It's baffling how Gavin's TDS, as well as that of other Democrats, overrides any logic with regard to governance, right, wrong, and the rule of law.Ag_07 said:
I know it goes against the Dems TDS and their propensity to push back on anything implemented by Trump but if Gavin was serious about a presidential run he could've used this to catapult himself.
He could've come out and pushed back on the ICE raids but also spoke out vehemently against the violent protests. He could've stood up and said 'Look we don't agree with these raids but we also don't condemn violence and we're working directly with the POTUS to protect the citizens and property of CA and the US'.
Then afterwards he could've propped himself up for being able to work with Republicans to rid CA of the violence and work for the citizens.
Dems misplayed their hand and missed a huge opportunity.
They cannot resist the opportunity to oppose Trump. They HAVE to do it, no matter how nonsensical their opposition is. Gavin is literally willing to let Los Angeles burn to the ground, as long as he can score a temporary legal victory in a friendly courtroom.
As you so aptly stated, this is just another opportunity where Democrats could have signaled a return to reasonableness, as well as a desire to protect citizens who follow the law. But alas, pandering to noncitizens, criminals, activists, and the extreme far left seems to them to be the appropriate play.
At least they continue to show us who they really are...
