13. I really like Gavin Newsom.

But if he thinks that the modern Authoritarian Party sprang suddenly from Southern Swamp, he is mistaken. EVERYTHING (and much worse) that I hear Gaetz, Boebert, Hawley, Cotton, Huckabee, etc. say, I heard as "generally accepted wisdom" a half century ago growing up in red, dead Texas. Obviously Mr Newsom will have to choose his running mate based upon their ability as a running mate to get elected. But I wish he could choose someone from a background of generational poverty.
