Gavin Newsom is a fake as hell fighter against fascism and Donald Trump. The idea of him throwing the next presidential election by losing the primary but refusing to drop out because he is the centrist who has been annointed rightfully by the party leadership and is thus entitled... is horrifying and seems more likely every day that passes.

Get ready for a repeat of Hillary Clinton's presidential campaign but even less popular and even more hopeless and cynical.
