"How do you deal with that one?" Newsom asks. "I'm asking you," he says to Dana Bash, who says "I'm not running." Then Newsom switches to inane verbiage: "That's the point. And the point is the point. And so what matters is what matters. Like, what matters is what matters."That poor boy! That video is from last month, but I'm looking at it now because it came up in this new NY Post article, "Huge wake-up call for Gavin Newsom and Kamala Harris as dire poll released."

"Dad, are you running for President?... You can't... I'm too young. You need to spend more time with us."
Gavin Newsom quotes his son:

Daddy Daddy you blew up that dam to make the chi coms happy (thru green revolution) so I can go fishing!
Daddy … which one is my mother?
Running a one party state with a sycophantic media does not prepare you for a tough job.
…what’s the worst is some strategist somewhere believes this angle somehow helps Gavin win…
Newsum needs to stay in a bit longer. He makes the perfect jester distraction.
Waiting for SNL (d) to mock this guy.

America deserves Gavin Newsom" - My suggested slogan
Newsum: "That's the point. And the point is the point. And so what matters is what matters. Like, what matters is what matters."
Prof, I know you've compared him to Griffy, but that could have issued from the mouth of Zippy. CC, JSM
Touching story. Won't even slow him ("Young Man in a Hurry" remember?) down a second.
JAQ for Newsum (d)
Politicians get in trouble for comparing themselves to Jesus. Newsum is comparing himself to God the Father:

"How do you deal with that one?" Newsom asks. "I'm asking you," he says to Dana Bash, who says "I'm not running."
So even Dana Bash has more morals and ethics than Newsom.
Got it
Wow, '28. Sorry. He makes me think of Windows '98, I guess. CC, JSM
Gavin's political function: Throw out F words and imitate Trump to help generate Party energy during late-stage TDS and to distract from the Biden/Harris/DEI fiasco.
The left doesn't believe 80% of what they say. Getting that 20% boost from nutty activists to "beat Trump" chewed up their "progressive" souls.
This is Nuisance's excuse to bow out.
I never knew who 'Griff' was before the 'Zippy the Pinhead' references, yesterday. But I think we should be applying this nickname with reckless, uncritical abandon, because it's almost perfect.
This photo makes me think Gavin is past it. He's only ever been a front for the Californians-in-charge. If the Californians-in-charge were Pat Sajak behind a curtain, Gavin would be the equivalent of Vanna White - and now he's losing his looks to late middle age. He's not going to get a pass on closer scrutiny any more, and he's too disordered to answer questions in a way that make him at least appear to be on the ball.
I wonder if that's the purpose of this 'learning disability' canard, maybe it's designed to alert journalists that they should be too embarrassed and ashamed to probe his intellectual shortfall.
Must be weird for the man who was literally measuring windows in The White House for new curtains during Biden's term, to understand only 27% of those polled found him acceptable.
My question: Who are those 27% and do they even know what a Governor is, or if California is actually a state or just a state of mind?
Son, father has to fiddle.
Gavin won't actually come to any decision until the Getty family tells him what his decision is. As always.
This guy is so completely full of shit. He's looking around like his phone would be on the floor, "If I had my phone I'd show you"
Democrats are still counting on gaming our system. It worked to get Joe in there but they were unsuccessful in creating the post electoral ‘democracy’ they envisioned. A decisive Trump victory is seen as only a minor setback…
Hair Gel is well on his way to making Kamalamadingbat look like a rocket scientist.
Gav Newlander doesn't look good wearing Mom Jeans.
He's babbling inanely just like Kamala, pretending he said something profound. At least Kamala was drunk. Gavin's just a cheap, plastic douche nozzle that will never hold up to the demands of real world use in the field.
Newlander. That's a good one, Howard.
Don't we miss James Taranto's "Bottom Stories of the Day?"
Tomorrow, press release from the pet psychiatrist of Newsom's dog.
Anything to keep that name in the paper onother day!
Can they fabricate this illusion any faster?
Gavin Newsom's youngest child, a son, is just 10 years old at the end of February. Meaning he would be 13 yrs old just after the inauguration, if there is one in 2029. Just at that age when kids no longer want their parents around so much.
Barron Trump was 10 when his father entered the White House in 2017. Perhaps Gavin's wife is less capable than Melania?
Best Newsom quote from video: ‘The point is the point. What matters is what matters. What matters is what matters. (repeated for its striking originality)” Contrast and compare with Pete Hegseth.
He keeps asking interviewers to answer the questions for him.
Why does a man that looks that old have children that talk like that.
Did he really quote his son asking him not to run when he is clearly intending to run? How does he expect this to play out?
"What matters is what matters"
- G. Newsom
"I yam what I yam".
- Popeye
In a two man race I'd vote for Popeye without hesitation.
I think the kid just knows what a shit President his father would be.
And he already knows Gav is a shit dad. Yet he’s willing to subject himself to more for the good of the country. What a patriotic young man.

