So it's tempting to want to emulate the Trump playbook.

And that is what Gavin Newsom is trying to do.

But do so at your own peril.

We saw Marco Rubio try this.

We all remember Rubio with the water bottle.

Trump blew him out of the water by saying, look, I'm Rubio.

And he had the water bottle everywhere, making fun of Marco drinking from the water bottle in the State of the Union response.

It didn't work out for Marco Rubio.

He's come a long way since then.

It's not going to work out for Gavin Newsom.

You look at Gavin Newsom press shop.

I looked at it before coming to air.

He's tweeting out Newsom derangement syndrome, clearly trying to capitalize on something Trump has said.

He's live tweeting J.D.

Vance's speech.

And then he's tweeting about Trump's hands.

And, of course, he's trying to emulate Trump the back and forth with Rubio and Trump on the hands on the debate stage in 2016.

Emulation is a sincere form of flattery, but it is going to backfire and boomerang.

I don't want to give Gavin Newsom free advice, but if you try to copy Trump, it will come back in your face and you might not even make it through the Democratic primary.

There's one Trump.
