I saw someone reporting on this that Newsom is "breaking from Democrats"....he's really not. I think the issue has been blown up by the magats.Post edited by Kat onRemember the Thomas Nine !! (10/02/2018)

And it's good that he is just coming out and saying it...the Dems have blown the communication on the issue, as Newsom even says about the Harris campaign. This is a good sign for a guy that might run for president.Post edited by Kat onhippiemom = goodness0

"Other Democrats have gotten pushback for comments similar to Newsom’s. Democratic Rep. Seth Moulton of Massachusetts has been vocal about transgender policies and told The New York Times in November that identity politics, particularly around transgender rights, hurt Democrats in the election, saying, “I have two little girls. I don’t want them getting run over on a playing field by a male or formerly male athlete. But as a Democrat, I’m supposed to be afraid to say that.”Moulton got criticism from Democrats for his comments, and his campaign manager, Matt Chilliak, resigned in response to the remarks, according to The Boston Globe."

Newsom addressed both sides of the issue, saying, “You know that these poor people are more likely to commit suicide, have anxiety and depression, and the way that people talk down to vulnerable communities is an issue that I have a hard time with as well. So both things I can hold in my hand.”

Similar to the abortion issue. The right brands the dems as loving abortions rather than just wanting that to be a choice between a woman and her doctor.Remember the Thomas Nine !! (10/02/2018)

Why is the government in a better position to manage it than the agency/association that controls the sport? We also know the legislation written by republicans is poorly done.0

The House vote was 218 to 206 with two Democrats voting in favor and one Democrat voting “present.” Reps. Vicente Gonzalez and Henry Cuellar of Texas were the two Democrats who voted for the bill and Rep. Don Davis of North Carolina was the present vote.1993: 11/22 Little Rock

We have a pretty decent congressman in the state I live in. He won't hesitate to cross party lines if he thinks a bill isn't good for the people he represents.0
