In reply to the discussion: Head to head poll between JD Vance and Newsom for 2028 is encouraging! [View all]Jack Valentino
(4,743 posts)with Newsom having served as Governor of California, there will be a lot of stuff---
kinda like Dukakis in 1988!....... HOWEVER---
Newsom and his team HAVE shown a great ability to FIGHT BACK,
and within the same news cycle--- and THAT was Dukakis' greatest failure!
(His campaign's utter failure to refute many of the charges made against him
in a timely way, left even ME wondering 'what the truth was'---
and by the time he did so, it was too late--- although I still believe
that he might have won if the campaign had another two weeks--- but it didn't.)
As for what *some people* might think were any of Newsom's "personal failures",
I don't really know anything about any of that---- but I think the American people
are well beyond anything like that, and the only refutation needed is
"but Trump did this and this and this, Republicans voted for him anyway---
but they want you to think about Newsom's divorce or whatever?? PFFFFFFT "
