A straw poll of conservatives revealed on Saturday that Donald Trump is strengthening his grip on the party grassroots, but also found that Gavin Newsom is viewed by many as the likely Democratic runner in 2024.
Only eight percent of attendees at the Conservative Political Action Conference in Dallas Texas thought that President Joe Biden will be on the ticket.
In contrast, 37 percent said they believed the California governor - who has been dinging Republican governors in Texas and Florida with newspaper and TV ads - will win the Democratic nomination.
'You're saying it's going to be Gavin Newsom,' said pollster Jim McLaughlin to the crowd.

Oh, no! This can’t be true, according to the MFM!

I question the 69% number. Every candidate Trump backed this past week won. Every candidate. As for Newsom, good, hope he runs. He will be no contest to Trump.

I think it will be Newsome. JB will resign for “health reasons” and decline to run again. Pretty boy Gavin is all they have. If they manage to cheat again and get him in the Oval Office it will be the coup de grace for the United States.

I was for DeSantis until the J6 committee went overboard. Now I will support Trump to show the idiots on the committee that their version of a show trial shall not stand. There is much that needs to be aired about the 2020 election that is being swept under the rug. Politics today is a contact sport and DeSantis is showing the way. Trump 2024, DeSantis 2028.

I will be very surprised if Gavin Newsom is the Democrat nominee in 2024. His political path from San Francisco County supervisor to mayor of San Francisco to Lieutenant Governor to Governor was greased by the San Francisco political machine that runs California. He is the product of the one-party state political system that put him where he is. Kamela Harris's political career is much the same as Newsom's and we saw how poorly she did against her fellow Democrats in the 2020 election cycle.
Any competent Democrat opponent who has prevailed in a serious contest should be able to wipe Newsom out. Certainly any Republican presidential nominee should be able to run circles around the pampered Newsom.

OT, but try to find and watch Steve Bannon's speech at CPAC.

'24 is the Year of Trump. '28 the Year of DeSantis. Just think back who made candidates out of 0bama, Hillary and Biden. The same people will decide in '24. Not certain they have given the nod to anyone.

Wait until Red America gets a whiff of that effeminate limp-wrist leftist fop Newsom. He makes Bathhouse look like Chuck Norris.

The demorats have no choice; they have to nominate a black LGB womxn whatever. The far left whackdoodle Squad wing will not be denied this time. If they find a transgender, so much the better. If Stacey Abrams loses in Georgia, she might be acceptable and toad-ugly enough. Newsome is too white and too oily, and his Pelosi connections won't help him.

DeSantis knows how to play the press, but the press knows how to play Trump. He's the one they want in 2024.

I thought Michelle O was their big gun and Newsome, slightly less irritating than Beto, was but a peashooter by comparison.

Agree, #5. Not to mention that he’s Nasty Pelosi’s nephew. All that PDT would have to do is point out all of the ways that Newsom has destroyed California and why people are leaving the state in droves.

For those of us who have lived under Governor Grusome's tyranny, the political ads for his presidency will be hilarious! The governor of poopville is running for president of the United States. The governor of drugs, needles, illegal aliens sleeping on your front lawns is running for president. Governor Moosalini who closed the beaches and the parks and the ocean for a virus, is running for president. A governor who can go out to a high priced restaurant for a meal, but his citizens are locked up in their homes, is running for president. That will go over big with the rest of the country who hate the Covid scam.

Oh, yes! Please, please! Democrats choose Gavin! Choose Gavin!!! He's the Golden Boy!!! There is no one better in America to represent the Democrat philosophy. His pedigree is flawless, his list of accomplishments unsullied by success and he's hypocrisy personified. He's just absolutely perfect!

Pelosi’s nephew would be a perfect example of nepotism. Democrats have ruined California, the land of $6.50 Diesel, boarded up shops, and homeless encampments.

He’s working a back door scheme to get rid of Joe get Kamala in to the Oval Office and become VP. Then the real damage begins. Look what he’s done to California. Just imagine what his plans for the country are.
