Republicans Can Win Boxer’s Senate Seat
breitbart.com ^ | 1/12/15 | Assemblyman Tim Donnelly

Posted on 01/12/2015 10:15:09 AM PST by cotton1706

Boxer’s Senate seat is the GOP’s to lose.

But you’d never know it reading the news coverage. Pundits have already awarded the seat to one of the many Democrats rumored to run. Ironic that early rumors had two Democrat billionaires as possible suitors.

I wonder how that would go. Would they tone down the class warfare rhetoric? Or would they behave like the GOP and go to war with themselves?

Either way, it would be good for Republicans whose statewide drought has continued unabated since as long as anyone can remember.

It’s become common knowledge that Republicans can’t win because California is too liberal. Yet that’s simply not true.

Republicans have lost because they are ruthless at stamping out grassroots candidates who make the party elite uncomfortable, then put up candidates so moderate and so boring that the grumpy, old, white extremist Democrats–Brown, Pelosi, Feinstein, Boxer–win every time.

Why? Because they actually believe in what they believe in. Love or hate him, Jerry Brown has a visceral quality that you have to admire, even if you vehemently disagree with his policies. He’s a street fighter.

Do you even remember who the GOP put up?

If the GOP continues to follow the Karl Rove playbook, they will affirm the definition of insanity and they will continue to lose. Rove’s plan for California, in the first gubernatorial race conducted under the “jungle primary” rules, was to bring all the power and resources of the GOP establishment to destroy the conservative candidate in order to lose the general election with a more moderate, less offensive candidate.

In the general, Rove’s strategy worked like a charm–and Republicans lost.

“I may not be a fortune teller, but I foresee that kids with an over-inflated sense of their own self-esteem won’t amount to anything in life.”

Indeed, and lose it they will.

After all, they are not called the “stupid party” for nuttin’!

In California “republican” means Arnold Schwarzenegger.

Promise to stop the high speed train and use the money on water resources, and we might get some traction.

The R party elite nominates people that are either quite objectionable to most voters or else are such obvious toadies of corporate welfare/ corruption that nobody wants them anywhere near public office. I guess they’ve got enough money to hang onto their control, too. Sure seems like it

Faxing will crush the product. You should ask them to email it as a CAD file so you can use 3D printer to make some.

I don’t see how. californicate is a lost cause. it’s only hope is for the sane parts of CA to split off from the insane parts and form separate state(s).

Do we remember who they put up to destroy Tim?!

We do!

It's the Bhaghwan Shree Kashkari, trying to hypnotize you with his Swami look!

Cue the snake charmer music...

I am sorry but I live in California . this state is so liberal that if someone turns right while driving they are accused of being conservative. I am afraid the only way this state will elect anyone republican is if a sizeable portion of the population were to die or move to other states.

Funny, I've been saying that.

$68 billion will buy a LOT of desalinization plants. Like enough to flood the entire West.

Speaking of the cubby loser, Rove was on Fox this morning trying to get a gig with Jeb or Romney by talking up their candidacies.. When the gal moderator asked if conservatives might go third party, he laughed and said that would never happen, that they always show up on Election Day.

Conservatives are the Blacks of the GOP, only they are taken for granted and don’t even get Free Stuff. That should be remedied the next time the GOPe sticks us with another losing “moderate” candidate.
