Gavin Newsom’s own PAC spent $1.5 million buying thousands of copies of his new book, accounting for 2/3 of overall sales, according to his campaign.

The irony of which will be pictures and video of Californians that....wait for it....here it comes....it's worth it...can't find a job or afford to fill up their gas tank.

California is PERFECT.

Pubs have some strong candidates.

Rubio/Gabbard vs Newsom/AOC would be an interesting race.

I agree they tried in 2024, and failed, but they will try harder in 2028, like Avis RENT A CAR.

There will be fraud in swing states.

And as we saw in 2000, a few hundred votes in a critical location can swing an election.

I like Rubio better than Vance.

Can you imagine the debate between Gabbard and AOC? Comedy Gold!

As far as fraud, we will have armies ready to combat it. And they will NOT get away with the Midnight Halt ever again.

The challenge will be mail-in ballots, and requiring voting ID.

I have been impressed with Rubio, and you have the Hispanic thing. He is well liked in Florida.

Vance has not had alot of very public moments, but I do like him when I see him speak.

I would like a Rubio/Vance ticket, but Vance is not likely to be VP again.

Rubio/Gabbard would be good…but it is a ways off.

Gabbard/AIC debates would be AMAZING!

Not going to happen.

Here's what's going to happen.

Republicans are going to take an absolute bath in November, losing the House and the Senate. Probably a shit load of state offices as well.

Then they will roll back all the GOP voter suppression efforts.

It will suck to be you.

 

[TNHarley]

Almost as bad as when obamas state department bought a whole bunch of copies of one of his books while he was President. On our dime.

 

[ColonelAngus]

So his publisher profited and he will likely see financial gains FROM DONOR MONEY.



DEMS ARE HILARIOUS.

Trump's approval rating is down to 37%. It will be much worse by 2028, when we are in full recession.

its still higher than congress...

 

[JoeB131]

its still higher than congress...

Meaningless.

Congress is run by Republicans right now. That would make it even more likely they'll take a pasting in November.

It depends on the economy and after the war settles the economy will take off. Indictments for democrats supporting welfare fraud will start and people will see a video of democrats refusing to stand to support America first over and over again.

Nah, that pendulum came to a stop when the dems stole the 2020 election.

Thread 'Newsom book sales'

Friday at 9:24 PM

Gov. Gavin Newsom found a novel way to boost both his political war chest and his memoir sales, by tying the two together.

The Democrat offered supporters a copy of his book, “Young Man in a Hurry: A Memoir of Discovery,” in exchange for donations of any size to his political action committee.

New federal filings released Wednesday show Newsom’s PAC, Campaign for Democracy, shelled out $1,561,875 to purchase and distribute those books through the promotion.

Damn, If ya can't sell em. Ask for a donation and give them away.

Buy YOUR book with DONOR money to boost sales is INTERESTING,

Maybe it will be given away at campaign events. What is does it is create a perception of fake popularity by increasing book sales, when in fact, it is NEWSOM buying his own book using CAMPAIGN MONEY.

SO NEWSOM TO DO SOMETHING LIKE THIS.

The guy who went to an expensive dinner out at FRENCH LAUNDRY while YOU WERE LOCKED DOWN.

#NOKINGS, right?

Seems to me that is money laundering.
