Imagine that you’re Gavin Newsom. You’re clearly the frontrunner to be the Democrats’ next nominee for president. And in preparation for that role, you’ve done a lot of homework. You’ve gone on Fox News several times for debates with Sean Hannity and Governor Ron DeSantis to hone your skills against the opposition.
You’ve traveled to the Munich Security Conference to make it seem like you understand foreign policy — even though you just awkwardly walk around the lobby and stare at Marco Rubio the entire time. You’ve laughed, or pretended to laugh, at all of the jokes about how you look (and act) like the guy in “American Psycho”. And you’ve even launched a podcast where you sit down with conservatives, including Steve Bannon, so that you come across as a moderate candidate who can carry a conversation with anyone — even the people you’re going to throw in prison, if you ever get the chance.
