Man, things are different in Denver.
Here in SF Newsom couldn’t go to an “avant garde” artsy anything without running into a crowd of leftists who hate his guts. Here, believe it or not, he is a conservative. And he is, outside of the necessary kowtowing to the powers that be and the bit of gay-grandstanding. And he wins elections here by 70%+ vs the local alternative.
And that lady beside him, Kamala Harris ? She is the heir apparent. She is a hopeless ditz. The alternatives are a horde of nuts, weirdos, and wanna-be Hugo Chavezes. There just isn’t anyone actually sane who wants to run for office here, even though most of the people would be happy to vote for the lone sane candidate.
Lets put it this way - if Newsom is Louis XV, she is Louis XVI, and after Newsom leaves, we here in SF are going to be in serious trouble. If Newsom speaks French (I don’t think so) he could indeed say “apres moi le deluge”.
....”If Newsom speaks French (I dont think so)”....
Perhaps greek?
