Seriously, I think Grenell can win if he decides to run.
We need a name candidate who unlike Arnold isn’t an empty suit.
I’ve tried to come up with California conservatives who have name recognition and it’s a very short list.

(I used to respect the CIA because of people I’d known who worked there and some who had written books about their experiences and concerns. Fortunately, all of those men are retired; but they are probably cringing and embarrassed lately. The ‘woke’ ad being promoted now could not have convinced our enemies that the United States is a nation and power in serious decline if it had been DESIGNED to do exactly that. They seem to have high-school sophomore tyros running things over there, now.)
