How Gavin Newsom's Resume Would Read

 1.  As a kid, he was classified with dyslexia....to the extent that his reading method, and the ability to handle numbers....are hampered even now.

2.  His family was always short on money....leading to him having several part-time jobs in his youth....while growing up in California.  

3.  He eventually attended Santa Clara University (partially on a baseball scholarship), getting a degree in political science in 1989.   

4.  He ended up after college in a start-up company.....'PlumpJack'....which was a winery.  

5.  In this stage of business.....he had his first dealings with bureaucracy with the town....in getting a sink-drain situation approved for the wine shop.  He felt no approval was necessary....the city said wine was food.  This led to a $27,000 expense for the start-up.  

6.  Over the next seven years....1993 to 2000.....it was a successful operation, and they had 700 employees and several 'fronts' going on.

7.  Newsom would eventually take his profits and throw it at five restaurants, and several men's fashion shops.  By 2003, he held a balance of $7-milllion in property and investments. 

8.  All of the business fronts were sold in 2004.....as he ran and was elected mayor of SF.

9.  2010, he ran for lt-governor and won.  He repeated in 2014.

10.  2018, he ran for governor and won.

11. Somewhere in the period of 2006/2007....he noted he had an alcohol misuse problem, and 'cleaned' up.  

12.  For a brief period of four years, he was married to SF prosecutor Kimberly Guilfoyle (you might remember her from Fox's The Five Show).  You might also remember her being within the Trump circle in the past three years).  

Politically?  If you wrote down the twenty-five most extreme positions on the Democrats chart presently.....he would be lined up on the far left side for fifteen of those positions.  

If you were asking me how hard it'll be for him to sell his brand in the south, or in Iowa caucus.....I'd say he's got troubles ahead.  The other negative?  He's a plain white guy in a $1,000-suit, who looks like a male model.  

Then I come back to this dyslexia problem.  I have doubts that he can read through a prompter for his speech, and it's mostly by memory that he delivers short dynamic speeches.  On a constant campaign effort for the primary, and in September/October....he's going to have problems when he delivers his 'talks'.
