Fires burned Gavin Newsom's political future and other commentary

[NYPOST] ''Two years ago Gavin Newsom was widely seen as a rising Democratic star and likely future presidential candidate,'' but ''how quickly things change,'' snarks Joel Kotkin at UnHerd.

In his weekend trip to Cali, President Trump ''wasted no time in attacking the state's progressive policies,'' calling ''on Newsom to change the state's water policies.''

''Trump's demands have drawn attention to the state's self-inflicted wounds, and its pattern of astounding incompetence,'' while his energy plans make ''things all the more difficult for Newsom's climate policies,'' since ''Texas, Oklahoma, North Dakota, Pennsylvania and Ohio are ready to get richer,'' while ''Newsom is taking California in the opposite direction.''

''As the fires are extinguished, so too are the California governor's presidential hopes.''

#2 Considering all the right people getting paid off, the PR campaign, the overseas meet and greets, and Obama himself certifying her 3am election results, I think Bass was being groomed to be the next Newsom.

#3 Would like to think so, but then, I wouldn't have bet they'd pick Kamala , either.

#4 The Machine prefers their agents to be dim and predictable, and with a sordid se% deviancy for control purposes.

They both qualify. So does Newsom, cheating with his campaign manager's (and his friend) wife.

#5 Once the water gets turned on, turning it back off would likely be unpopular with people considering the recall of politicians.

#6 #4 I've met her. (She's a friend of a friend.) Add "while she was having substance abuse problems and worked for the Democratic Party" to "his best friend and campaign manager's wife" to understand the level of Gavin's sleeze. To this day she can't tell the real story without ruining her and her husband's careers.

Gavin doesn't walk. He glides from place to place.

#7 Gavin doesn't walk. He glides from place to place.

I'd suggest salt, spread liberally. He'll dissolve
