Anyway, I think the odds are extremely strong that Gavin Newsom is gonna be the next Governor of California. Go ahead and Check with Vegas to see what Libby Schaaf's chances are, by comparison.

And then please. Explain what sort of "purity agenda" I have in mentioning Newsom's obviously rising leadership profile. Like, Specifically.

We have solid women in the party at a national level. Blue_true Aug 2017 #4

sure, like Elizabeth Warren. Warren DeMontague Aug 2017 #9

Hasn't Trump set the bar that womanizing is no big deal now ? OnDoutside Aug 2017 #24

We have a weak bench and Newsome is part of it Awsi Dooger Aug 2017 #14

you sure seem to be an expert on who I am, what I think, and what my "agenda" is! Warren DeMontague Aug 2017 #36

You seem certain. The Oakland mayor is the best. Real voters will see that. nt Blue_true Aug 2017 #39

I want to know what it is precisely about supporting Gavin Newsom that indicates "purity" Warren DeMontague Aug 2017 #40

Your purity has nothing to do with California. Blue_true Aug 2017 #42

You could completely write off the white working class, moderates, moderate independents.... mr_liberal Aug 2017 #21

"Too Left" on what issues, specifically? Warren DeMontague Aug 2017 #32

The thing that puzzles me is his ex-marriage to that right-wing flake spiderpig Aug 2017 #22

She's probably bitter against liberals because of him RhodeIslandOne Aug 2017 #23

That's legit. I didnt like it, either. Warren DeMontague Aug 2017 #52

Of course. But there was strong pressure from the party nationally on him to tone it down. Warren DeMontague Aug 2017 #55

Things change Warren. Blue_true Aug 2017 #57

And there are two sides to that argument, like I said. Warren DeMontague Aug 2017 #59
