Nobody wants $5 California gas or million dollar homes for 1000 square feet. I think this and it sounds like I’m the people you are referring to, that Gavin will be very unpopular in many areas. California is way over budget and has crazy high taxes. He attacks Trump, but Trump is out for the next election.

I’m still hoping we get new blood in the elections without the baggage of California or Chicago politics. I would like to see a heavy business influence its the VP level like Cuban.
