Hell would have to freeze over to have two Republicans as frontrunners in California. Well, with Katie Porter in the race, she sets the conditions for Hell freezing over. She is radioactive. She is a massive black hole of support who is not only losing support for herself but losing support for every other Democrat running.
Shardenfreude.
Many democRATs are not that worried. They know that Judge Boasberg, or some Judge with Boasbergers Syndrome will eventually step in to make things right.
“We’re not sure why the nazis are having any success at all against our team of candidates, but we know they changed the primary rules to cause this mess! They caused gas prices to be sky high and are looking to establish white supremacy in California! The Republicans are hateful and it shows in everything those fascists do!”
More erudite political analysis from Pollutico....
According to a recent poll...
“Eric Swalwell has emerged as the current frontrunner in California’s 2026 governor’s race, according to a recent Emerson College Polling survey conducted March 7–9, 2026. Swalwell leads with 17% support among likely voters, edging out Republican Steve Hilton, who dropped to 13% from 17% in February. Other top contenders include Tom Steyer and Chad Bianco, each at 11%, while Katie Porter has fallen to 8%.”
Other polls have Hilton in the lead with Bianco and Swawell tied for 2nd.
I shudder to think of Swawell as the next governor. Hopefully, like crabs in a barrel, the other Dem candidates will pull him down, split up the vote enough so Hilton and Bianco are the two candidates, although Bianco as a Republicans, favors a “path to citizenship” for illegals.
But, I figure that in the strange event that two Republicans finish in the top two spots, some judge will come along and void the results and demand the top Democrat get on the ballot.
Democrats have no problem breaking the rules when it helps them.
A judge would declare the open primary unconstitutional in a nano second if two republicans win the primary. In fact, I would bet there is already a ruling ready to go just waiting for such a scenario. “Disenfranchise” “Muh Racism” “White supremacy” “Fairness”
Even if, by some chance two republicans would be allowed to stay, the vote fraud industry would have a write in campaign that would guarantee a commie democrat.
If two Rs win the jungle primary, I figure the Dems would simply put a Democrat on the ballot to run against them, regardless of the rules. Some ‘Rat judge would okay it.
