Larry Elder explodes into the lead in California
American Thinker ^ | 25 Jul, 2021 | Andrea Widburg

No wonder the Democrat Secretary of State tried to keep him off the ballot.

I’ve made no secret of my support for Larry Elder. If I were still in California, I’d vote for him in a heartbeat. He’s intelligent and deeply principled, and California is in very bad shape. The good news is that I’m not the only one who likes Larry. It turns out that a lot of Californians are relieved that Bruce “Caitlyn” Jenner isn’t the only alternative to Gavin Newsom.

According to an Emerson College/Nexstar Media poll, there’s bad news for Newsom and good news for Elder. With the election coming up in September, currently, 43% of voters want to recall Newsom, while 48% want to keep him in office. If Newsom continues to re-lockdown the state, those numbers can be expected to get much closer – and the 9% of undecided voters will follow the trend.

Even more damaging for Newsom is the fact that, while a lot of voters aren’t enthused about kicking him out early, a large majority (58%) wouldn’t vote for him when he runs for reelection in 2022. Moreover, a plurality of voters gave Newsom a grade of “poor” on key issues: COVID, droughts, wildfires, and the homeless. If Newsom cherished any ideas of jumping from California to the White House, he’d better put those dreams aside.

And what about Larry Elder? It’s clear that those voters who want to get Newsom out, to the extent they’re thinking ahead, are most excited at the prospect of getting Larry in:

On the question of who they would vote for if Newsom was recalled, a majority (53%) of voters are undecided on a candidate. Within the field of candidates that currently have support, conservative talk radio host Larry Elder leads at 16%,

The people of California seem too stupid to get rid of Newsom when they have the chance to do it.

Just take a look at the list of crooks and liars they consistently return to office. Build a wall around them, keep the lunacy from spreading.

Elder elected as “Mini-Trump” in the Sacramento Swamp.

remember that the corrupt D’s have a stranglehold on election systems in major population centers so don’t be so sure that the results you see are actually the voice of voters.

This is so weird to watch yet another guvner recall election here in California. Last time around we here on FR were inundated by the same ‘electability’ republicans that were pushing for tootyfruityrudy Giuliani.

It took several years for those Conservative In Name Only CINOs to self-immolate in the bugzapper thread.
https://freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1821435/posts

In 2003 they were very vocal about Tom McClintock who was in the lead, criticizing him for ‘electability’. The same baloney that’s been thrown around with McCain, Romney, and every other RINO.

Now I expect them to be vocal about this Larry Elder guy, even though I’ve never heard of him.

Let’s say Larry Elder gets in and becomes governor, you still have a liberal house and senate majority that can override any veto.

It’s a start but little if anything will get done. The state, like every liberal state needs a massive enema.

"...this Larry Elder guy, even though I’ve never heard of him."

Hmmm. Might want to read some of his articles/interviews - would be worth your time.

It hasn’t been worth my time so far. But if he’s the most conservative candidate in the race I will be reading up on him.

If the rats split their votes among the 500 rat candidates and the GOP coalesces around Elder he could win.

Is Larry CA’s “Relief Factor”?

Not to be insulting, but if you’ve never heard of Larry Elder, then you are ignorant.

That can be cured.

Educate yourself.

He might get booted out of California, but whatever tricks were pulled to propel Biden into office could be used to put Newsom there, too.

Uhhh, you ARE insulting so kiss off.

You consider someone uneducated just because they don’t listen to some talk show host that you do? I truly doubt such arrogance can be cured and you do your candidate NO favors by being so hostile, demeaning, and truculent.

Larry is a great guy, but there is no bigger collection of stupid voters anywhere than Californistan.

Ignorance is not an insult. It means lack of knowledge. We are all ignorant of that which we do not know.

“...this Larry Elder guy, even though I’ve never heard of him.”

That’s too bad. He’s been doing CA talk radio since 2002, nationally onSRN since 2016. He’s a conservative black man, very intelligent, very logical and could also have been Rush’s follow-up.

Each and every man, woman, child, or thing living in CA can vote for Mr Elder 100%, but there is no way in hell the demonrats will allow it to happen
