Gavin Newsom, the self-proclaimed "established insurgent, believes that there is a pocket of delusional free-market Marxists who are longing for his leadership.  If so, they do not live in New Hampshire, where Newsom is being trounced by Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. Voters can spot the real thing; AOC is authentically bananas. That is better than a Newsom banana split that is part establishment and part insurgency.

Gavin Newsom made his latest pitch to the mob by proclaiming himself “an established insurgent.” Like a preservation arsonist, it makes no sense to anyone else. Yet, Newsom believes that he can ride this radical rage to power. Call it the Danton delusion.
