Yeah man Fox News was airing the clip of newsom supporting trans rights. Jesus Christ, I hope you are getting paid for being this fucking stupid at least.

No that doesn’t work. He was on an extremely popular podcast (which as we saw in that last election were somewhat consequential) and the hosts who help frame the audience’s reaction were receptive to his anecdote about being moved to trans support after talking to parents of trans kids.

Was he on an extremely popular podcast or was he starting a podcast where he chose two Nazis as his first guests?

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.
