they liked Trump - most didn't. They voted for Trump because he was competent, and had proven that he can perform in an executive role.

Both Newsom and Harris demonstrated profound incompetence in their respective executive roles, and that makes them unelectable.

Expect Gavin Newsom to throw his hat in the ring in 2028. . . . along with AOC, Gretchen Whitmer, Andy Beshear, et al. IMO.

He's pretty much right. Right now, the Democrats have no message, no strategy, no one, and no nuthin'.

And they should be working their asses off on it. Playing whack-a-mole with every intentionally regressive, vengeful, hate-filled, uninformed, and grossly negligent law, act, and policy change from this administration is allowing those intended distractions to divert from it.

If by incompetence you mean that she barely addressed cost of living concerns, something that was by far the #1 issue voters cared about for the totality of the election, and thus lost it by margins of 2% or less in the swing states, then yes.
 
I agree with OP, but from the left. Newsom will lose for the same reason Kamala does: he's a spineless piece of shit who stands for nothing.

Already inviting right wing fascists like Charlie Kirk onto his podcast and wanting to throw trans people under the bus. I guess I shouldn't really have any expectations for the man who used tm be married to Kimberly Guilfoyle.
 
Now is definitely not then.

In 3 1/2 years we will be likely be living in the ravages of a pandemic due to the lack of interest in and availability of vaccinations. The huge baby boomer population will struggling through age related medical issues with much less affordable healthcare and a shortage of medical professionals. There will be decreased social security benefits, a reduction of the value of personal investments and still no national healthcare plan.

It is plausible that the nation and perhaps the world will also be confronted with the devastating combination of the effects of a recession and a world war. Tax cuts for the wealthy and chump change for the masses along with higher numbers of people searching for good paying jobs and good stable and sustainable employment will not find Americans giddy with delight and dancing in the street.

We can debate it now but by then there will likely be a discernible drop in the general quality of life in the United States. With the exception of wealthy Americans the majority of citizens will be unhappy.

Our lack of leadership and our lack of citizen awareness and involvement is NOT going to even begin to be erased in 3 1/2 years. We are not going to turn it around that quickly. Already people are becoming weary of promises and lies. You can't build good things overnight and you damn sure can't do it without first earning trust.

Predicting election front runners at this point in time is a fool's game. What we are facing will be monumental. Hell, in 3 1/2 years we may not have a functioning democracy and no one man or woman is going to be able to pull it out of the fire that soon.

I am not saying we are all doomed. I am saying that we are going to slog knee deep in shit to keep hope alive. Hope needs more time than 3 1/2 years. The election will reflect that.
 

Voters Leaving California Take Billions with Them​

Jun 7, 2021 · California’s high tax, generous welfare state policies, and the dominance of progressive politics have combined to create an environment causing voters to leave the state at can only be described as an alarming rate. For the first time since statehood in 1850, California is losing rather than gaining a congressional seat as a result of the decennial census and the …
