Newsom predicts ‘profound consequences’ for Democrats nationwide if he loses recall election

[Wingnut]

California Gov. Gavin Newsom asserted on Thursday that his fellow Democrats underestimate the importance of what his recall election means for them.

Newsom said his fate and his party’s are one, offering a warning about the consequences Democrats could face for “many, many years” at the hands of Republicans in the event that he loses in September.

“I don’t think the national Democratic Party’s asking themselves that question,” Newsom told a group of journalists with California’s McClatchy-owned newspapers. “If this was a successful recall, I think it would have profound consequences nationwide and go to not just politics, but to policy and policymaking.”

Newsom used the term “weaponization” to describe how Republicans elsewhere could try and use the process to topple Democrats, and he also said a loss could advantage the GOP in the 2022 midterm elections.

Smells of desperation from the next Grey Davis.

Yes indeed.

But there will be profound consequences. Just not in the way he suggests.

I think he's right. I think his ouster would be a fitting bellwether predicting whether liberal states have damnwell had enough... and so I will watch his predictable fall with glee.

He has mandated mail-in ballots for the rest of this year. So although I wish I could be as sanguine I am not.

Sounds like a threat. Will people take him seriously enough to vote for him or is he damaged goods?

I'll call it here first:
Newsom will squeak by and survive the recall by a very small margin of victory.

But he'll make it.

They're printing the ballots that will put him over the top as we speak.

Man date? does he swing that way?

@skeeter

I don't think so. He has probably screwed one or more prominent Dims out of their share of the take from deals with the Chinese and Arabs,so now he is desperately calling on the mindless Dim drones to bail him out with campaign cash so he has enough money to buy the necessary votes.

Otherwise why would he be allowing himself to be seen in such unsighly panic in public? It makes the rest of the Dims look bad.

California is a one party state if there ever was such a thing. They've been stealing elections here since the 90's, they're not even very careful about it now. Plus we have an illegal population numbering in the millions, AND we have motor voter. Heck we have illegals working IN the government. They will never allow their golden boy to be tossed out, as much as I wish it were so.

However, if he is I will HAPPILY cut your grass & wash your car for the rest of this decade.

Gavin Newsom: Democrats will face ‘Profound Consequences Nationwide’ in 2022 if Recall Successful

Jacob Bliss 31 Jul 2021

California Democrat Gov. Gavin Newsom, who is facing an upcoming recall effort in September, said during an interview on Thursday that the Democrats could face “profound consequences nationwide” in the midterm elections next year if the recall effort against him is successful.

Newsom predicted that nationwide, Democrats would see “consequences” from his recall effort for “many, many years,” and it might help Republicans in the upcoming midterm elections. During the interview with the editorial boards of the McClatchy Newspapers, Newsom also noted that he does not think the Democrats are considering the consequences of him possibly losing.

“I don’t think the national Democratic Party’s asking themselves that question,” Newsom told them. “If this was a successful recall, I think it would have profound consequences nationwide and go to not just politics, but to policy and policymaking.”

The governor predicted that Republicans could weaponize the recall process against more California officials in the 2022 midterms, such as House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) and Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-CA).

The Sacramento Bee noted, “Newsom and his Democratic allies argue that’s really what’s motivating the recall effort — a chance for Republicans to install one of their own candidates during a special election when Democrats will be less likely to vote.”

California Lt. Gov. Eleni Kounalakis (D) announced earlier in the month the recall election date is set for September 14 for the special gubernatorial recall election. The recall ballots will ask two questions: First, should Newsom be removed, yes or no? The second question is a list of possible replacement candidates to choose from.

Breitbart previously reported, “Newsom will be the second governor in California’s history to face a recall election. The last, Democrat Gray Davis, was recalled in 2003 and replaced by Republican actor-turned-politician Arnold Schwarzenegger.”

And be hailed as "The Comeback Kid" by the media, who will tout him in 2024 for the Rat Nomination.

Some here are under the (mistaken) impression the upcoming recall election will be on the level.

I am assuming it will not be. That said, any having to stop and game the system like we saw in 2020 will be a clear signal that they are actively stealing elections.

California is a demographic polyglot of communities with nothing in common, in many cases not even speaking the same language. There're millions of illegals and virtually NO oversight of our corrupt state bureaucracy of any kind. It is a third world country.

Greasy Gavin cheating his way to victory will not be difficult at all.
