Gavin Newsom: "They're coming after you next."

This is really good messaging. Newsom is a really good orator and has a lot of charisma. He'd be a force to be reckoned with if he ran for President.

DeSantis vs Newsom would be a pretty interesting race

It would be a high turnout race for sure. Both are liked by the base but also they're absolutely loathed by the other side.

Oh sure though probably not to the level Biden/Harris vs Trump for example and there probably would be a more clear policy debate as well here too.

Sort of, but the hatred towards Trump and (to a lesser extent Biden) is much more personal, whereas people hate Newsom and DeSantis because they're basically mascots for the party they hate.

It's a strong message. Hopefully Jared Polis uses it in his campaign.

Polis is a really weak hypothetical presidential candidate and I don’t know why Atlas is so obsessed with him.

He's managed to be a popular Democratic governor who took a sensible approach to COVID. The fact that he would be a 'first' is also a bonus I suppose. Why do you say he's a weak candidate?

Zero charisma and he’s a moderate in all the wrong ways.
