“The best days of California are ahead of us.”
Could be true. Let’s see where that recall lands. And of course, who ascends to power in his place. I heard that the new head of California’s largest union hates Newsom. That should be interesting.
Never underestimate their willingness to do whatever it takes to win and to punish the voters for daring to suggest there are better options.
Heard this from someone who runs in political circles in CA.
If the internal polls show Newsom surviving the recall, he stays in place.
If the internal polls show Newsom being recalled then.
1. Newsom resigns, you know, for he good of the state, prior to the recall date.
2. The recall is canceled as the person that was to be recalled is no longer in office.
3. Democratic Lt. Gov. Eleni Kounalakis becomes the governor.
4. Senator Diane Feinstein retires.
5. Democratic Lt. Gov. Eleni Kounalakis names Newsom as the new senator from California.
6. Feinstein and husband continue to enrich themselves off of state contracts.
The same people remain at the table, the only thing that changes are the chairs they sit in.
