Newsom's Lack of Substance: A Recipe for Disaster as President.
Gavin Newsom, California's hapless governor, has announced his intentions to run for president. What will he campaign on? The answer is, not much. With a track record that includes the highest gas and electricity prices, taxes, debt, and poverty rates in the nation, one wonders what qualifications he brings to the table.
Newsom boasts of extending Medi-Cal health insurance to thousands more illegal aliens, only to request a nearly $3 billion federal bailout for this program. The state's budget deficit ranges from $15 to $70 billion annually, largely due to profligate spending and unfunded liabilities for state workers' benefits. This has led to the highest income taxes and sales tax rates in the nation.
A staggering 1% of California households pay 50% of the state income tax, with many fleeing the state as a result. Newsom's tenure has been marked by California's largest population of illegal aliens, homelessness, and poverty, all of which are on the rise. The state's infrastructure is woefully underfunded, with crime rates near the top of the nation.
So, how will Newsom address these pressing issues? Unfortunately, his campaign promises seem to be more focused on bluster and threats than actual policy solutions. He plans to continue making baseless claims against President Donald Trump, but what concrete steps will he take to address California's crippling debt and soaring prices?
It's hard to see how Newsom's brand of left-wing extremism, coupled with his ineffective governance style, would be a winning formula for the nation. His focus on demonizing opponents rather than proposing meaningful solutions leaves one questioning whether he truly understands what it takes to run a state, let alone the country.
As we look to the future, one thing is certain: Gavin Newsom's presidency will be marked by more of the same problems that have plagued California for years – high prices, taxes, and poverty. Unless he can shed his identity as a self-serving politician and demonstrate a commitment to real policy change, it's unlikely that he'll inspire much confidence in voters nationwide.
Newsom's campaign promises will likely fall flat unless he's willing to take concrete steps to address the pressing issues facing California and the nation. Until then, one can't help but wonder what exactly he plans to run on – other than his reputation for making empty threats.

This is what's at stake when Gavin Newsom steps into the presidential race without a solid plan to tackle California's mounting problems. Can he change his ways or will history repeat itself? 
Only time will tell if substance over soundbites is enough for voters to take a chance on him.
. The guy's been criticized for being out of touch with the state's problems and more focused on scoring points against his opponents rather than proposing meaningful solutions 
. Newsom's track record isn't exactly inspiring, especially when it comes to managing the state's budget and addressing homelessness 
. Can he really be trusted to make tough decisions as president? I hope he's willing to put in some real work and come up with a solid plan for the country, or else his campaign promises might just fall flat 
- Franklin D. Roosevelt 
. I'm not sure what's more alarming, his lack of experience or his willingness to bail out Medi-Cal with a whopping $3 billion federal bailout 
. The man can't even balance California's books, how is he gonna tackle the nation's debt? 
His track record on homelessness and poverty is also concerning - extending Medi-Cal to thousands more illegal aliens might be a Band-Aid solution, but what about addressing the root causes of these issues? 
. Threating to take on Trump without a clear plan is just posturing 
. Californians are already fleeing the state due to high taxes and prices - do you think the rest of the country wants more of that? 
Newsom needs to show some real substance if he wants to be taken seriously as a presidential candidate 
. I get that he wants to help more people with Medi-Cal, but a $3 billion bailout feels like a Band-Aid solution 
. His whole "left-wing extremism" vibe just doesn't resonate with me 
. I'd love to see more concrete policy proposals than empty threats 
. Maybe he can start by addressing Cali's issues before trying to fix the country? 
. He wants to be POTUS on the back of Medi-Cal expansion for illegals? 
.
anyone think he's gonna actually fix cali's problems? 
what's next, asking santa for help? 
and don't even get me started on his anti-trump rhetoric... it's all just talk 
️. And have you seen the numbers on who pays most of the state income tax? It's scary! 
. And his plan for Medi-Cal just seems like a way to get federal funding, which doesn't sound too good to me 
.
. It seems like he's more focused on blaming others (like Trump) than actually coming up with real solutions to the state's problems 
.
. And what's with all the bashing on Trump? Can't he focus on actually solving problems instead of just trash-talking people? 
. He's been running California into the ground with high taxes, debt, and poverty. What makes him think he can fix the whole country? 
His track record is all about empty promises and threats 
.
he needs to show us some real substance, not just a whole lotta hot air 
newsflash: California's problems aren't new, they've been there since the dot-com bubble burst 
and it's not like he's gonna magically solve them with his empty campaign promises 
. His track record shows that California's problems are still ongoing, with high gas prices, taxes, and debt 
. I'd love to see him propose concrete policies instead of just demonizing opponents 
.
(but with a $3 billion bail)
