    As much as I don’t care for Newsom, he’s playing this well. Using the photos of the guys piled on each other in some classroom to call out Trump directly.

    Political affiliations don’t matter here; Americans like soldiers. Especially older people, they get livid seeing our soldiers get treated like shit.

      We’ve had the same thing with politicians in Canada. It’s gone from “he’s an asshole” to “but he’s OUR asshole”.

      I think congratulation politicians - whether you live them or not - when they do good things is well warranted. Keep in mind that while many couldn’t give a shit about you or I, they DO like ego-stroking and attention so positive reinforcement can actually work well.
