When You See Gavin Newsom in South Carolina, You Know He's Running for POTUS

It's a little early yet - no, scratch that, it's a lot early yet to be 
making serious bets about the 2028 presidential election. Oh, I suspect 
that JD Vance will seek the top spot, and if things with the Trump 
administration keep going like they have been, he's a cinch to win the 
nomination. But on the Democratic side? Well, they have quite a collection 
of nuts who are on the wrongest side of every wrong side possible, not 
least of which is California's impeccably coiffed Governor Gavin Newsom. 
On Monday, we learn that he's visiting South Carolina, an early primary 
state - and, yeah, he's doing the good old "voter meet and greet" shuffle.

California Gov. Gavin Newsom heads to South Carolina this week to spend 
two days meeting with voters in the state that officially held the first 
primary in the Democrats' 2024 calendar.

The trip by the term-limited governor with a large national profile is 
sure to spark plenty of 2028 speculation, since Newsom is considered a 
potential contender for the next Democratic presidential nomination.

The South Carolina Democratic Party, which announced the two-day swing, 
said Newsom will take part Tuesday and Wednesday in meet and greets, to 
shake hands and take questions, during eight stops in cafes, coffee shops 
and churches.

The South Carolina Democrats wasted no time blasting the news out on X:


Oh, he's running, all right.

Of course, while Newsom is in South Carolina spreading all manner of 
hogwash about his record in California, Democrats in South Carolina are 
trying to put as much lipstick on that pig as they can:

"Governor Newsom leads the largest economy in America and the fourth 
largest in the world, and he’s coming to meet folks in towns that have 
been hollowed out by decades of Republican control," state party chair 
Christale Spain said in a statement.

Yeah, good luck with that. Governor Newsom would come to this party with 
quite the track record, and it's one that JD Vance or any other Republican 
nominee should be delighted to be running against.

He's on the wrong side of every issue. Not only does California have the 
highest population of homeless people and illegal aliens, but Newsom and 
California's Democrat supermajority in the state legislature seem 
determined to keep it that way. People are fleeing the once-Golden state 
for greener pastures. The productive are leaving, and the indigent are 
making their way there. Karen Bass's Los Angeles is in free fall, and San 
Francisco, once one of the world's greatest cities, is still handing out 
poop maps. Newsom is defying the federal government in insisting that, in 
California, boys cosplaying as girls should still be allowed on girls' 
school sports teams and in their locker rooms.

This is a candidate and a party that are more concerned about pronouns 
than prosperity.

Of course, November 2028 is still a long way away. Anything can happen, 
and to quote an old truism in American politics, nobody ever went broke 
underestimating the American voters. But at this early stage in the game, 
considering a matchup between Gavin "A Little Dab'll Do Ya" Newsom 
against, well, anyone on the GOP's huge bench, I know which way I'd bet.


-- 
November 5, 2024 - Congratulations President Donald Trump.  We look 
forward to America being great again.

We live in a time where intelligent people are being silenced so that 
stupid people won't be offended.

Every day is an IQ test. Some pass, some, not so much.

Thank you for cleaning up the disasters of the 2008-2017, 2020-2024 Obama 
/ Biden / Harris fiascos, President Trump.

Under Barack Obama's leadership, the United States of America became the 
The World According To Garp.  Obama sold out heterosexuals for Hollywood 
queer liberal democrat donors.
