Either that or he’s just feeding the Team Trump vs Team Desantis conflict. I got my money on that.

Newsom also tagged @CNN,

Equivalent to a scenario where we need to choose what college team is #1, Team A or Team B, and propose said Team A's athletic director to pick.

He’s trying to push BDR as de facto Republican Presidential Candidate and hope he’ll push GEotUS off the ticket.

Newsome is grandstanding on this. No way in hell that he will debate DeSantis as our governor would eviscerate him.

The Dems usage of “playing politics with peoples’ lives” is hilariously ironic and, moreso, hypocritical.

Newsom is clearly campaigning for 2024.


He’s so clearly doing it that the last time Biden went to Europe, Gavin came in and crashed his office. Now I know he was meeting with Ron Klein and Susan Rice to discuss running in 2024, but got to admire the ruthlessness right there. Gavin went full Rick James on Biden in his own home:

No upside to DeSantis debating him.
He just needs to keep trolling him.

DeSantis should respond I’ll debate you at the French laundry after you debate your gubernatorial opponent In this fall’s election.

The problem with Gavin is that he’s pampered. There is no serious challenge to his authority out here. He isn’t an idiot but he isn’t accustomed to having to actually fight and Ron would bring plenty of fight with him. I could see Gavin getting flustered pretty easily. He’d need a moderator that is in his back pocket.

Why would Desantis and Newsom debate?

“clearly you’re struggling..." Has he seen Charlie Crist lately? CC looks like a deranged lunatic with a bad suntan.

When have the Dems ever debated a republican without the moderator in their back pocket?

I could sorta see Gavin not having a whole ton of luck with those rather important Rust Belt states and their blue collar denizens whose temperament and proclivities don’t quite mesh that of a bratty, uppity, prissy left coaster such as this dude.

Would seem to me to be a terrible choice. Thus bet the farm on their promotion of him.

I hate to say this. It is cynical. Ron is a good governor. But this is to get both of these men on a national stage. It isn't happening in any organic way.

DeSantis ought to ask him why he feels he has any authority or any input on the way things are run in Florida.

RDS should respond "eat shite"

No. He should respond “Tomorrow night. I’ll come to your town and do it on your network.” Then when Newsom backs down - and he would - he should call him a candy arse.
