positions have pretty much been in sync with mine. Obviously a significant plus in his favor among progressives.
I see him as a strong leader deserving respect and recognition.

I feel he's as qualified as any seeking that office. Obviously it goes without saying, the psychopath occupying the Oval Office along with his hired henchman and women equally psychopathic are a catastrophic anomaly to the standards and quality of character, intellect and demeanor which we expect from leadership.

Now that those standards and rules have been thrown out, and it is obviously a game of a different nature, we have to bring it on to them with a force they've never seen before.

I don't know if Newsom is that force or not, but to me he's filling the bill quietly adequately at the moment.

I would be interested in seeing others stepping up to the plate with the same spirit and fight.
