Column: Newsom-DeSantis debate would be good for voters — and two ambitious politicians

LA Times  

Never mind the Republican presidential debate Wednesday. “It’ll be the most interesting debate in the next two years because it’ll be about the future,” the Newsom confidant said. “If I were Gavin Newsom, I would not even be talking about a debate with DeSantis,” says longtime Democratic consultant Darry Sragow, who publishes the California Target Book, which chronicles state political races. “Kennedy, after the debate, asked, ‘Who the f— got me into this?’” Reagan biographer Lou Cannon wrote in his book “Governor Reagan, His Rise to Power.” Newsom is no Reagan. “DeSantis wants a cheering section — extra help from the audience.” Shrum doubts they’ll ever agree on details and doesn’t believe there’ll be a debate.
