Gavin Newsom goes on the air against Ron DeSantis as political rivalry grows

Gavin Newsom and Ron DeSantis aren't just avatars for the different futures of their parties, but also for the separate realities blue and red Americans are living in -- two people of opposing viewpoints looking at the exact same set of facts and coming to vastly different conclusions.
They're both governors, rising stars and speculated soon-to-be presidential candidates, building out micro-ideological models in their sunny capitals.
In ever-blue California, Newsom, the son of a state appellate judge, has rebooted from his start as a flashy progressive hero around quieter legislative pushes. Meanwhile, in reddening Florida, there's DeSantis, the son of a Nielsen box salesman, who in public cleaves less to his two Ivy League degrees than to the anti-elitist, reactionary politics that have consumed the GOP.

Newsom now is going on the air against DeSantis in Florida -- with what he says is not the first ad of the 2024, or even the 2028, presidential race -- with the goal of trying to get Democrats to reclaim a sense of collective identity that could enable them to beat Trumpism in the long term.

With $105,000 on Fox News, Newsom's new ad, first provided to CNN and set to air on July 4, is a mashup of a classic campaign spot, business investment pitch and one of those California tourism commercials full of celebrities saying how much better it is there, wrapped in the existential terror that's wracking progressives these days...................

Newsom should worry about the shithole he is governor of. The only thing Newsom can run is his lying spewing mouth. People are leaving Kalifornia as fast as they can because of the DCP policies Newsom has put in place but he wants to tell someone else how to do it. If people think Traitor Joe is bad wait until they get a load of Newsom.

Well, typical of Democrats, they want to solve problems in other people's areas that they cannot do anything about, don't even exist, of that are being solved by policies that show the Democrats they are fundamentally wrong about most everything.

In the meantime, the policies they have jurisdiction over go unaddressed, but they look like they are 'doing something' and 'care'.

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

How pathetic that Gov. Greaseball can so thoroughly screw up his state and still think he's presidential material.

That begs the question of who is more delusional? Traitor Joe or Newsom.

So two governors who have seen people flee their states want to run for president.

Might as well throw Hochul in the mix

Is he really stupid enough to believe that he’s gonna cause an exodus of people from Florida back to California?

By picking a fight with DeSantis, he's trying to raise his profile for the 2024 Dem Primaries.

Trump, Abbott, and DeSantis are the three biggest GOP boogie men.
