Yeah. Frankly, if I were Newsom, I probably wouldn’t do this. I suppose that it’s possible that he’s had serious legal analysis done taking the Logan Act into consideration, maybe even wants Trump to send the Justice Department after him, though I don’t think that it’s the tack I’d take. I think he’d do better to highlight unpopular failings in Trump’s policy and then say “if you elect me President, I will do differently”.

I’m also not at all sure that the climate is what I’d bang on, as Newsom. Like, I think that most climate voters are probably already voting Democratic. I think that he’d do better to highlight areas in which Trump’s policies are causing a reduction in standard of living, where he’s got a better chance of picking up swing voters.

That being said, he’s a professional politician, and I’m not, and he probably has a team of people picking apart polls and with a better political science background than me, so…shrugs
