Only one chance to make a first and then second impression

Ehhh his podcast actually did better over time after he had more Dems and progressives on

Man it sure seems like he is poll watching instead of taking a principled stand like Beshear or Pritzker on these things. Anyway I’m sure voters and the base love it when Dems offer “not quite a Republican but the right has good ideas”

Yeah I prefer those guys to him no doubt. Again by overstating the case you are on a trajectory of finding those guys unacceptable if Newsom even endorses them (which he no doubt would if they won)

They’ll be cordial with Newsom and that itself will be disqualifying.
