Strange how once-potential and high-rated 2024 Dem presidential candidates like Newsom and Whitmer are going out of their way to tank their 2028 prospects and undermine what made them so appealing to so many last year: their willingness to take on Trump and MAGA.

I don't endorse every action of Democrats, but if it was easy I could run for office myself
It's a horrible situation but people take precedence over political points
And shame on any racist, sexist democrats who don’t support this.
His unstable state of mind disrupts the country, yet this topic remains taboo.
Media: roll back the Goldwater rule and invite psychiatrists to discuss it.
Many of US believe Dems should be more progressive.
One thing, for sure; WE NEED TO GET IT TOGETHER!!!
Whitmer should have arrived with a solid statement about the stupidity of starting a trade war and be prepared for Trump manipulations while she wanted what’s best for her state.
The two aren’t the same.
He's stated before that this would put too much pressure on his wife.
She's been through enough, and he puts her welfare before his career.
He's truly a good man.
He is one of 5 democratic reps. who have voted the most for Trumps policies and nominees. It's a fine line but the margins are really slim these days.

Send someone else???
Do not be in Oval Office during a signing of an executive action while he rants about 2020 election
Bad move Govna!
We were 💯 right & so was Bernie.
Sigh...tribalism is unaliving us ☹️
(1)Does not support M4A...
(2)Sends his children to an elite private school and is not a leader of average Californians...
(3)He is not at any of the "hands off" protest events...
This can all be easily verified.
This was no Fetterman going to Maralago or Newsome chatting on RW podcasts.
I think her face tells you that.
Overgrown cunt
She really should've known they would pull some shit like this on her.

to kneel and kiss the ring.
What good could they have thought as they passed through the gates
to the court of the Orange King?"
He’s out there doing a terrible podcast and buddying around with the most horrible people. She just got stuck in the Oval Office.
ALL politicians want two things - to get elected and stay elected. They'll play whatever part is necessary to get them there.
If the left keeps this isolation up of anyone that has to deal with him…..elections will continue to be lost.
Of the nine House members and one senator tracked, Forbes reported that "four Democrats bought Tesla shares and six sold, while two Republicans bought and one sold."
YOU WONT BE PRESIDENT CLOSET MAGA FUCK
Big law, media, politicians, police, trade unions, economists, they all cowered.
But the teachers shielded students, first from bullets and then from ICE.
It’s instructive and being viewed as such…
you think this helps the Democratic Party politically?
Whitmer has an auto industry to protect, and Newsom has a fire disaster that needs FEMA.
What’s the alternative? Be a bad ass and then put a target on your back that causes your state to suffer?
This is a terrible situation.
The fact that it backfired is a good thing for California, because it makes him less of a threat.
This is all far from ideal, but these are not normal times.
She’s a victim. It wasn’t her plan to participate in an impromptu press conference in the Oval.
Will he let this be the only time he uses power in exchange for submission?
Both of them are idiots
He is happy to go after anyone.
Now he has access to so much more information with the DOGE access
His idol Putin uses this tactic all authoritarians do

Go after Fetterman, that jerk keeps voting w/ MAGA. He’s betrayed Dems.
& Newsom went anti-Trans. Some Trans girls just want to play sports w/ friends. Decide on a case-by-case basis by build.
An International Athletic Association has written standards for competition of trans players in female athletics that depend on length of time on hormones + whether they are passed puberty that is logical+ science based
Females athletes who have trained their entire lives should not have their dreams taken from them w unfair competition standards
That's not fair
Gov. Whitmer was representing her state. She didn’t kiss the ring, & her facial expression clearly showed she would have preferred a root canal. Newsom was also not there to praise Trump. Talking to that orange wanker is NOT giving in to him. Both still have to run their states.
and therein lies the problem.
