Gavin Newsome was just interviewed on MSNBC.

[redwitch]

Lovely man, very well spoken. And said he is embarrassed that Donald Trump is even running. Good for him! I have never seen Gavin Newsome before, nor heard him speak. Smart, soft spoken but very clear and precise. And is it wrong of me to add very handsome?

Always so happy to hear an elected member of my party speak truth so eloquently.

[BeeBee]

1. Yes. The next governor of California.

I will proudly vote for him.

[elfin]

2. Kind of wish he held off until idiot Repugs nominated Trump

I am mightily impressed by Newsome, but don't think it is the job of Dems to derail Trump and resuscitate the GOP.

[redwitch]

3. I think the GOP was declared DOA already.

This election cycle has been too much for them. RIP?

[elfin]

5. We can hope that is true

But hate, gerrymandering, media manipulation,and voter suppression are alive and well.

[madokie]

4. YES on all counts

I'm proud to be a life long Democratic Party member. simple as that

6. absolute marriage wrecking scumbag

In January 2007, it was revealed that Newsom had had a romantic relationship in mid-2005 with Ruby Rippey-Tourk, the wife of his former deputy chief of staff and then campaign manager, Alex Tourk.[78] Tourk filed for divorce shortly after the revelation and left Newsom's campaign and administration. Newsom's affair with Rippey-Tourk[79] impacted his popularity with male voters, who viewed his indiscretions as a betrayal of a close friend and ally.[80]

7. I didn't know this.

No need to be snippy.

8. snippy?

that snippet is all there is on wikipedia about the weasel's most prominent feature.
Believe me, plenty of enthusiasts know full well what he is made of and dont care cuz he is so cute
I meant nothing personal towards you.
He makes Bill Clinton look like a perfect gentleman.
Talk about shitting where you eat, sticking a knife in someone's back.
that dude needs a daily beating for being just who and what he is.

10. If we knew the truth about all our politicians

We'd find much more philandering that you'd think.

For every philandering male, there's a willing female. So my view is that it's a 50/50 crime. It you'd call it a crime.

Me? I think we should stop expecting consenting adults should be pure as the driven snow.

Newsome is a very good politician and if he runs for Governor he gets my vote. I don't care who he sleeps with.

12. breaking up a marriage AND screwing over your closest associate?

is much more than "philandering"
he is an asshole, 1st class.

[lunatica]

15. The woman who had the affair with him is the one who broke up her marriage

I find it ridiculous that it's always the man's fault. The woman was just as guilty. Maybe she didn't really want to be married to her husband. Who knows why she did it, but if she cared about her marriage she should have made sure to honor it.

That's why I don't care about people's secret or not so secret love affairs. And rarely do they have anything to do with how people behave otherwise.

18. his campaign manager's wife

its not about either of them, its about what he did to his top aide.
And you would think people might understand what sort of fealty he will
exhibit towards voting taxpayers. All that matters to someone like Gavin is Gavin.
scum of the earth does not belong in any office, let alone in power.

its not that hard, lets not be superficial about the most important offices in the country.

[lunatica]

19. You should find out what his political legacy is

Not everything starts and ends in someone's sex life.

20. I live in California

whatever turnip truck I fell off came through a long time ago.
I dont need wikipedia to tell me about that scumbag.
Its a good thing too, because there's plenty of dirt that aint there.

[Brother Buzz]

11. To be fair, demon drink had a firm grip on Newsom during that sordid period of his life

It's all better now, or so they say.

[reddread]

13. didnt have to get Jesus?

always good to save those cards for next time.

[Brother Buzz]

14. You don't need Jesus cards when you have Getty money in you corner

[wheniwasincongress]

16. Isn't Gavin also the guy

who was in his thirties while dating an 18-year-old?

[wheniwasincongress]

17. Ooh I was right!

(but she was 19) http://abcnews.go.com/US/story?id=2581600

he seems sleazy

[femmocrat]

9. I have seen him on Bill Maher's show.

I think he used to have his own show on Current, too? He is dreamy!

[CTyankee]

21. glad he's back. I, too, am happy he has returned...liked him a lot...
