(22,075 posts)Republicans want to eliminate all the programs Blue America subsidizes and let poor people fend entirely for themselves like some piss poor Latin American dictatorship. Thus, they really don't care that we keep most of Red Amurka afloat socially and economically.

(53,148 posts)I saw him as a potential presidential candidate way back when he was mayor of San Francisco. Also he has great political instincts. He is getting his name and face out there now. He knows how to play the long game. I see him as a strong candidate for 2028.

(24,084 posts)If MSNBC were really a liberal FOX, theyd be talking endlessly about stats like this. About how the high crime states are all red states. About how the highest states for poverty are red states. How red states have the worst health care systems, and are the least educated. Along with the fact that red states lock up a higher portion of their citizens making them in fact less free.
Its no even debatable that the worst places to live in America are red states. But a whole third of our population has had it drilled into them that blue areas are hell holes. Blue states are where the jobs are. Red states are where they crime and poverty are.

(4,002 posts)Wow. Newsom just destroyed him. He was totally factual and articulate and didnt fall into a trap. Hannity kept trying to interrupt when Newsom was talking facts (after promising he wouldnt). Newsom trying to go over the six items in order. Brilliant. Hannity was floundering and sinking and HE KNEW IT. Hannity knew he was losing. Great to see.

(2,720 posts)"if you think your (GOP) policies are so great, then why don't you do prove it by stop taking that liberal blue state money? Remember "Pull yourself up by your bootstraps?" What happened to that?"

(4,002 posts)There was a real effort to try and recall him a couple years ago. Im convinced the GOP has already identified him as a potential quality candidate and is already working to smear him. I remember during Covid he went to a dinner (a mistake). It was a Faux News lead story for days. If thats all they have theyre screwed. Newsom is way out if their league.
