I can’t see Newsom winning this confrontation? Shutting down I-5 is rather drastic. Regardless of the imagined safety concerns, this is a petty little exercise and I can’t see any benefit for either side. You decide? Besides, the traffic estimate seems to be very on the low side, in my opinion. Besides, I doubt that it has ever been done, excepting a landslide or forest fire?

Big part of the Democrats playbook; (1) Never let a good crisis go to waste. (2) If you don't actually have a crisis, blow something out of proportion until you do. (3) Blame Trump.

Trump got robbed on the Nobel Peace Prize; but there’s always next year! Bank on it!
