The sixth Democratic presidential debate took place Thursday night in Los Angeles, one of several California cities with out-of-control homeless problems. California Governor Gavin Newsom, who has called the state's growing homeless crisis a "national emergency," watched from the audience at Loyola Marymount University. After the debate, a reporter asked the governor why is was President Trump's responsibility to take care of the housing crisis that California has itself created.
"Well, he's president of the United States," Newsom said, "and I imagine he cares about people of the United States, and he cares about the largest state in the United States of America.

He does care, idiot. And he has tried to help but he is NOT going to throw good money at failed leftist policies. That's what you are trying to do, Gsvin...get more Federal tax dollars for the DemonRats to pocket while blaming Trump for the mess the Dems created.

Oh, sure....whenever their fat's in the fire, it's a "National Emergency". Now Governor Breezy expects the entire nation to pay for California's ineptitude. The Democrat Party in California should be broken up and new elections called for overseen by the Department of Justice...after screening to weed out the Obama spies and traitors.

California's homeless problem existed long before Trump became president and is exacerbated by Democrat policies.
The worthless governor has no idea of how to deal with the issue, so he uses the Democrat fall back plan of blaming Trump.

Well, gee, Gavin. How about explaining to us why these problems only seem to occur in demonrat run cities? Especially sanctuary cities in states which have legalized drug use?

Actually, Governor Newsom, California is the 3rd largest state in the US. Alaska is #1, and Texas is #2. But I hesitate to further confuse your jacked up narrative with the facts.

Democrats have destroyed a beautiful vibrant state and they will do the same anywhere their destructive policies are implemented. They are the party of destruction and they will do to the entire country what they have done to California if given the chance. That is why democrats must be shut out of the political process. They cannot be allowed to hold any position of power regardless how insignificant. Vote for a democrat and you are voting for your own destruction. This ain’t your granddaddy’s democrat party anymore. It is a vile, hate filled, aggressive, totalitarian beast that devours anything in its way in order to achieve its evil end. Democrats have destroyed California and I for one do not want to bail it out. When you welcome illegals to suck the system dry, enable the mentally ill among us to live on your streets, condone drug use, sanctimoniously implement politically correct but devastating policies on your state son’t Come running to the hard working taxpayer to save you. Grow up. Life is not a fairy tale. Hard decisions are needed to protect and profit everyone. It takes courage, common sense and reason to make a State work. California has abandoned those attributes long ago in favor of their pie in the sky foolishness. The democrat party has killed the goose that laid the golden egg and now they want us to revive it? Not a chance. You built that. You fix it.

Stories such as this are poison for the mind and soul. This may be the last political story out of CA that I’ll read until something changes. The overwhelming negativity it generates is personally unhealthy and unnecessary. No decent human worth their salt can honestly defend a CA Democrat. Beyond shameful.

Gov.Gavin must be asking auntie Nancy for advice. Typical demoKKKrat solution. Blame the Republicans. California was in this mess long before PRESIDENT Trump took office. I feel sorry for the conservatives who live in California. But this is not anyone’s problem but the Dems. You made the mess. You clean it up.

Newsom NEVER tells the truth. Sometimes he is intentionally lying, the rest of the time he is delivering his "wisdom", which is all counter-factual leftist gibberish which he actually believes, but is untrue.
Nothing he says is true.

FTA: "Well, he's president of the United States," Newsom said, "and I imagine he cares about people of the United States, and he cares about the largest state in the United States of America. And I imagine if you're president of the United States, any leader, like myself, feels a deep sense of responsibility to address some of the most vexing issues in the country. In that respect, you would imagine some accountability and some responsibility to be supportive and to reach out."
California has been a blue state for decades. Newsom's statement is the most stunning example of Progressive/Democrat denial of responsibility for creating the problem or doing anything about it. You can be sure that any attempt by President Trump to correct the problem will be met with bitter opposition by those that have made this mess.
To date, California Progressives/Democrats have squandered millions of dollars making the mess worse. Since California now has one of the highest state tax burdens, they are looking for other sources of money. What they want is for the federal government (that's the rest of us) to give them more money (with zero accountability) to squander making things worse.

