text:  The reality is that we are running against a machine. It's like the equivalent of an evil version of the San Antonio Spurs, right? It doesn't matter which player's on the field. It's a machine that runs itself either way. I happened to bump into Gavin Newsom in the spin room and outside the spin room yesterday. The guy was as radiant as I've ever seen. I have doubts whether it'll be him versus somebody who checks the identity politic boxes like Michelle Obama. But that's exactly the attitude. It doesn't matter who we're against.
