Camp Newsom:
➡️ We need to come across as respectable to women. They're tired of Trump; we need to do the opposite.
➡️ Let's be honorable to Harris, suggesting we "wouldn't do that to her."
➡️ Even though we already know Harris won't run (I'm guessing they know), let's imply we wouldn't run against her if she did.
Now, he seems "candid" (when they're mic'd up and know they're on camera). He seems like a nice guy. Standing up to the "what?!?!" fake shock.
Now, Newsom seems like the opposite of Trump. Someone who would fall on the sword to help his team.
Yet, I think it's all a political stunt. I bet "zen diagram" was a plant to get Republicans to bring attention to this very interview. People will forgive "zen" vs "ven", but they might leave thinking: "nice guy."
Republicans will latch onto "zen diagram" which matters literally ZERO. People flub on words.
And then they walk into the trap of promoting Newsom.
It's all an act. But, I gotta give it to Newsom - they know how to play the game.