Gay Newsom does what every failed democrat eventually does, blames Donald Trump for self-inflicted problems. How is that sanctuary city, feed and house the insane homeless coming along there, Guv? You wouldn't know, of course, you would have somebody go to the grocery store for you and you would never walk on a sidewalk.
Your problems are only beginning, come January 1 you have declared that all contract workers be classified as full-time employees. Daniel Patrick Moynihan made the same stupid move in 1986 and upset the lives of the best workers in the country. He couldn't foresee the huge problems either. Good luck with that.

More wisdom from the fountain of Leftard Wisdom. You would think that people would start to catch on as to how destructive Democrat policies are after four or five decades of it, but I guess not. Democrats have been running the schools all those years in order to cement their stupidity.

Proof once again of what happens when good people
decline to take on positions of leadership and responsibility.
It soon becomes apparent that those people who do are your

Gavin Newsom the flakiest of flakes sure is a dumb buffoon. He might have inherited much from the previous governor but he sure has fed the liberal beast with his own policies. As a taxpayer it's just not my cross to bear neither is it President Trump's. The entire state has squeezed out and shut down the Republicans and rigged the voting rules to keep them out. While this bozo claims the President should care about all Americans California liberals hug trees and underbrush to be 'natural' then the state nearly burns down, protecting an owl that doesn't exist shutting down the timber industry then stifles farmers to save a snail now tell me again about caring for American people again you stupid dweeb.

The thing is, DJT could solve the California homeless problem. Put the mentally ill back in institutions and stop tolerating the actions of the alcohol and drug-addicted. He has already created a successful economy. The able-bodied should be working, not sitting on the street.

Sorry governor Newscum, but this is you and Sacremento totally. You misspent Federal money in your state for decades, misspent state revenues for decades. Wanna blame somebody, blame Moonbeam and Obama, for they put it all on steroids.
Did you think all the social ills your party has caused would go away simply because your purty face got elected? The other 49 States knew exactly what was going to happen when you got elected. You have exposed yourself as somebody who is the definition of incompetent. Problem is, the rest of us are going to wind up on the hook for your incompetence, and that is why most of us out here in realville despise Cali, for you brought this on yourselves. Democrats built and own this whole mess. Take responsibility for it this time.

Most homeless are on drugs, alcoholics, or mentally ill. I'm sure most people would like to help them, but they don't want to throw good money after bad. homeless have to help themselves too.

Governor Good Hair talks about all the planning meetings and strategizing sessions that are taking place. But unless these lead to actual DOING they are meaningless. However, I guess they make the Dems feel good about themselves and we know that is what is most important (to them). That and obtaining Federal money that they can divide among themselves.

All good comments, but numbers 16 & 24 especially.
Anything POTUS Administration would do would be stopped by a leftwing judge, the ACLU, "Antifa" and every other leftist organization and activist.

Newsom is not only an idiot, he truly is an incompetent person and those who voted for him are also. They brought the homeless problems on themselves based on their vote and liberal policies - so clean your own house. Others should not pay for your mistakes. Vote in 2020 and vote conservative.

Probably the most unlikeable and obnoxious democrat alive. Like obama and clinton before him he has no clue as to what a governor of president is supposed to do. He's lazy. Clueless and proud of it. He acts as he thinks a leader should act. A real jerk and wise ass.

I live in an area of California where the people tend not to be morons, lunatics or illegals. In other words I live a primarily conservative area. Governor Gavin Newsom is a reprobate and he makes his hatred for President Trump known. Newsom proudly claims to be part of the Trump "resistance" movement. California is under Democrat control, and that's the reason we have a homeless problem, the highest housing prices in the USA, and our taxes are out of control. Newsom has always been proud of the fact that California is a "sanctuary state" and is overrun with illegals. After all the Democrats have to cultivate new voters. Bottom line is the Democrats are running California into the ground, not President Trump.

Cry to yo mama fool. You people have created this disaster and now have the nerve to blame the uninvolved? Reprehensible and loathsome. How about you and state democrats take responsibility. After all you have been running this state for many years now and it has all gotten worse and worse while you have been in charge. Your motto is don't just do something about it, sit there and complain and blame others. These people are your people, they vote for you to improve their lives and all you do is retain and grow power and they are still a long ways from anything.
