Newsom thinks we want someone who behaves like Trump, but has different politics.
I’d be happier with someone with conservative policies, but who behaved completely opposite of Trump.

I hope y'all will listen to Halle Berry since y'all didn't listen to Taraji P. Henson
"...Newsom has vetoed our menopause bill, not one but two years in a row. But that's OK, because he's not going to be governor forever. And with the way he's overlooked women, half the population, by devaluing us in midlife, he probably should not be our next president either."
