Newsom didn't do anyone any favors by blowing up at the European leaders

[Jack Valentino]

89. '...and like all macho displays in response to political challenges, the OP's response contained more heat than light'

and perhaps my initial response was likewise----

but here you put a bunch of words into my mouth which I never said
nor meant to imply---- seems like sort of a 'macho display in response to a political challenge'!


Here's a newsflash for you: I am NOT committed to Newsom for 2028 nor any other candidate,
nor did I or do I "demand fealty" to any potential Democratic candidate from anyone else---

and I WAS responding to your initial personal comment paraphrased in the subject line
of this reply---- which is what set me off a little---

And you are right--- I think I 'hit reply' to that first comment in particular
without even seeing the balance of your comments at the bottom of your post,
which frankly go a little over my head-- I was not informed about Newsom's public comments there....

Your points may be quite valid, now that I've actually read them,
or at least worthy of discussion which is beyond me now, as well as last night...


I hope you will forgive my 'knee-jerk reaction' to this post---
you are actually among my favorite posters on DU,
but the words of your initial comment preceding the posting of the article excerpt
just hit me 'the wrong way'...

Nerves are pretty frayed right now, as I presume you will understand....