Dear me, now, where did all this money come from ??

Gavin was able to name three of his four kids before he cut to “you get the drift” and Dana offered to help him name the rest of his kids.
Did he forget or does he have a deal with his oldest child not to mention her name?
Jerry Seinfeld has a bit about how repeating a word in a sentence gives what you say you authority, even when it is objectively meaningless.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t7JAHXFFGwU
He doesn’t give a crap about anyone other than himself. Can’t even make an intelligible statement about his ‘family decision’. Just the latest poll tested bs.
"Contrast and compare with Pete Hegseth."
Stop it ! Stop it! Can't you see he's already Dead?!
At least Kamala's word salads were tossed.
This more like a wedge of wilted iceberg lettuce with a dollop of expired sour cream.
"How do you deal with that one?" - You don't run for President, that's how. Why is this difficult for him? Because like all national-level politicians, he's consumed with a desire for power and glamor. I don't understand why he would want to bring this to the foreground. Does he think it will make him look good when he inevitably announces his candidacy? "Look everyone, I rejected my child's plea for a closer relationship!"
"Look everyone, I rejected my child's plea for a closer relationship!"
On the plus side, he's got jaq's vote.
He’s the “male” Kamala.
"How do you deal with that one?" Newsom asks. "I'm asking you," he says to Dana Bash, who says "I'm not running."
That's at least two interviewers who've had to tell Newsom he's the candidate who must explain his stance after Newsom has tried to turn a question back on the interviewer.

"Dad, are you running for President?... You can't... I'm too young. You need to spend more time with us." Gavin Newsom quotes his son.
Newsom is setting-up his face-saving "Cat's in the Cradle" excuse if his potential candidacy continues to flounder.
My son turned ten just the other day
He said, "Thanks for the ball, dad, come on, let's play
Can you teach me to throw?" I said, "Not today
I got a lot to do" he said, "That's okay"
And he walked away but his smile never dimmed
Said, "I'm gonna be like him, yeah
You know, I'm gonna be like him"
And the cat's in the cradle and the silver spoon
Little boy blue and the man in the moon
"When you coming home, dad?" "I don't know when
We'll get together then, you know we'll have a good time then"
Ma, ma, where's my pa?
Thinks he's off to the White House, ha, ha, ha!
Democrats are still counting on gaming our system.
I suspect there are a few real democrats that are pissed off they might either have to sit this out, vote third party, or even vote Republican, because they know the Democratic Party is setting up the ballot to be Newsom. The thing is, whether they know it or not; there will still be a ballot of them voting for Newsom.
Has anybody actually said that they want Gavin Newsome to run for president (aside from perhaps JD Vance)?
We'll know for sure that he's running when he finally wears a tie.
" the purpose of this 'learning disability' canard, maybe it's designed to alert journalists that they should be too embarrassed and ashamed to probe his intellectual shortfall"
A bold campaign strategy, Cotton. Let's see how that works out for him.
I need a good mnemonic for remembering if Newsom's name has an "e" on the end or not.
Fred Drinkwater, how about 'e's a bit off, isn't 'e? CC, JSM
Gruesom newsom nope
If he keeps running, you'll need a "Newsom is like Biden" tag. I'm skeptical about this supposed text exchange with his son and the screenshot on his phone. He doesn't hesitate to trot out his children (like Biden and Beau) as political props.
Newsom looks awfully tired these days, think what 4 years in the White House would do to him. We should spare him that fate.
Newsom is so creepy and pathological that, sometimes, I think he's am AI creation made to repel us.
Nexus 3
There must be something in the water in the capitol building in Sacramento that makes Newsom and Kamala talk that way. The water is the water.
"Newsom switches to inane verbiage" Compare and contrast with Pete H.
Brain slugs
"I need a good mnemonic for remembering if Newsom's name has an "e" on the end or not."
If it's got no "e", you can take a knee.
Why is it that almost every utterance from Gavin's mouth has the distinct whiff of the barnyard? The man only deals in bull dung.
"Let's see how that works out for him."
It got Biden "elected" 2020, with "81 million votes." Without the SAVE Act it might work for him too.
To Newsom's credit, he didn't pretend that his son asked him "Why do the Republicans want to kill us?"
He's saving that one for next year.
Why did he name his son Dutch after President Regan?
Liars are seen as a feature, not a bug in the DemoKKKrat party.
