California governor: "Xenophobic" GOP will be 3rd party

California Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) told "Axios on HBO" that it’s highly likely Republicans will wind up as a third party nationally in 10 to 15 years because of their "xenophobia" and "hyper-masculinity."

Why it matters: Newsom runs America’s largest state, one in which non-whites are the majority. California has sued the Trump administration a record 50 times, making Newsom the de facto leader of the Democratic resistance.

"They are finished," Newsom said at his office in Sacramento.

White men, Newsom says, were "sold a complete bill of bullshit ... It’s just a yard of crap and it’s just damn sad."

Newsom says Trump often uses racism to whip up his mostly white male base: "He has blatantly expressed racist points of view and expressed them on multitudes of occasions during the campaign and since."

1. This was a presidential-level interview

His framing was exquisite.

“That’s not strong. It’s weak.”

That is how you answer everything the oppo does.

2. Newsom was great despite awful interviewer

Stumbling questions, interrupting, talking over, arguing and garbling. Can't even find it to dress more professionally to interview the governor of the largest state in the country?

Camera work was amateurish as well.

4. I Thought The GOP was History 15 Years AGO

The GOP keeps gasping along year after year. They have an in breed core of people in the middle of the country who do not think and are truly uneducated. They are the new drones who are the GOP zombies. They just eat, hate, and shit their whole life. The good news is they are "dying" of old age so they will be around another 20 years of unholy crapping in public. The middle of the country will be a "RED" strong hold for a long time. When Texas is blue then the GOP end is near....

5. The GOP knows this.

And yet, they keep using the same methods to hold on to their base. They have control in DC for now, but it won't last, gerrymandering will only get you so far...and much of that is being reversed.

They are packing the courts like Adam's did when the Federalist party died, a sign they know things are going to come to an end.

And none of them has the balls to change the party. In fact, they ran off everyone that tried or brought in new ideas. Then doubled down on stupid.
