Gavin Newsom is exactly what we've been needing

Someone to fight for us, someone to rally us, someone who can get the attention of the media, someone to expose the absurdity.

Not endorsing him for president or anything... just saying, he's giving me a bit of hope and that's been hard to come by these days.

The coverage was 90% Trump outrageousness to 10% Hillary's sensibility. It was like Hillary didn't exist. Newsom's outrageousness has their full attention, and that's a good thing.

Gavin is leading, while too many Democrats have been following.

Only one way to deal with a bully and that is to hit hard, hit first and don't stop hitting until the bully is destroyed.
