In reply to the discussion: Gavin Newsom--are Dems going to once again let the perfect be the enemy of the good? [View all]crimycarny
(1,974 posts)16. Hillary Clinton was an absolute warrior
And she lost.
I don't know what the answer is other than the Democratic Party needs to come up with a new strategy for supporting and promoting their candidate.
How did the GOP get a completely bankrupt, corrupt, and baffoonish man who had 34 felonies, a rape conviction, and incited an insurrection re-elected???
Anyway, I'm just rambling. I guess the bottom line is that whoever ends up being our candidate in 2028, I hope the Democratic Party figures out a better way to promote them and a better way to campaign for them.

OP
What do you mean by "effectively"? What is the measurable effect that is remarkable?

Okay so what I get from your response is that you like his tweets and the announcements from his press office.

Newsom has had fewer challenges since he has Dem supermajorities in the legislature

If they actually follow in his footsteps - I won't be voting for them in the primary.

Of course he is. He is mimicking Trump, and using that mimicry to cast Trump-like insults

Maybe Newsom is simply the fighter we need now (before midterms) and it will be someone else in 2028
