Ron DeSantis Calls Gavin Newsom to run for President
2023-06-16
[PJMedia] Gov. Gavin Newsom (D-Calif.) might be Patient Zero for a new condition: DeSantis Derangement Syndrome. Newsom is in many ways the Bizarro DeSantis — governing a state with an enviable climate and incredible natural beauty. And just as DeSantis is fighting many of his state’s political wars from the right side of the aisle, Newsom hits from the opposite side.

While Newsom has aimed his arrows at other red states — with billboards hyping the "freedom" of California as well as the state’s abortion tourism industry — he particularly loves to go after DeSantis and Florida. He even bought ad time on television in the Sunshine State encouraging Floridians to move West to experience life the Newsom way.

Then the money quote

"But what I would tell him is, ’You know what, stop pussyfooting around. Are you going to throw your hat in the ring and challenge Joe? Are you going to get in and do it or are you just going to sit on the sidelines and chirp? So why don’t you throw your hat in the ring? And then we’ll go ahead and talk about what’s happening.'"

#3  Are some candidates pre-selected?
How much choice do we have?
Bernie Bros would say none.
Does DeSantis know something?

Newsom is a horrible candidate. But if he runs against DeSantis, uniparty synergy, DeSantis will make Newsom look the more palatable of the two candidates.

#2  The only people DeSantis has to debate are other GOP primary opponents. The only way he would have to debate Gov. Brylcreem is if they are their respective parties' nominees.

That would imply each of them has knocked off Trump and Bidet respectively in their primaries.
